Mr Hoehne appears to be a Kacaan revisionist. lol

 

Seriously though on the whole, it is a fair and balanced Essay

i only notice a one minor mistake

 

In this period, the Dervishes also gained their most prestigious victory in the battle of
Jiidali
(near today’s town of Bur’o). In this battle, the British commander of the new Camel Constabulary, Richard Corfield, was killed by Dervished on 9 August 1913

Richard Corfield was killed in Calmadow and not jidaali. Jiidali is in sanaag and it was Dervish fort.

Buroa is in Togdheer region not Sanaag. Jiidali is in Sanaag and is not close to Buroa.

Corfield was killed in Dhul Madoobe, which is in Togdheer. Otherwise, why shall Hoehne be a 'hired scholar', for whom? One has to distinguish between 'kacaan' and the historical facts. Scholars can try to get at the latter. The interpretation of course varies, but it is easy to brand someone as 'kacaan' or 'sth-diid' and not oneself get into the tedious and hard work of 'reassembling' the past in a conflict-ridden society like Somali society
