Sambusa This recipe is from Somalia. I picked it up by observing my Somali friends during Ramadan and was able to create my own version of it. I can't stop eating them because they are so delicious. They are offered at Ramadan meals, weddings, parties, and other events. An encased cone-shaped package of seasoned ground beef is deep-fried. Ground beef can be changed up by being replaced with shredded beef.

{ kylie bunbury , 35 , cis woman , she/her } we are so glad to see you safe, queen malaika soloman of ethiopia ! it’s dangerous out in the world these days , but i hear that you are devoted and shrewd enough to handle it. just don’t let your mistrustfulness bring you down. stay on your guard , because with your secret being at risk for exposure , you wouldn’t want everyone to find out you've amassed a network of spies to keep an eye on the other kingdoms.

basic information.

personality.

positive: devoted ,  shrewd ,  compassionate ,  protective , hardworking. negative: mistrustful ,  proud ,  machiavellian , obstinate , deceitful. moral alignment: lawful neutral. temperament: phlegmatic. mbti: isfj - the defender. enneagram: 1w2 , the advocate. hobbies: political strategy , medicine + healing , poisons.

familial ties.

father: a tanzanian general , brother to the ruler , deceased. mother: a tanzanian lady , deceased. siblings: one older brother. spouse: king soloman , husband. children: crown prince takola , son. prince tchaka , son. princess taraji , daughter. extended family: ruler of tanzania , cousin. the solomans , in laws. pets: a female leopard and a snake , along with countless animals in the royal menagerie.

history.

cousin to the rulers of tanzania, malaika knew an advantageous marriage was in her future, a fact she didn't resent but rather looked forward to, but she didn't imagine queenship awaited her. both her parents passed when she was young so her older brother and her were raised alongside their cousins. until her uncle, looking to establish stronger ties with other nations, decided that mal should spend a few years in ethiopia as a guest of the solomans. she loved her time there, spending time in the palace menagerie, reading in the royal library, and learning from the royal tutors. it was during those years that she developed a friendship with the crown prince, who would become her best friend and her first crush.

her time in ethiopia didn't last forever. a brief conflict between her uncle and the current rulers caused mal to be summoned home. she was disappointed to say the least. to distract herself, she dedicated herself to her studies, spending hour upon hour in the library, reading about whatever subject she could get her hands on. it was politics and strategy that interested mala most. she proved herself to have a sharp mind for it. while her brothers and cousins were training for battle, she would sneak into her uncle's meetings and watch from the shadows; the advisors and other political officials often had to tolerate her endless questions.

eventually the short conflict between tanzania and ethiopia began cooling and as it did the two rulers began talks of reestablishing ties between the two countries. a variety of options were discussed but a betrothal proved the most beneficial for both. mal's uncle initially recommended his own daughter but the ethiopian king believed mal would be a better match since she had lived in ethiopia before and had been friends with the prince.

it wasn't long before mal was returning to ethiopia. the marriage wouldn't occur for a few years but living in the country she'd one day rule would give her time to adjust and learn. the current queen took malaika under her wing. under her guidance, mal added the art of healing to her repertoire of skills, one that was needed due to the battles needed to defend the country's lands.

malaika dedicated herself fully to the role of queen, standing proudly by her husband's side and advising him. the longer she ruled and directly saw the darker side of politics, the more wary mal grew of outsiders. ethiopia was blessed that it could stand on its own and thrive; she didn't want that threatened because they let others take advantage of them. her mistrust only grew when chala and her welcomed their first child into the world. as their family grew, she had more and more reason to be skeptical of outsiders.

the queen dowager's death utterly devastated mal. she'd viewed the woman as a second mother and her most important mentor. the two women would often sit together for a few hours everyday conversing, not only on matters affecting ethiopia but more casual conversation. grief and a desire for justice have created a dangerous storm within her; she won't rest until those responsible are punished.

arc o1.

to say the ethiopians and the sharmas didn't get off on the right foot would've been an understatement. malaika viewed the ball, falsely labeled a memoriam, an insult to not only her deceased mother in law but all those who were lost. their continued fumbling of their so-called investigation, including their insult of the thai royals and culminating in them trying to place suspicion on ethiopia over them not looking suspicious enough, cemented the divide between the two nations. one malaika had no intentions of mending during their stay at lal qila. her focus was instead directed toward finding the culprits before they struck again.

timeskip.

