It was very unproffesional and silly of him to claim very known sections who contributed to Somaliland they became another clan in 1970 kkkkkkk. Baaga. Fule xantii ma moogana,,,,I am sure those subclans know what people say behind their backs, making it official and written on papers is what threatens them...as long as it not written a sheeko baralay is a sheeko baralay when published it becomes part of history...

Very intriguing name... "Dirkii Sac-Maallada" ... Even the name of the book invites for criticism, Somalis or Somalilanders or Northern Somalis are Generally Camel herdsmen, not Lo' jir Except for Areas in Western Hargeisa and Borama. Tribal history is a collection of folklore stories that have been made to a sacrament by individuals of the tribe....Thus they will consider changing it to unfavorable events as sacrilege to the their own entity. I believe it is violation of Somaliland constitution, but what is more baleful is the cold reaction by the Somaliland community to such heinous act, the general public have rationalized the issue as "Qabiilada ayuu ka hadlay, Yaa faraha la gal yidhi "...This is another indicator of how our people are still novice to Democracy and Freedom of expression, We still have a long path to go before being ripe for such issues...
