Cumar Samatar's rebellion that began with the murder of Capitano Carolei at Ceelbuur was so succesful that the Italians were considering restoring Suldaan Cali Yuusuf to his throne at Hobyo. Until they hit on the brilliant plan of using Habar Gidir resentment against the Royal Family

Cilmiile,
You conveniently forget the Northeastern clansmen that were as well used to fight their own brothers and cousins. Do not twist history. HG, Murasade and Waceysle Abgaal were only armed by the Italians, in which the playing field was levelled since the Northeastern chief in Hobyo signed off Somali lands to Italy as protactrate as the FIRST SOMALI MAN just to receive petty money and some weapons in order to expand into Hawiye lands southwards.
Ofcourse, what goes around comes around, as he himself was defeated by the ones he invited in order to get petty money and weapons.
At the end of the day, we can understand why Hawiye subclans would fight the Northeastern rebellion, but what I fail to understand is the immense hate present between Northeastern groups which resulted in the shamefull situation were some of these groups were fighting on the SIDE OF THE ITALIANS, against their OWN BROTHERS AND COUSINS![]()

They should've said Ethiopians out within 120 days, no matter what.
This is bullshit since when do u have to negotiate a foreign army to leave ur lands.

Dont come here with your distorted history because we are familiar with the factual history.
The Northeastern chief INVITED the Italians and placed his land and people under the protectorate of Italy at a time Italians were frustrated in their colonial ambitions in East Africa. In this, the Northeastern chief in Hobyo and his kin in Bari were instrumental to bring the Italians and open the door for the consequent colonisation of Somalia.
And he never controlled Benadir, the fartest expansion southwards was around Mareeg, in which he tried to go to Warsheeikh but never made it that far. At the end what goes around comes around, he and his kin were humiliated by the Fascist Italians.
The only groups that put up genuine resistance against the Italians from day 1 to the end were the Benadiri groups like Wacdaan and Biyamaal and some Geledi tribesmen.
