  9. Omar Samatar's Rebellion 1925 Though victorious against the sultan's forces, the populace had yet to accept Italian rule without a fight. Commissioner Trivulzio, assigned with administering Hobyo, reported movement of armed men towards the borders of the sultanate before the annexation and afterwards. As preparations were underway to continue the Corpo Zaptié's advance into **********, a new threat emerged. One of Sultan Ali Yusuf's commanders, Omar Samatar, attacked and captured El-Bur on the 9th of November. The local populace sided with Omar, and soon enough the Italians had a full scale revolution on their hands after Omar followed up his previous success with the capture of El-Dhere. The Corpo Zaptié tried and failed to recapture El-Bur from Omar. By the 15th of November the Italians had fled to Bud Bud, ambushed by partisans the whole way and rather diminished in forces and resolve. A third attempt was planned, but before it could be executed the commander of the operation, Lieutenant-Colonel Splendorelli, was ambushed and killed between Bud Bud and Bula Barde. Italian morale hit rock bottom, and Hobyo seemed a lost cause as Omar stood poised to reconquer Hobyo itself. In an attempt to salvage the situation, governor De Vecchi requested two battalions from Eritrea and assumed personal command. The rebellion soon spilled over the borders into the Benadir and Western Somaliland, and Omar grew increasingly powerful. The disaster in Hobyo shocked Italian policymakers in Rome. It was the Adwa fiasco of the Abyssinian War all over again, and Italy's plans for East Africa were unraveling before their very eyes. Blame soon fell on Governor De Vecchi, who's perceived incompetence was blamed for Omar's rise. Rome instructed De Vecchi that he was to receive the reinforcement from Eritrea, but that the commander of the Eritrean battalions was to assume the military command and De Vecchi was confined to Mogadishu and limited to an administrative role. The commander was to report directly to Rome, bypassing De Vecchi entirely. continues
  10. Sayid Abdullah Hassan born April 7, 1864, Somalia, died December 21, 1920 in Imi, Ethiopia) was Somalia's religious and nationalist leader (called the "Mad Mullah" by the British, although he was neither mad nor a mullah) who for 20 years led armed resistance to the British, Italian, and Ethiopian forces in Somalia. continues Sayid's letter to the British: - I wish to rule my own country and protect my own religion. If you will, send me a letter saying whether there is to be peace or war. I intend to go from Burao to Berbera I warn you of this - I wish to fight with you. I like war, but you do not. God willing, I will take many rifles from you, but you will get no rifles or ammunition from me.If you want wood and stone, you can get them in plenty. There are also many ant-heaps. The sun is very hot. All you can get from me is war - nothing else. I have met your men in battle, and have killed them. We are greatly pleased at this. Our men who have fallen in battle have won paradise. God fights for us. We kill, and you kill. We fight by God's order. That is the truth. We ask for God's blessing. God is with me when I write this. If you wish for war, I am happy; and, if you wish for peace, I am content also. But if you wish for peace, go Solvay from my country back to your own. If you wish for war, stay where you are. Hearken to my words. I wish to exchange a machine gun for ammunition. If you do not want it, I will sell it to some one else. bend me a letter saying whether you desire war or peace more info FORT TALEX Shaikh Muhammad Ibn 'Abdillaah As-Sumaale Shaikh Muhammad Ibn 'Abdillaah As-Sumaalee was born at the beginning of this (20th) century, around 1910 or so. This is because the Shaikh remembers seeing the Somali Mujaahid known as Sayyid Muhammad 'Abdullaah, and he was a little older by then. And Sayyid Muhammad died in the year 1920. continues
  11. Gerad Sultanate The Sultanate was an imperial power centered around the borders of the North East of British Somaliland and some parts of South East of Italian Somaliland. It was one of the largest Sultanates in Somalia, and, at the height of its power, it included the Sanaag region, parts of North East of Bari region. It was established by a tribe in North of Somalia and ruled by the descendents of the Gerad Dhidhin. Gerad Dhidhin (1298–1311) Gerad Hamar Gale(1311–1328) Gerad Ibrahim (1328–1340) Gerad Omer (1340–1355) Gerad Mohamud (1355–1375) Gerad Ciise (1375–1392) Gerad Siciid (1392–1409) Gerad Ahmed (1409–1430) Gerad Siciid (1430–1450) Gerad Mohamud (1450–1479) Gerad Ciise (1479–1491) Gerad Ali dable (1491–1503) Gerad Liban (1503–1525) Garad Yuusuf (1525–1555) Garad Mohamud (1555–1585) Garad Abdale (1585–1612) Garad Ali (1612–1655) Gerad Mohamud (1655–1675) Garad Naleye (1675–1705) Garad Mohamed (1705–1750) Gerad Ali (1750–1789) Gerad Mohamud Ali (1789–1830) Gerad