Kinship networks provided essential refuge for Somali traders ruined by war

Evidence

The commissioner in Negele told Abdisamad that he did not have the money to pay him but forwarded the request to Mogadishu. When he realized that the money from the British was not forthcoming, Hussen went back to Mogadishu penniless and ill with malaria. In Mogadishu he found refuge in the home of the relative with the meat shop, Jama Gurray. — Abdi Ismail Samatar, Africa’s First Democrats, 194
