[quote="Samatr"][quote="Cilmiile"][quote="Gedo_Boy"]Sir Lug,
the author of this book didn't claim to tame these savage tribes......in fact he left having claimed unable to do anything to tame them.
anyways, Somalis are not as brave as they claim, but I think they are more insane.[/quote]
The author of the book was Irish. His tribe was tamed by the British too.
Lugooyo,
Kismaayo umaad dhalanin. Awoowgaa Dool buu ku yimi. If he wasnt brave or adventurous he never would have got there. And they were moving south. If it werent for the English most of Kenya would be muslim and somali speaking today.
The same author quoted by Gedo Boy makes the same observation. That the English halted an inexorable Somali advance.
Somalis are not as ancient as most people believe.
I have noticed the most numerous Mareexaan subclan are Reer Dalal Diini. And I have seen an old man in the seventies who told me that his grandfather actually saw Dalal Diini in the flesh.
The most numerous Ciidagale clan are Reer Guuleed. And there was a guy who died in the sixties who was a grandson of the same Guuleed(Qowdhan Ducaale Guuleed)
Habar Yoonis most numerous clan are Reer Caynaanshe. Caynaanshe's grandson Diiriye Sugule Caynaanshe was alive to see the first English colonialists at Ceeg.
The most Numerous Dhulbahante subclans Hagar and Naalleeye Axmed trace a few grandfathers to their eponymous ancestors.
The most numerous faction of Habar Jeclo are Reer Daahir. And he was alive in the late 18th century.
in the sixteen century when Somalis were fighting in the Axmed Gurey Army All Harti were grouped as one entity. They must have been too small to be set apart.[/quote]