Aul (1830-1870) Gerad Ali Shire (1870–1897) Sultan Mohamud Ali Shire (1897–1960) In 1896, internal conflict amongst clans led to the coming of a new Sultan: Mohamoud Ali Shire However, a clan withdrew their loyalty and support from the new Sultan and decided to join Sayyid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan and his Dervish army. Robert L. Hess's article, "The 'Mad Mullah' (the Sayyid) and Northern Somalia," cites this alliance: "In attempt to break out of Obbian circle, the Mullah (Sayyid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan) sought closer alliances with the clans of British Somaliland and of Ethiopia." (Hess, 423) continues Shaykh Uways bin Muhammad the largest brotherhood in Tanzania is Qadirriyya wich is divided in many independent branches. the origin of this order is connected to the somali sheikh Uways bin muhammad who having been invited by the sultan arrived in Zanzibar in 1880's. Shehu Awesu as sheik Uways was called in Swahilli paid several lengthy visits to Zanzibar and initiated many disciples into his order who afterwards spread the order to the mainland and as far as Congo area - by abdulaziz Y. lohdi and David westerlund Blood rivalry Farther east on the Bari coast, by the middle of the nineteenth century two tiny kingdoms emerged that would play a significant political role on the Somali Peninsula prior to colonization. These were the Sultanate of Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud, and that of his kinsman Sultan Yuusuf Ali Keenadiid of Hobyo (Obbia). The Sultanate originated in the mid eighteenth century, but only came into its own in the nineteenth century with the reign of the resourceful Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud. Ismaan Mahamuud's kingdom benefited from British subsidies (for protecting the British naval crews that were shipwrecked periodically on the Somali coast) and from a liberal trade policy that facilitated a flourishing commerce in livestock, ostrich feathers, and gum arabic. While acknowledging a vague vassalage to the British, the sultan kept his desert kingdom free until well after 1900 Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud's sultanate was nearly destroyed in the middle of the nineteenth century by a power struggle between him and his young, ambitious cousin, Keenadiid. Nearly five years of destructive civil war passed before Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud managed to stave off the challenge of the young upstart, who was finally driven into exile in Arabia. A decade later, in the 1870s, Keenadiid returned from Arabia with a score of Hadhrami musketeers and a band of devoted lieutenants. With their help, he carved out the small kingdom of Hobyo after conquering the local clans. Both kingdoms, however, were gradually absorbed by the extension into southern Somalia of Italian colonial rule in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. continues
  12. on the other side of east africa there was the.. A-J-U-U-R-A-A-N KINGDOM 1400/1780 Hobyo the ancient port of Somalia was the commercial centre of the A-j-u-u-r-a-a-n Sultanate, based in Qalafo . All the commercial goods grown or harvested along the Shabelle river were brought to Hobyo to trade, as Hobyo remained the active mercantile pitstop of ancient times. The A-j-u-u-r-a-a-n rulers collected their tribute from the town in the form of sorghum (durra), and the port of Hobyo was incredibly profitable for the A-j-u-u-r-a-a-n sultans. Hobyo's A-j-u-u-r-a-a-n rulers were allies of the Mogadishu Sultanate, and trade between Hobyo and the Banaadir coast flourished for some time. So vital was Hobyo to the prosperity of the A-j-u-u-r-a-a-n Sultanate that when a clan successfully revolted against the A-j-u-u-r-a-a-n and established an independent Imamate of the Hiraab , the power of the A-j-u-u-r-a-a-n sultans crumbled within a century, not much is known about this mysterious powerfull kingdom that Controlled large parts of East africa from the 14th century till the late 17th century

  14. MOGADISHU KINGDOM 900/1750 AD RULERS First Sultan of the Mogadishu Kingdom was =Sultan Umar father of Abu bakr =Sultan Abu Bakr =Sultan Ahmad I =Sultan Muhammad I =Sultan Ahmad II =Sultan Mahmud =Sultan Ali =Sultan Uthman =Sultan Muhammad II =Sultan Ahmad III Ibn Battuta We traveled by sea for fifteen nights and arrived at Mogadishu. It is a town endless in its size. Its people have many camels, of which they slaughter hundreds every day, and they have many sheep. Its people are powerful merchants. In it are manufactured the clothes named after the city, which have no rival, and which are transported as far as Egypt and elsewhere One of the customs of the people of the city is that when a ship arrives at anchorage, the small boats come out to it. In every boat is a group of young people of the town, andeach of these brings a covered dish with food in it. He offers it