About Murti Side
Murti Side is a devoted storytelling platform created to celebrate, preserve, and share the rich tapestry of Somali history, sports, and cultural heritage. We believe every story—big or small—connects us to our past and helps shape our future. Through carefully researched articles, personal essays, interviews, and photo features, Murti Side highlights the people, events, and traditions that define the Somali experience. Our content is written with respect, curiosity, and a commitment to authenticity so readers from every generation can learn, reflect, and take pride in their roots.
Our editorial focus spans three complementary pillars. First, history: we dig into untold narratives, local heroes, and turning points that have influenced communities across the Horn of Africa and the diaspora. Second, sports: from grassroots football matches to profiles of Somali athletes, we spotlight the role of sports in building character, community, and national pride. Third, culture: music, poetry, cuisine, ceremonies, and everyday rituals that carry meaning — we document these living traditions so they remain visible and appreciated.
Murti Side is for anyone who wants to reconnect with Somali heritage or discover it for the first time. We welcome scholars, students, athletes, artists, families, and curious readers. Our team combines careful research with accessible writing, aiming to make each piece both informative and engaging. We also invite contributions from community members: your memories, family stories, and local knowledge enrich our archive and help create a shared, evolving narrative.
Beyond publishing, Murti Side aims to build community. We run occasional events, collaborate with cultural groups, and support youth projects that encourage storytelling, sports participation, and historical awareness. Our long-term goal is to create a living, growing resource that future generations can use to learn about who we are, where we come from, and what binds us together.
