The Past Has an Afterlife with Gilad Avrahami | Guest: Ahmed Jama (Part 3)
In the powerful conclusion of this three-part series, host Gilad Avrahami sits down once more with Ahmed Jama for a deeply personal and moving conversation about memory, loss, and the responsibility to tell the human story behind history.
Ahmed shares his family’s firsthand experiences during the violence of the late 1980s in Somaliland—stories of displacement, survival, and unimaginable loss that shaped his life and purpose. From refugee camps where his parents met, to growing up in a rebuilding society marked by resilience, his journey reflects the strength of a people determined to move forward.
This episode shifts from geopolitical history to the human impact of conflict, exploring how trauma is carried across generations—and how storytelling becomes a tool for healing, education, and change.
Ahmed also reflects on the urgency of documenting untold stories and challenges the world to recognize Somaliland not just politically, but through the lived experiences of its people.
This is a profound and emotional finale that reminds us: history is not just what happened—it is who lived it, who survived it, and who chooses to carry it forward.
