My points have been clear and concise. I don't resort to concocting lies just to suit my ego like the downtrodden Xplaya while the reason I quote those Europeans is to prove a second hand expert testimony or someone who is neither Somali nor African telling which clan has rich history and is superior to all other clans.
I very much doubt that Rigby has said unfavorable remarks of Mijjerthein. I don't even think that he has reports on Somalia. Cruttenden does not even note that author. Otherwise, you should give us a proof.
Cruttenden was preceded in this reconnassaince by Lieut Barker. They were the first two British authors to have set their footsteps in Somalia. Authors who visited this region, John Hanning Speke, Charles Guillain, and Cruttenden. And they all have reports on the superiority of Warsangeli over all the tribes of Somalis, not only the mere Iidoor, whose Berbera I conducted negotiation with Germany right after Egypt evacuated the place due to the Mahdist revolt. Britain, having heard of the news, rushed and concluded treaties with all clans to prevent Germany from taking these lands as one of its colonies, under the Indirect rule of Warsangeli.
You of all Iidoor , Habar Garxajis, have no history and I swear that a sub clan of Dubbeiss can smoke the hell out of your folks. We occupy the most strategic, the most riverine, the most fertile region of the whole North, From Erigavo to Bossasso to several settlements of the South.
Xplaya, It is not in my dignity to exchange with a person who is firstly atheist, and secondly born of the most despised clan of the North both historically and present.

MAKHIR COAST (19th century Commercial center in Warsangeli Country)
From the Journal "Quarterly Notes" and by Henry Swanzy synopsizes the economic development of regions in Africa. Below is an example of Makhir Coast region and vicinities. Excerpts from
From their connection with the Ethiopian hinterland, their proximity to Arabia, and their export of precious gums, ostrich feathers, ghee (clarified butter), and other animal produce as well as slaves from farther inland, the northern and eastern Somali coasts have for centuries been open to the outside world. This area probably formed part of Punt, “the land of aromatics and incense,” mentioned in ancient Egyptian writings. Between the 7th and 10th centuries, immigrant Muslim Arabs and Persians developed a series of trading posts along the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean coasts. Many of the early Arab geographers mentioned these trading posts and the sultanates that grew out of them, but they rarely described the interior of the country in detail.
Intensive exploration really began only after the occupation of Aden by the British in 1839 and the ensuing scramble for Somali possessions by Britain, France, and Italy (see below The imperial partition). In 1854, while Richard Burton was exploring the country to the northwest in the course of his famous journey from Berbera to Harer, his colleague John Hanning Speke was making his way along the Makhir Coast in the northeast. This region had previously been visited by Charles Guillain, captain of the brig Ducouedid, between 1846 and 1848.
News of the Somaliland comes from Berbera and Makhir coast than Mogadishu. Thus, the Protectorate Council had draft legislation placed before it for the first time this summer, in preparation for Legislative Council. The new governor, Pike, has already clashed with Somali Youth League, which protested against Agricultural schemes in the Medishe Valley. There is little economic news beyond a bad locust season, and bad season for the Makhir coast, where a dearth of tunny has caused the Elaya cunning factory to close down for a time."
I AM OUT.
CILMIILE, You are correct most of the points and notes you made on the Mijerteein as far the south, except the Darbadaaley war. The peom by Aw Muuse is a testimony to Warsangeli's victory .
