Tribalism does that to a lot of people lol I wonder if he wakes up to the nightmares of the dervishes? Historical revisionism as its worst state is always a favorite for the tribalists Haatu.

Garoodi presented quite a number of first-hand accounts of the discussed events written by the British fighting the Darwiish.

 

Instead of attacking the man, does anyone have a different narrative to buttress the 'Kacaan' version of events?

 

If not, then sit back and let him 'take you to school'. His motivations are between 'isaga iyo Allah'!

 

 

Advice to Garoodi:

Stay away from the broad lumping of all members of a clan together. The 'Kacaan' had its tribal agenda but many of the same lineage were innocent bystanders who neither benefited nor participated in that sad history.

 

Many hold on to the myths of the Kacaan (that you've effectively exposed here) as a coping mechanism for the debacle that has befallen them post 1991.

Let's say I agree with you for the sake of argument. Maxa Korfield keenay dhulkayaga? Bal yaa weydistay oo ku yidhi cunto iinoo keen? Yacni, it's like the Palestinians arguing that Ariel Sharon was helping them in the 1948. LOL

According to the British they could not care for the interior of SOMALILAND all they were interested in was the coast and for that they signed protection treaties to use the coast so no other foreign power would. When it comes to why did they come into the interior. The dervishes created problems for the people of the interior which subsequently had an effect on the coast and tr British felt obliged to assist to keep order. This was a time foreign powers were expanding and they would do whatever it took. Even the British argue they were in SOMALILAND for the coast and Hilib that's it really.

Point taken: even I am human. This is not about tribe what angers me is the fake narrative of history still used for tribal bravado. I understand that tribes are tribes they contain sick people like idaja and aw Jamac and good people as well who didn't ask for this fabrication.

 

The kacaan narrative is built on ismael mirre... So to prove my historical records are wrong one needs to show a source of ismael mirre in British intelligence papers that's the simple logic. If they claim ismael mirre killed corfield, ismael mirre chopped off his hand etc then show us even his name in the British intelligence papers simple.

 

The truth is idaja and aw Jamac are criminals: when you kill a man its only one man but when I fake history I intend to kill a people. That's the logic they used. Thy should be arrested. Even the narrative used today amongst Somalis is this narrative so it must be corrected.

 

Even Ali Galayd walks around Nairobi saying " somali ana USO halganay" in reference to the dervishes.

 

The reality is ismail mirre was 14 years old and a stable boy and if history was faked then it should not be used

"In 1910 , in the British House of common , the goverment soothingly stated that the power of the Mad Mullah was now completely broken. But in 1911 , Mahammed Abdille Hassan attacked the La canod folk , took their stoclks , and moved again into the pasture land of the Nogal Vally. Tales reached the British in Berbera that the Sayyid was becoming more ruthless with the disenting tribes that he was mutilating prisoners." page 43 Heart Of A Stranger

 

Kacaan historians argue the las canod folk first supported the movement, they were the movement and ismael mirre was the top general and was brave etc. this is the only reason why they say even today dervish banu nahay somali ban USO halganay and Sado Cali and Cali Galayd still run around arguing this in the 21st century.

 

the above shows the House of Commons debate on the true reality: so how did they do it: make others look brave while being victims.

 

 

Aw Jaamac known full well pointing out those above facts will spoil his narrative of the "brave" Las canod folk "warriors" that fended off the camel police in that historical day and managed to keep the loot. So this how Aw Jaamac did it , instead of saying the Las canod folk were attacked and were looted by Dervish he put it this way " Daraawiish oo geel iyo xoolo ka soo qaaday beel ka mid ahayd beelaa Burco ka dhow", and then he proceded to say " beeshii geela laga qaaday iyo ciidankiiI Ingiriis baa isku helay hoosada buurta Dul-madoobe".. One gets the impression hearing the word "beelaa burco ka dhow" that they were Landers and that was Aw Jaamac's intention , it was a clever lie , if he was caught he would say well the Las canod folk too live close to Burco?? so it was taken by his d block as though the camles and the people who were attacked were Ianders.

 

No shame Walahi......now that is what I call hate. A hate which derives from many different factors I don't want to mention to hide what shame is left in them plus its Ramadan

Notice how the lander leadership of the dervish are all dead but the rest surrenderd the night before according to the British: dervish banu nahay sheko is finished.

 

"It was now apparent that all the remnants of the Dervish force from the Medishe and Jidali area were converging on Taleex; and the tribal leaders, although they had no proof, were convinced that the Mullah was in the fortress. A large party of Dervishes escorting the Mullah's main caravan had been successfully engaged by the Tribal Levy while trying to make their way into Taleex. During the fight many notorious Dervishes had been killed,

274 THE MAD MULLAH OF SOMALILAND

including Haji Sudi, the ex-naval interpreter, and Ibrahim Boghol, the commander of the Mullah's forces in the northern area. The captures comprised many of the Mullah's personal belongings, his correspondence, his clothing and jewellery and, in addition, 1,400 camels, 450 cows, 50 ponies, 51 rifles, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, and 300 camel loads of supplies.

The Camel Corps had joined Gibb on the road to Gaolo which they reached together on the evening of the 8th February. On the following morning the Mullah's second son Abdurrahman Jahid, a feckless youth, and his uncle, Haji Osman, who had deserted the haroun overnight were brought into the Camel Corps zariba. They stated that the Mullah was in Taleex but would have left the previous evening, had it not been for the presence of 200 men of the Tribal Levy who were in the vicinity watching developments. They were confident that the Mullah would leave that night. Acting on this information, which might or might not be trustworthy, Ismay and Gibb decided to make a demonstration round Taleex that evening".
