As we know every society dwells on this universal, has a deep historical events which express their joys , or sorrows or unforgettable episodes left them painful memories during their prime life or later, actually keeping history in a record or in museum is the best way to know something about specific community dwells on this world, which deals history, culture, ethnic, or other previous backgrounds.

Enhance Awdal community is one of those communities which we mentioned above those had already been century an old historical ties, long before they ever were anywhere else in Somali spoken territory. the best example of this, the long lasting empire called Adal Empire, which ruled from Zeila and even Shawa Ethiopia, it was powerful empire and defeated many Christian’s rulers.

On January 31 in 1984 was bright nice day cloudy with sunny intervals  accompany a gentle breeze were blowing from the coastal direction, people in Borama city enjoying wonderful climate and happy day, but this positive feeling wouldn’t develop so long happiness as soon as it changed the darkest day at Borama history, at this moment the big clock hand stopped 10:35AM.

When six Ethiopian jet fighters raided Borama the capital of Awdal region, the war planes bombed 4 primary schools, residential buildings and market places, In that aggression among.37 school children (6-14 years old) and four teachers were killed 39 more school children and 5 teachers were badly injured, in time when the world nations were busy in saving children from malnutrition, hunger, disease and ignorance, the Ethiopian regime is directing its military and human efforts to kill and massacre Somali children.

 and there is no doubt at all that  Ethiopian regime is ruthless enemy that indiscriminately livestock and massacre human being both children and adults in violation of all human rights and international laws.

On behave of Awdal community and the effected families, we appeal to all peace loving people and international organization to condemn the barbaric Ethiopian aggressive air raid to Somali schools.

Any how, it is clear this atrocity sends impels to entire Somali nation about their only enemy Ethiopia, and also remember that an old sparks can still create heat! But the massacre happened that day on January 30th 1984; I deeply believe that no one can shut a rose turn up. But the big question on the table is, how Mohamed Siyad Bare military government responds this massacre or is there was any emergence aid brought to the victims

Really the answer is clear, and it is obviously to the most people in the region. They are deeply believed that the government did not full-fill its responsibility. We did not receive neither emergence aid nor help from the government. We all know that we can not ask compensation from the Ethiopian dictator Migusto all we get was a small items of food from NGO's.  Most Awdalties were telling the government to do something or the government had to protect the city from further bombardment.  At-least, the crime that committed against young students had to be presented to the international community, but this is not happen absolutely. This shortened the moral support of the most Awdalties to the government.

. All in all, it is true that memory wanders as shadow fall back today's darkness; days beyond recall vision comes before us so gloomy, so anxiety of her lips now silent and whose lips are closed  in patient !!!

Now it is time to get to the path of creating memorial tower in the city centre for the victims of that day which will be remembered forever in our hearts and on the walls of history, and it is the best way to honour those fine souls who passed away that day. Especially which helping today’s new generation to know more about their previous history, also we have to keep in mind because every society has a sad stories to remember like this event.

Finally, I conclude my long running gloomy pen, On behave of Awdal community In Djibouti republic and the effected families, expressing of condolence with a deepest sympathy from deep in our heart to those demised Awdalties society who lost their beloved children, our childhood friends, our buddies those who would attend peaceful elementary schools and walk with us down the path of life. Unfortunately we miss those who died that day and may Allah rest their souls in paradise; May Allah blesses our dear friends who are alive.

Insha’Allah, surely goodness and mercy shall flow them after here!!! We see Ethiopian war machine again in Somali territory. We hope we will prevail, and history will never repeat itself. Ethiopians can not kill innocent Somali school children again.
