The journos jet in every morning, then jet back to Nairobi for happy hour.
At least that's what my hubby told me he did. #somalipirates

That's a wild yarn to get laid, which you must have fell for when you met him.
"Oh, indeed, dear! My mates and I would secure a plane to take us into the northern part of the Mog when the day's fighting would erupt, and we would get our story, you see, love? And then we would be back for Sundowners at The Talisman by 5 every afta-noon ... the Rover was always cleaned and ready to go at Wilson (airport), you see, love, and Wamwara would always be waiting paitently to drive us back to the Talisman's bar! Wonda-ful days, indeed ... would you like to go back to my place for a drink, love?"
Terms of reference:
The Talisman: a restaurant/bar in the Karen district of Nairobi.
Rover: Range Rover or Land Rover
Wilson Airport: the other airport in Nairobi, as opposed to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (most flights to and from Somalia originate out of Wilson, where there is a significant military presence)
Wamwara: Kenyan male name
But ha, ha -- ha! #somalipirates

Well, your right about his age and it was almost 20 years ago, but he wasn't network or expat freelance. He and the reporter only stayed about 10 days as they were there to cover Texas troops only, not the whole political situation.
I'm not sure, but this was a PR military junket. He flew by military, sleeping in a sleeping bag, etc.
We were already married so this didn't impress me much.
Otherwise, ha, ha -- ha. #somalipirates

In a deep, husky voice, Guled answered, "Yes we do."
I think you can tell where this is going to lead.

The good news for us is that twenty years hence, they'll provision three schooners, discover the Americas and, after slaying most of the indigenous people living here (enslaving the survivors), civilization will finally arrive. Tapas & House music for ALL!

Thank you very much.
Captain Morgan also comes to mind, especially as I've taken orders from him now and again.

The shells she sells are surely Seychelles.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
Will she meet her demise at the business end of a black market AK-47?

Hard to believe the Somalians could have pulled this off when we have the Portuguese Navy hard at work protecting us.

Lieutenant Commander Fernandes was said to have the smell of port about him.
