Abdi Mohamed’s lifelong addiction

Lunch at Graze Steakhouse in Nairobi. Abdi Mohamed presides over his steak. Earlier, he was in the mosque up the road for Dhuhr, the lunchtime prayer. Abdi is a spiritual man, a religious man, and prayer is key. He also knows his Bible because, as a lad, he attended Garbatula High School, a Catholic mission school.

He chews contemplatively as he reminisces about his childhood in Balambala, a small town North of Garissa, along the moving ‘chocolate’ of Tana River. Of time spent in the fields looking after cows, hunting with dogs, and getting up to the usual mischiefs of boys.
