Cabdullahi Macallin Axmed, Dhoodaan (born 1941 in Dollo, died April 2013) was Somali Ethiopian poetry in Somali language. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wariyaha VOA Laanteeda afka Soomaaliga ee Kenya, Maxamad Faarax Shire, ahna tifatiraha warsidaha caanka ah ee www.afdheer.com ayaa wareysitay Abwaanka Stanza )〕 A well-known Somali poet Abdullahi Moalin Ahmed “Dhoodaan” died at age of 72 in the city of Harar. He was one of the pioneers of Somali poetry and arguably the greatest poet of the last century. He was born within a family of shepherds from the Ogaden, he could not have a formal education. == Early Life == Born to a nomadic pastoralist family, he had what could have been speech and language delay disorder at an early age. Young Dhoodaan during those years was a very shy, quiet, and observant child, many thought he will never speak again. Not surprising for a nomadic society that had little knowledge of disorders or its diagnosis techniques. Little did they know what was boiling under his prolonged silence and like a volcano he erupted. What followed was a miracle, not only was he able to speak but was able to do so flawlessly through poetry. He spoke elegantly and with ease, unusual for a child, yet what people didn’t understand was where he acquired such a skill. Poetry did not run in his blood line, in fact none of his family history was known for poetry. But because he didn’t have the ability to speak at an early age, he compensated it through observation. He made sense of his surroundings by silently constructing words in his mind. This would later become poetry, and through this poetry he would later speak about the issues facing his community; whether it was famine, war or love. He did not shy away from challenging the status quo, and the leaders of his community. From that point, it was clear that he was not an ordinary young boy, but a legend in the making. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dhoodaan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