to one of the merchants ofthe ship and says, "This is my guest." Each one of these people does this similarly.When a merchant debarks from the ship, he goes only to the house of his host - the young person. But a man who has frequented the town a good deal and knows the people can lodge where he wishes. When he lodges with his host, the host buys his goods and sells them for him. They agree on the prices before the sales. This custom is very profitable When the young people came out to the ship I was on, one of them came to me. My companion told them, "This is not a merchant, but a faqih" (lawyer). So the young manshouted to the others, saying, "This is a guest of the Qadi " (Judge). The Qadi came to the shore with some of his students, and sent one of the students out to get me. Idisembarked and came ashore and saluted the Qadi and his company. He said, "In thename of God, let us go and greet the Sultan." I said I would go with them after I hadfound my lodgings. He replied: "It is the custom that when a faqih or a man of religioncomes, he does not lodge until he has met the Sultan." So I went with them as herequested We went to that house, which is very near the Sultan's house, and found it had everything we needed. They brought us food from the Sultan's house, and we ate. Their food is rice cooked with ghee, placed on a large wooden dish. On top they put relishes of chicken,meat, fish, and vegetables. They cook green bananas in fresh milk and serve it separately, and they also cook sour milk with pickled lemons and peppers, with vinegar and salt, green ginger, and mangoes. One of the people of Mogadishu eats as much as a group of us would. Thus they are large of body and fat.On Friday they brought me a suit of their clothing - a silk wrapping instead of my trousers - for they do not wear trousers here. Also, a shirt made of fine linen, a coat ofthe Jerusalem style, and an embroidered turban from Egypt. We went to the Grand Mosque to pray. When the sheikh came out, I greeted him. He said to me, in Arabic "You are most welcome. You have honored our country and given us pleasure.'' In 1342 AD the Arab traveler Ibn Battuta met in an Indian port a man from Mogadishu who had been in China. His name was Sa’id. There is no indication he had been there on business, but we do know he was a devout Moslem and an Islamic doctor of law. Kiblui Khan the Mongol Emperor of China and the grandson of Ghengis Khan heard of the trading Empire in Mogadishu and send an envoy to establish trade links and to negotiate a release of an earlier envoy that was send by the Emperor and held captive in Mogadishu -China's encounter with africa Zheng He the muslim admiral 14th century AD When the Chinese reached the east coast of Africa, they found people who built houses of brick. "Men and women wear their hair in rolls; when they go out they wear a linen hood. There are deep wells worked by means of cog wheels. Fish are caught in the sea with nets." The Africans offered such goods a "dragon saliva, incense, and golden amber." The Chinese found the African animals even more amazing. There included "lion, gold-spotted leopards, and camel-birds (ostriches), which are six or seven feet tall." The most exciting thing that Zheng He ever brought back to the emperor’s count was a giraffe. The animal came from today's Somalia. In the Somali Language, the name for giraffe (girrin) sounds similar to the Chinese word for unicorn(chi'lin). It was easy to imagine that this was the legendary animal that had played an important part in the birth of Confucius. Surely, it must be a sign of Heaven's favor on the emperor's reign. When the giraffe arrived in 1415, the emperor himself went to the palace gate to receive it, as well as a "celestial horse" (zebra) and a "celestial stag" (oryx). The palace officials offered congratulations and performed the kowtow before the heavenly animals. Chinese coins from the Song and Ming dynasties found in Somalia Mogadishu also minted it's own coins for trade

  16. 9000 BC Laas Gaa'l or Laas Gaal (Somali Laas Gaal) is a complex of caves in Somalia/Somaliland famous for its recent discovery of cave paintings. The caves are located near Hargeisa in an area called Laas Gaa'l. The cave paintings were named after the area when it was discovered. They contain some of the earliest known art in the Horn of Africa and the African continent in general, dating back to somewhere between 8,000 and 9,000 BC. Cave paintings The cave paintings are the most significant Neolithic rock art in the whole of Africa. The cave paintings were recently discovered by local Somali men at Laas Gaa'l' an area outside the city of Hargeisa. Even under scorching sun and the past wars that occurred in the region, the paintings are still intact. The paintings have strong, vibrant colours and stark outlines. The paintings show the ancient civilizations that once lived in the region worshipping cattle.

