HARGEISA, North-west Somalia (UNHCR)
- "Home Sweet Home" to Ahmed Abdi is a small, igloo-shaped
structure, covered with bits of plastic sheeting and flattened tin cans,
occupying a patch of barren land on the outskirts of Hargeisa, the capital
of Somaliland.
But despite a life of joblessness and
poverty, he said that after several years spent wandering across the Horn
of Africa - first homeless, then as a refugee - he would not trade it for
the world.
"Life is better here. I am happy
to be hungry in my home country," he said.
