Hello Professor Togane

How can anyone say you are a crazy old hate monger after reading this article? I believe you are one of a kind Somali who simply loves and cares about his country and people. I personally and truly enjoy your writings. I always yearn for your writings and every time I read them you change me completely as a Somali, honestly you show me life in a different prospect and inspire me now matter how depressed I am about the events in my country.

I honestly believe you are a man who wants nothing but the best for his country Somalia and his people Somalis. Despite the fact that I do not agree with many of the things that you write especially about your obsession, as you have also admit, about Habir Gidir. But I believe you are brash and forth coming and write with conviction. Your writings are dynamic and full of history. I particularly enjoy your test for Somali poetry and poets. To me my brother you are a true Somali who does not hide behind smoking mirrors and tell nothing buy lies like pathetic Mr. Glayr.

I have a soothing word for you bro. Insha-alaah Somalia will go back to its glory days and history and Somalia will remember their brave sons who stood fast and continued to believe in her in her worst times. I do like you not because you criticize Habir Gidir I like you because you see the truth. I have the some believe and conviction as you in believing that our country and us are victims of thugs and hypocrites like Indho Cade, Dahir Aweys and Galayr. I am glad we have now realized who the true enemies of Somalia are and am looking forward to the most glories time ever in our homeland. I have no doubt that justice and rule of law will soon rein in Somalia. Keep
writing bro you are our only hope.
