Freeing Togane

Togane’s site is finally up, the man who popularized clever political antidotes about tribalism. He’s a got a website finally. I remember meeting Togane in Montreal at his house one morning for breakfast, and I remember walking the hallway of his house, and seeing books everywhere, even on the kitchen table. All of these books have been marked, read, and occasionally during my visit he would grab a book and flip to a page and quote me something. His religious discourse is intriguing – he memorized the Koran, and knows a lot about the religion – which is interesting since most people often ask him whether he is Muslim or not. I did see a picture of Togane dressed as Santa Clause with a kid on his lap. That morning I learned a lot from him. He visited Ottawa recently for a Somali youth night event and he stayed near my house and he did tell us great stories. There will be a launch party for the website in Ottawa or Montreal, not sure yet. I will post all the necessary information for the launch party. Big ups to SOL for hooking him with the new site, its off the hook. WWW.TOGANE.ORG
