The Barre regime was part of the ivory trade and killed off all native elephants and rhinos of Somalia

My dad was an Ivory trader.

That's how he paid for his wedding. Small guy, I wonder how he fit the bill for an Elephant hunter though.

, Abdiwahab you tricked me. You got me good. For a while I thought you were a semi-logical poster who you could rationalize with, but boy was I wrong. Also, I didn't know that you were a "Hit and run" poster, who will throw darts, and then cut and run when hard evidence laced rebuttles are made. From this point on, I won't even attempt to engage in any mature level headed discussions with you.

[AbdiWahab252]

Luq,

The facts hurt.

Anywayz, don't take things personally.


Look at PAIDMONK, we insult each other in politics but neither of us get offended or emotional.

I heard it was because of his involvement in this trade that he wasn't allowed to stay in Kenya.

ICan,

That along with the unpopular sentiment of the Kenyan Somalis especially the Degodiye.

[AbdiWahab252]

Cabdallah,

Elephants used to be numerous especially at the Gobwein National Park.

Then the Barre governtment killed them all

"Especially the Degodie" kulaha. Saaxib I think you've had a bit too much of Adeer Osman Atto's blunts.

[AbdiWahab252]

LuqGanane,

All I know is your Siyaad was forced to leave quickly after failing to recapture Xamar even with the support of the Kenyan government.

Degodiye are very influential in Kenya. The Ogaden at the time were also ProSPM.

4) entire Jamhuuriyada people barried before 1910
5) ...and your own man...Mr. Caydiid compound barrier.


Your people are in search of dead bones mister....hence you are from a tribe that have no respect for the dead, but are in search of dead-bone-treasure
