守护村庄
Hawa Abdi, doctor and rescuer of Somalia’s refugees, died on August 5th, aged 73
救护索马里难民的医生哈瓦·阿迪，于8月5日去世，享年73岁。
After her morning prayer and before she had eaten breakfast, the sun barely up, Hawa Abdi liked to walk around the village. First she would go to the communal farm to start the generators and check the crops: sorghum, maize, bananas, beans. Then she would go past the villagers’ dwellings, just stirring. When she had bought this land, in the Lower Shebelle west of Mogadishu, the capital, trees stretched to the horizon. Many remained, but now thousands of people sheltered among them, in a haven that had come to be called Hawa Abdi, after her. “Where are you going?” one dusty, desperate traveller might ask another in the years of Somalia’s civil wars, and the frequent answer was: “To Hawa.”
太阳刚刚露头，哈瓦·阿迪便已经结束了晨祷。早饭前，她通常会在村里走走。她首先去公社农场打开发电机，查看庄稼，（地里有）有高粱、玉米、香蕉和豆子。然后，途径村民的住处，她会把他们叫醒。这片土地位于首都摩加迪沙的下谢贝利州以西，她刚买下时，这里树木成林，一望无际。很多树现在仍然保留着，但树林中已有成千上万的人安家。这里成为他们的避难所，并以她的名字哈瓦·阿迪命名。在索马里内战的岁月里，每当一个满身尘土、神情绝望的流浪者问起另一个人：“你去哪？”，得到的回应经常是“哈瓦”。
