Halwa hapana, that thing is uuuuuurgh

Kwa waarabu alkoho was banned and therefore the only stimulant was coffee. But it was too bitter and they never had sugar so had to accompany the coffee with dates and those other sweet things which unfortunately couldn't dissolve in the coffee like sugar does.

Same.way way they use water to clean their a$$es coz kwa desert there were no plants eg maigoya or paper for that but they could use water from the oasis. Also the way they use mkeka coz there was no wood to make furniture. They also used to live in tents made from animal skins coz there was no wood or cement for.construction of houses.
