"They told us to open up the embassy, or 'we'll blow you away'. And
then they looked up and saw the Marines on the roof with these really
big guns, and they said in Somali, 'Ignaralli, ahow', which means
'excuse me-- I didn't mean it, my mistake' "
> ~Karen Aquilar, in the U.S. Embassy, Mogadishu, Somalia 1991

A safe guess would be khat. It gets so hot there that they will take a break from the day's routine at the heat of the day and sit around socializing, etc. Chewing on some khat is a part of that relaxing ritual for some of them. They also chew it sometimes as part of putting on their warface ritual before they expect battle.
