This book is a gripping account of the remarkable reign of Queen Arraweelo, a beloved Somali Fictional Queen who held sway over a significant portion of Somalia. Queen Arraweelo, though renowned for her intelligence and leadership, was infamous for her brutal treatment of men, resorting to castration to maintain her power. With an iron grip on her empire, she ruthlessly suppressed any challenges to her authority. However, after an astonishing half-century in power, Queen Arraweelo met her downfall at the hands of her own grandson, who ultimately overthrew and killed her. Written by Mr. Mohamed Sh. Hassan and beautifully illustrated by Abdi Abdullahi Ibrahim, this book was first published in 1994 by Scansom Published and has since been republished in its third edition in 2014, captivating readers with its captivating tale of power, cruelty, and ultimate downfall.