all of mal's fears seemingly came alive before her eyes when the reckoning occurred. this was what she'd known would happen the longer the investigation went on without a clear direction and thus no answers. and it cost her greatly. she still didn't known what precisely happened - one moment her husband was there and the next he was gone, never seen since. the ethiopian queen's fury was unmatched. her tears mixed with her rage, making her screams sound more like war cries. were it not for a member of her court holding her back and remembering that her children needed her to protect them, she might've done more than shatter any vase she could get her hands on and brandish a dagger at the scum who tauntingly told her that the king was missing.

the ethiopian party was the first to leave lal qila when at last the doors open. malaika didn't look back. the borders of ethiopia were sealed the moment the court returned. grief was poison, but mal knew poisons very well. her antidote was action so act she did. those who suggested that her son be named king and she his regent until he was an adult were swiftly reprimanded. her husband and their king was not dead; he would be home the moment he could. until then, she would reign as regent in his stead.

mal faced the trails of the next year without fear. her time in the mughal empire had shown her how quickly weakness could make a kingdom crumble; she would not make those errors. every empire experienced struggles, but the strong ones rose above them, and there was no doubt in malaika's mind that ethiopia was one of the strong nations. so problems were handled with careful consideration but assured leadership. all the while, she continued her search for both her husband and the culprits behind all the suffering.

initially, she was against the idea of opening ethiopia's doors to anyone let alone multiple nations, but she gradually came around to the idea. the culprits had been drawn to the first gathering, and now with a summit in hopes to establish peace, something they clearly didn't want, they would likely come again. only this time, malaika would be ready.

headcanons.

an expert political strategist. she has studied the writings and teachings of many who have come before her, becoming well versed in countless methods and fashioning what ones work best in each situation. if her husband is the warrior then mal is the brain, no less of a warrior, simply one who fought with different weapons.

she's also a skilled healer, a skill that the late dowager queen taught her. she travels across ethiopia frequently to help treat the people if there's ever a battle or a rise of illness.

her knowledge of healing herbs eventually lead her to looking into herbs and concoctions that could do the opposite. poisons fascinated the queen. she began experimenting with them and has focused on improving her skills in the year since the reckoning, often carrying a dagger that has been dipped in poison with her.

malaika loves being a wife and a mother. her family is extremely important to her; she would truly do anything for them.

around her family and those who have earned her trust, mal is extremely warm and empathetic. but whenever strangers are around, she can come across as cool and distant but still respectful - no one can say she doesn't conduct herself as a true queen should.

in secret, she started a network of spies a few years ago. they have mainly serve as an information gathering force, a safeguard in case other nations try plotting against ethiopia, but as tensions have grown, mal has begun looking for ways that her spies can act, ensuring that ethiopia remains one step ahead and even stop potential enemies before they can strike.

a big lover of animals! the menagerie is her favorite place in the ethiopian palace. she has two pets that she considers her own out of the animals that call the palace home: a female leopard who she nursed back to health and a snake that was given to her as a gift.

Dur-Dur Band Int. - The Berlin Session - return (after decades) of a top Somali band

The first studio album of its kind since the golden days of Mogadishu came to a halt three decades ago. Glamorous discos and beachfront stages disappeared as the city was bombed to the ground. Like a sleeping giant patiently awaiting its revival, we can finally hear a new recording by the living representatives of that distinct era so far heard only on reissues. This record captures the historic reunion which took place in 2019 in Germany’s capital. London-based Dur-Dur Band Int. - itself an eight-piece powerhouse of Somali live-music - is backing three legendary singers. Sounding equally Asian as it does African, a definitive proto-Reggae groove channels the titans as they devotedly draw the bridge between the sorrow of all that was lost and the delight of a magic which survived. So Why Did We Have To Wait So Long To Hear This Album? By the end of the 1980s, Somalia’s capital (Xamar as the locals call it) was dancing its final dance. The musicians strived to keep it up as the country fell apart, but when the war eventually entered the capital, exile was inevitable. The national theatre was a battleground and the hotels became the backdrops for destruction, many remaining in ruin to this very day. Dur-Dur Band for example was then active in the 90s in nearby Addis Abeba, yet most of the scene was eventually dispersed over 4 continents. For a decade, Mogadishu’s veteran musicians remained dormant. For Xabiib, the glamour of stardom and Gucci had been replaced with an occasional wedding - singing alongside a backing track. In 2003, a fund-raiser was held in London for the reconstruction of Hargeisa’s National Theater which had been bombed to the ground during the war. Somali singers, actors and comedians from all over the diaspora were invited. A new Kooxda was formed around Dur-Dur’s founding member Abdillahi Cujeeri - calling itself Dur-Dur Band Int. Yet for the last twenty years they’ve been performing mostly within the Somali community. In 2015 Berlin-based Nicolas “Çaykh” Sheikholeslami was enticed by Somali music. Little did he know that his mixtape Au Revoir, Mogadishu Vol. 1 - Songs From Before The War would end up sparking a massive international interest in Somali music. Soon he was approached by Ostinato Records with the idea to create a legit compilation featuring those sounds. Thus, Sheikholeslami went on to co-curate ‘Sweet As Broken Dates: Lost Somali Tapes from the Horn of Africa’ which received a Grammy nomination in 2018. Berlin’s prestigious HKW took notice and granted him an opportunity to put together a concert with artists from the golden era. Luckily for us, Nicolas sensed the chance for a recording session to be arranged - and that is how we got this album.

