In all seriousness, the tragedy of Somalis is our small-mindedness. Men like Axmed Gurey, Sayidka, Sheikh Barsane and Nasiib Buundo fought in the name of Islam or in the name of their Somalis and fought against common. And history shows and no one Maryooley can deny, the armies they commanded hail from all Somalis. We can question their methods but their goals were clear. Their history is Somali history!

Eebboow heybada ha naga qaadin.

More fitting is that madaxweyne Farmaajo's official presidential potrait hangs on the wall right above the secessionist's head. Someone deliberately cropped it out.

Suldaanka every one knows the Italians and the Portuguese and Spaniards are considerd tumaalaha yurub. In comparison to the Nordic and Anglo saxion. Che knows this to deep inside.

Adeer, I do take with grain of salt in any copy pasted books which everyone can falsify these days. I have also seen books and documents that I read ten years ago appearing in the internet with totally falsified pages while deleting the original. didn't I say while ago that you are a master on these tricks. I can assure you that in official records there is no such thing as Habar Magada with any connections in Zaylac , Harar or the Adal wars that stretched from 1500-1600. The Magaado are hawd people whose land is west of Hargeisa to Sanaag mountains. These wars took place between Zaylac, Harar, Diredhabe Afar zone and reached south of Lake Tana in Coffa. Why would somebody whose home is Togdheer , Sanaag and Saaxil, and reaching Ceelka Hargeisa for the last 300 years or so, would associate themselves with what was taking place in the Zaylac coast and Harar ? In the Adal wars, The Somalis were aided by other Muslims like the Afar, ottoman Hararis, and other ethnics. We have known about Ahmed Gurey not because I. M Lewis wrote in 1980, but, it was passed to us by generations of people throughout the ages. Walaahi I knew who he was when I was a child 40 years ago. We even knew which sub clan of Awdalite he was. He is Abrayn, Maxamed Case, from Zaylac coast where his brethren still today. Neither You not others quoting foreigners will change our mind. You know the distance between Burco and Zaylac. Ahmed Gurey is a son of Adal Sultanate. I have seen other Somalis claiming as one of their, but never heard about the Hargeisa and Togdheer Habro claim him. If that is the case, Why not claim the Adal Sultanate to be yours?. Wakhti ha iska lumnin Axmed Guray waa la yaqaanaa oo haddi aad u baahato aftirsiimadiisa yaan kuu soo raadin.
