Third interview
This is my third interview I
already did the last two interviews, so I have good experience for last two
interview so I did third interview without any problem this experience helps me to do better at this time I still choose interview with Somalia person. I did interview with Abdul he
came from Mogadishu we meet at the library I’m still used my phone to recorded
interview process. The objective of this interview is to study to know others
culture, lifestyle, holidays, religion, history, and personal experience
because of this We point out so many things with tis interview.
Interview report for the third interview
I found the most interesting thing for third interview is Marriage is considered a sacred and blessed
event in Somalia, as it typically takes place only once in an individual’s
lifetime. Yet, while Somali culture embraces this union between two people as
an institution, there is one aspect to this otherwise happy occasion that
remains an ever present specter on this aspect of Somali culture: forced
marriage. The Somali
“community” is comprised of a vast and varied array of clans, social groups,
and familial bonds, each of which carries with it its own beliefs when it comes
to the concept of marriage. For some Somalis, when a girl reaches the age of
nine, she is considered suitable for marrying a given suitor. Such is the
nature of this belief system that by the age of 15, if the girl has not yet
been wed, she may be considered flawed in some aspect and viewed as an outcast
or as bad luck to her family.
Country Report
Mogadishu was located in east Africa Mogadishu without a
formal parliament for more than two decades after the overthrow of President
SiadBarre in 1991.Years of anarchy followed the downfall of President Barre,
and it was not until 2012, when a new internationally-backed government was
installed, that the country began to enjoy a measure of stability once more.
The decades of fighting between rival warlords meant that the country was
ill-equipped to deal with natural disasters such as drought, and around half a
million people died in the Somali famines of 1992 and 2010-12. Mogadishu
governor has less mean to the people. Mogadishu Living in Mogadishu is very
simple. You do not have to work every day if you have something to eat and they
food there is very cheap. People in Mogadishu can build their own house on any
empty land and they do not have to pay for that land, because it’s their
homeland and governor has no control. The land is controlled by the people of
Mogadishu. The situation has been further aggravated by prolonged droughts. The
combination of conflict and Natural disasters has eroded livelihoods, caused
structural food insecurity, population displacements and extreme poverty.
Moreover, as a consequence of civil insecurity and of the absence of a central
government, the Somali health and educational systems have ceased functioning.
The country belongs to the group of Low-Income Countries under Stress
(LICUS).Poverty and food insecurity affect vulnerable groups such as nomadic
pastoral communities and internally displaced people particularly, as well as
the rural population as a whole. Agriculture and livestock rearing are the most
important sectors of the economy, but the country is still heavily dependent on
external aid and remittances from Somali living abroad. The population is
predominantly rural and very young, with a high crude birth rate and a very
high dependency ratio. The health and educational sectors now depend on
international organizations and NGOs.Problems of insecurity limit the provision
of services. As a consequence, the level of indicators of human development in
Somalia is very low. Infant, child and maternal mortality rates are extremely
high. Incidence of infectious diseases is very high, and immunization rates are
low. Life expects an estimated at 47 years. The food supply is based on milk
and cereals. The dietary energy supply is insufficient to meet the population’s
energy requirements.
