I was born on the third of March, 2000, three months before Eritrea merely broke away from Ethiopia. Ethiopia annexed Eritrea in the late 1960s. Long story short, those nations started to fight over land and sea. They had ongoing border fights for about 30 years until a major war broke out in 1998 which lasted 2 years.

The first one was my Native Language which is Somali, the second one was Kiswahili which was used as the national language in Kenya, and my third language was English.
