Somalia has held its first boxing competition in more than three decades, with young fighters in the conflict-torn nation dreaming of a career in international rings.

 

The three-day lightweight boxing competition that wrapped up Sunday took place in the capital Mogadishu, where athletes squared off in a ring set up on a basketball court surrounded by ruined buildings that bore witness to the countryโ€™s long conflict.

REVIVAL

The fighters were cheered by dozens of enthusiastic residents of the capital, many of whom had never seen or heard of boxing before in a country where football and basketball are far more popular, even before the war when such competitions were rare.

 

โ€œBoxing in Somalia stopped after the civil war and it is now reviving with the fact that the country is recovering from the war,โ€ said Awil Gelle Ahmed, deputy chairman of the countryโ€™s national boxing federation.

The last Somali competition he could recall was in 1982.

โ€œThere are significant changes which affect the political and security situation of the country and this competition is part of the changes.โ€

Mr Ahmed said the competition involved four teams of two people, all from Mogadishu as โ€œwe donโ€™t have access to other regions in the countryโ€.

GOING INTERNATIONAL

The winner was 21-year-old Mustafa Mohamed Nur, who toldย AFP: โ€œThis was a big day for me. I have become the first Somali tow in a boxing competition inside the country since the civil war.โ€

Another fighter, 21-year-old Abdiasiz Ali Shirad, said he began boxing in 2014.

โ€œI want to become like Mohamed Ali and Malik Hawkinsso that I can be a national boxer. This is my ambition and I want make my dreams come true,โ€ he said.

Somalia collapsed into civil war in 1991 and since then has endured successive rounds of conflict involving clan-based militias, foreign armies and, latterly, Al-Qaeda affiliated jihadists Al-Shabaab who stage regular deadly attacks on the capital.

Because of the conflict, many Somali athletes compete internationally for adopted nations.

Britainโ€™s most successful track athlete Mo Farah was a Somalian refugee, and title-winning female boxer Ramla Ali andher family fled Mogadishu during the war.

โ€œIโ€™m very happy to see this development which was missing for a long time. Now that the boxing competition is back, I think our boxers can compete with counterparts worldwide,โ€ said spectator Mohamed Ahmed Abdulahi.
