First of all , I wish these Tigray stooge would have a sense of decency to leave things that he doesn't know anything. Do not make yourself a fool and delve everything. This is a Somali family issue and we would like do debate among us despite people like you throwing himself head on. Don't you have a shame. The so called Boqor had signed a peace treaty with Italians. The Darwiish never fought his base until later, he specifically fought the British, and the British did the logical thing that any colonial power was expected to do which was divide and rule. As a Tigray, you are expected to always side of the Anti Somali nationalism segment of the history
For the last time leave our family discussion alone, and take your troll somewhere else. We might talk about Hiiraan and you jump in , there are local issues. Aren't you the one who keep telling us that we do not know the dynamics of what is going on in Ethiopia between Oromo, Tigray and everyone else.Do you think you know better than our history.
Without that resistance , the Somali territory would have been taken by Menelik, Haile Salasie and others. THat fierce fight by the Darwiish has discouraged every colonial entity to think twice.
Folks, history is very cruel, you nice tribe , in certain stage of the past history might have collaborated with colonial powers for few shillings. If we had a movie industry, these people will look really bad. Just accept it and move on. In some other times, your nice tribe might have done the honourable thing, so do not try to erase history because it looks bad on your group.
Some of the young guys thing the Sayid is D block and they are claiming his glory. The Fact is that certain members of the D block especially the " Reer Bari" from Puntland had fought and undermined the Darwiish movement just like those from the north. The Sayid asked them for accommodation during war and drought, and as soon as he landed the Reer Bari countryside, they ambushed and stabbed from the back. Many poems are made of that event.
The truth is there were Somali tribes who throughout the history never objected the colonial project while others have lost thousands. The Biyomaal was decimated by the Italians and after their defeat , the Italians erased them from the political discourse of the southern Somalia, but history will show that they were freedom fighters and brave.
Also, the Darawiish battles and history is recorded by the british and Aw Jaamac even used some of them for his book.
