Dani Waa Seeto by Ducaale Suldaan Guuleed "Aftaag".
Ducaale suldaan was the junior son of the first Ciidagale sultaan , he sought the sultante for 60 years and never grasped it. He lived during his father's rule , his brother Faaraxa, the son of Faarax(Xasan) and even few years into Diiriye's (son of Xasan) term in 1870, 4 sultanes in total.
When Guuleed died the legitmate inheritor of the line was the eldest son Rooble Guuleed , when Ducaale and the other protested Shermaarke Adan Cabdi and his 20 sons sided with Faarax and thus Faarax was crowned. When Faarax was killed by the Habar Yoonus the son of Rooble (Magan) attempted to reclaim his father's right the conyving Ducaale arranged his murder and even killed the 4 sons of Magan Rooble (Magan Gaabo). Magan's newly wed Ogaadeen wife fled to her kin saving the unborn 5th child of Magan Gaabo.( this son would avenge his father and borthers in a long 11 years one man war killing 20 men from Faarax/Ducaal/Sharmeerak's section, its an epic story with its own poems and stories cuurently Muuse Cali Faruur is making a video tape of the story.).
Having gotten rid of Magan and his childern at last Ducaale could claim the evasive sultantes but not quite yet. Faarax had maltitude of sons, Maxamed, Xirsi Jabane, the poet warrior Nuur Taye and the youngest 2 from his last Ogaadeen wife Hure (the great grandfather of Buubaa) and Warfaa. The later 2 were infants, the eldest was Xirsi a man in his mid 30's who broke his shoulder during a battle with the Ogaaden and never got healed , Ducaale taking advantage of Xirsi's handicap excluded him on the bases of " Suldaan Iin Le caleemo saari karo" a handicaped Sultan would not suit the position.
Finally solidfying his gains he married the widow of his brother Faarax and the mother of Nuur Taye and Maxamed , Iijo , and proclaimed himself a sultan. Despite his long crule fight for the sultantes and his exploite with the Ogaadeen , the mighty Duucaale Sultan was once seen been awakened by Iijo with her left foot, bewildered followers of the sultan wondered why, how Duucaale "Aftaag" the poet, warrior and the sultan be treated by a woman in such a manner, quipping Ducaale Aftaag said:
Dani( saldanadu) Waa Seeto.
After few years Ducaale was de-thrown, he lived to an old rip age and finally upon his death ordered his clan to put him on a horse and take him where he last battled the Ogaadeen an area between Awaare and Daroor and last be buried there , asked to the reason of his request his last words were, "Let the Daarood upon seen the grave of Ducaale Aftaag know where they belong and where their borders lay"...
Dani Waa Seeto , Ducaale Aftaag.
Ducale was the father of Nuur Dhegacun and Qawdhan Ducaale , his decendent are today a sub-clan of the reer Guuleed.
