Coloow Posted January 18, 2004 Lakkad, as a neo-shiftist, I found the article to have a colonial perspective on the "war of independence". But it failed to reveal, how the madaxkorankor were given a lesson by the freedom fighters. An uncle once told me that he participated in the shifta war in 1967- and during one of the battles, they captured 8 soldiers from the madax cambuulo brigade. I witnessed as a young boy growing up in the eighties how the adoon army came to mandera and wajir districts, and carried out barbaric acts against somalis. In the 80:s they gave weapons to all the sub clans to fight each other. BTW, on a recent visit to kenya, I was accused of belonging to a neo-shifta movement (which I don't deny) and was held three days under house arrest. p.s visit waqooyibari.com and leave your two cents on NFD saaxib. Look at some of the articles (not the forum) that are posted there- you may find an acquintance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
