AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'I am originally from Somalia but was born in Yemen. After leaving Yemen, my family moved to Malta for a few years before migrating to Australia in 1991. My parents couldn't go back to Somalia because the civil war had broken out as they were moving from one country to the other. As a result, my parents had no contact with their families for years. My siblings and I were born in different countries: my older sister and brother were born in Saudi Arabia; my younger brother was born in Malta.' (Introduction)

I think I smell of war.
Of smoke and strange men