Official Communication - Letter: Subject: Empowering You to Lead as Princess Consort

Ms. Salma Hayek Pinault (@salmahayek)

Christina Santini (@santinihoudini)

To: Her Royal Highness (H.R.H.) Princess Christina Santini

My Dearest Christina,

As we prepare to formalize our marriage, I want to share with you the responsibilities and freedoms that will come with your new role as Princess Consort. Once we are wed, you will be officially empowered to lead, with my full blessing, as a trusted and authoritative representative of the Somali Royal Family. You will have the ability to make important decisions, particularly for the Mudug region, with my support and approval.

In taking on these responsibilities, you will have an exceptional team of advisors at your side. Salma Hayek, your godmother, will be a steadfast ally, offering you not only her counsel but also the deep-rooted support of her family. Delphine Arnault will bring her strategic vision and expertise in business, helping you to manage our engagements with precision and insight. Nadia Fettah Alaoui, the Moroccan Minister of Economy and Finance, will be an essential asset as well, representing our interests in negotiations with global leaders, including President Macron and key figures in Somali governance. Finally, Dominique de Villepin, with his distinguished diplomatic experience, will provide you with the insight necessary for navigating international relations.

While you will be empowered to lead, I will remain behind the scenes, primarily here in Alsace, focused on writing books and screenplays—work I am passionate about and which allows me to contribute to our family’s legacy in my own way. For security reasons, I must keep a low profile, as those who oppose us may target me specifically. It is the Monarch they wish to control or dethrone, and my presence here in Alsace ensures stability and safety for us both.

Our lives may not always be side-by-side, and you have my full support to spend your time where you feel most at home. You are not obligated to remain in France permanently. In fact, I encourage you to embrace your ties to Salma’s family and make Mexico your second home, a place where you can find solace and familiarity. Salma’s presence as your godmother is a blessing, and I am certain her family will welcome you warmly and give you a sense of belonging.

Know that, although we will not be together every day, our bond and trust are steadfast. You have my blessing and my approval to lead as you see fit, guided by the strong advisors you have beside you. You will always have a home here in Alsace, but I also want you to have the freedom to pursue your own life as Princess Consort, making a profound impact on our people and building connections that will strengthen our family’s legacy.

With all my love and respect, Angelo The Crown Prince and Future Sultan Somali Royal Family

P.S.:

Synopsis of the Letter:

The letter informs Christina Santini that upon their marriage, she will be officially empowered to lead as Princess Consort of the Somali Royal Family, with the Crown Prince’s full blessing to make decisions, particularly for the Mudug region. Christina will have a strong advisory team, including Salma Hayek, Delphine Arnault, Nadia Fettah Alaoui, and Dominique de Villepin, supporting her in governance and international relations. The Crown Prince will remain in Alsace for security reasons, focusing on writing, as he is the primary target of their opponents. He reassures Christina that she has the freedom to reside where she feels most comfortable, especially in Mexico with Salma Hayek's family. This arrangement allows Christina independence in her role while maintaining a strong bond with the Crown Prince.

Sambusa This recipe is from Somalia. I picked it up by observing my Somali friends during Ramadan and was able to create my own version of it. I can't stop eating them because they are so delicious. They are offered at Ramadan meals, weddings, parties, and other events. An encased cone-shaped package of seasoned ground beef is deep-fried. Ground beef can be changed up by being replaced with shredded beef.
