Somalia

Somalia combines a deeply rooted pastoral culture with a strongly maritime character in a way that reflects its position within the Horn of Africa, between the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. Its long coastline has shaped port life, fishing and commercial ties across nearby waters. In the south, the Juba and Shabelle rivers create important farming corridors through a predominantly dry country. Mogadishu, the capital on the Indian Ocean, has long served as a port city. Poetry and oral storytelling remain central to Somali cultural expression, and Somali belongs to the Cushitic branch of Afroasiatic languages.
