Three months Quote by Stephen England
““Three months in Somalia, Darren Roth thought, glancing impatiently at the crosswalk sign, waiting for the symbol to flash. If he closed his eyes he could still hear it all, the bleating of goats in the villages, the rumble of a lorry’s engine. The crackle of small-arms fire in the night. Three months hunting an elusive enemy, militants loyal to Al-Shabab””
