Voltage wants you to take the same people who were petitioning the English to allow them to fight alongside them against "EVIL GERMANS" as some sort of heroes and patriots. He is quite deluded

Jubbaland Chiefs send Plea to england to join Army.
London, Nov.10- The London Times has received froma correspondent a copy of a petition signed by the principal Somali chiefs in Jubbaland, asking that they allowed to fight for England. The document is as follows:
To His Highness the Governor.Through the hakim of Jubbaland. Salaams, yea, many salaams, with god's mercy, blessing, and peace. After salaams.
We, the Somali of Jubbaland, both Herti and Ogaden, comprising all the tribes but not including the Tulamuya Ogaden who live in Biskaya and Tanaland and the Marehan, DESIRE HUMBLY to address out.
In the former days of the Somali have fought against the government. Even lately the Marehan have fought against the government. Now, we have heard that the German Government have declared a war on the English Government. Behold, our "fitna" against the English Government is finished. As the monsoon wind drives the sand hills of our coast into new forms, so does this news of Germans evil-doing drive our hearts and spears into service of the English Government. The Jubbaland Somali are with the English Government. DAILY IN OUR MOSQUES WE PRAY FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE ENGLISH ARMIES. DAY IS OUR NIGHT AND NIGHT IS OUR DAY WITH US UNTIL WE HEAR THAT THE ENGLISH ARE VICTORIOUS. GOD KNOWS THE RIGHT. HE WILL HELP THE RIGHT. We have heard the English Askaris have been sent to fight for us in Europe. HUMBLY WE ASK WHY NOT THE SOMALI FIGHT FOR ENGLAN ALSO. WE BEG THE GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW OUR WARRIORS TO SHOW THEIR LOYALTY. In former days the Somali tribes made fitna against each other. Evan now it is so: it is our custom; yet with the GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE GERMANS WE ARE AS ONE OURSELVES, OUR WARRIORS, OUR WOMEN, AND OUR CHILDREN. BY GOD IT IS SO. BY GOD IT IS SO.
A FEW DAYS AGO MANY TROOPS OF THE MILITARY LEFT THIS COUNTRY TO EAT UP GERMANS WHO HAVE INVADED OUR COUNTRY IN AFRICA. MAY GOD PROSPER THEM. YET, OH HAKIM, WITH ALL HUMBLENESS WE DESIRE TO BEG OF THE GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW OUR SONS AND WARRIORS TO TAKE PART OF THIS GREAT WAR AGAINST THE GERMAN EVIL-DOERS. THEY ARE READY. THEY ARE ANGER. GRANT THEM THE BOON. GOD AND MAHOMED IS WITH US ALL.
IF GOVERNMENT WISH TO TAKE AWAY ALL THE TROOPS AND POLICE FROM JUBBALAND, IT IS GOOD. WE PLEDGE TO ACT AS TRUE GOVERNMENT ASKARIS UNTIL THEY RETURN.
WE HUMBLY BEG THAT THIS OUR LETTER BE PLACED AT THE FEET OF OUR KING AND EMPEROR, WHO LIVES IN ENGLAND, IN TOKEN OF OUR LOYALTY AND OUR PRAYER."

That's the main point, every clan has it's share of skeletons under the closet but according to out qule freinds especially bi polar voltage, marehan is special and has never worked with the colonial regimes. When it has been proven time and time again that they too were very friendly with the british.
