This week on #TubtaNabadda, we discuss the role of poetry in promoting reconciliation and unity among Somalis.
We interview Abdirisak Gedi Akhiro, a poet, playwright and lecturer at the Somali National University, about the power of poetry to galvanize people toward peace.
We also interview Hirsi Dhuh, a renowned poet, about the role of this art in the lives of Somali people and how it can be harnessed to promote peace in Somalia.
