Nestled high on a plateau between the Haghier mountain range and the Arabian Sea, five Socotrans gather in a stone hut devoid of electricity, running water and all but the most essential supplies. After a fire-cooked dinner of goat, rice, and tea the men of the Dixam plateau settle in for a standard night of song, poetry and discussion about their island’s future.