  19. The Story of Arrawello Arrawelo grew up like every other somali girl in her village helping her mother out with cleaning and cooking, she was a bright young girl who had a hunger for greatness she was a girl who didn't like the male dominated community she was living in and swore one day she would change it! she became a beautifull young lady and every male in the village was at least once turned down by Arrawello, her father knowing the price men would give for his blessed with beauty daughter forced her to marry a well known man, arrawelo resisted with everything she had but eventually had to go with her father's decision there was a big celebration in the village for the couple and they married,Arrawelo's husband was a commander of an army, this was one of the reasons why her father forced her to marry him the young commander was a kind man and treated arrawelo very well and as time passed by she was began to love him, they had a child together a little girl arrawelo never felt happier in her life she had everything she dreamed off, a kind husband and a beautifull child then one day the village was attacked by outside tribes from a different village ,her husband who was sent to protect the village died defending it the villagers were happy that they managed to repulse the attack and celebrated but arrawelo's life was torn to pieces and she cried from sunset to sunrise nobody could ease her pain her mother took her daughter and said she would return her when she felt better, arrawelo stayed in her house refusing to see any villagers days became weeks, weeks became months, months became years she became deluded and began to hate her perished husband for leaving her, At night she would scream ''why O' why did you leave me why did you have to go out of my life'' she began to hate everything about men and remembered all the hate she felt as a child for the other gender then one day the soldiers of her late husband stood in front of her house,these soldiers were loyal to their perished leader and swore they would show the same loyalty to his wife arrawelo at first said no, but after thinking about the great potential of all that power her answer was yes she stood up and began to march to the house of elders and the whole army marched behind her you could hear their footsteps like thunder from a far every villager would come out of their houses confused by the sound arrawelo stood in front of the elders house and ordered 10 soldiers to take it over she felt great hate for this house cause her husband was ordered by the elders to fight in the battle in wich he died after taking control of the whole town arrawelo ordered her men to collect all the spears and knives they could find she let the whole army know about her plan to take over the rival village next to them who for the last two generations had killed many people from this village the whole army bowed down and showed their loyalty, the army marched to the next village and destroyed everything in their path it was a great victory for arrawelo's army arrawelo was crowned Empress and began expanding her empire after 5 yrs she had conquered every town and city in Somalia she became very ruthless and ordered all men to stay at home and do the cooking and cleaning At one stage, she ordered that any boy born in any family in the kingdom had to be castrated so that he may not be able to procreate. this continued for a generation In due course her daughter grew up, got married and gave birth to a son. Empress Arrawelo wanted her daughter's son to be killed. Her daughter prayed to her to let him live till the time he could sit. Arrawelo agreed to her request. In about a year, when the baby could sit easily, the Empress wanted him to be killed. Her daughter requested her to let him live till he could stand. This request was also granted. Then the daughter requested her to postpone his killing till he could walk. Then she requested his killing to be postponed till he could talk. Later on she requested her to let him help her in collecting water, fuel and food etc. which were necessary for her being a mother, till he came of age at 18. Out of her fondness for her daughter, the Empress agreed to this request also. In the meanwhile, the daughter secretly trained her adolescent son to defend himself. Then a severe drought took place. All the wells dried up. One day all the people came with their animals to an important well, which had plenty of water for men and animals. But Arrawelo ordered that nobody could take even a drop of water till she had completed her bath. A big leather tub was brought. People started drawing out water from the well and pouring it in the Empress' bath tub. They let her bathe throughout the day, but she did not finish her bath. The people were getting tired and restless due to the sun, thirst and labour, but she kept saying again and again: "This particular finger has not yet been cleaned, that one has not yet been cleaned." People suffered the torture mutely. But the Empress' eighteen year old grand son (daughter's son) could no longer bear this cruelty, hatred and hypocrisy of Arrawelo. He became very angry and attacked all the soldiers that faced him he then struck arrawello with his spear and killed her. When she was alive, she used to speak and shout like men, but when her grand-son struck her she cried out "Ba'aayee" the villagers shocked that the ruthless Empress could feel pain after all those years of oppression they were happy and celebrated her Grand son took over the throne and ruled the Kingdom
