I am sure I'm not the only one


Come on out and learn something new today


It means civil war So Dagaalka sokeye ee Mareykanka is the American civil war, which as you know, wasn't so recent


Still don't understand why they use the word sokeeye though

Sokeeya = cidda adiga ku xigta

It means its internal and not foreign. Cool fact though.

My understanding of that term sokeeye doesn't necessarily mean recently but rather between people of same clan.

like the 91 in somaliland.

I doubt the kalshaale and khatumo will be called sokeeye.

but I could be wrong

lol sokeeye doesn't mean close as in proximity or recent. Sokeeye yacni same countrymen or nationality.

It means war between kin

Sokeeye iyo shisheeye never heard of that term?

Sokeeye= Relatives/Kin

Shisheeye= Foreign/Outsiders

The term is reer waqooyi and never heard of southerners use it.

they always refer to their dagaal sokeeye as the 4 months war. Dagaalki afarta bilood.

Well logic dictates that if Shisheeye means foreigner, Sokeeye means fellow countryman.

The term is reer waqooyi and never heard of southerners use it.

No all dagaal that took place after 91 are generally called dagaaladii sokeeye, and since there were many, each has it is own name, like dagaalki 4ta bilood, then Xadka iyo xawaaraha etc etc.

The term is reer waqooyi and never heard of southerners use it.

Sokeeye is a standard Somali word used in pretty much all Somali regions. Not exclusive to Waqooyi.

Look at all these old people killing my thread, this was supposed to be an educational thread for the dhaqancelis where I am the wise, learned one





I know shisheeye, but I though sokeeye was a distance thing which now when I think about it makes sense that it would mean close kin

it means two unrelated factions fighting

no exclusive to waqooyi but like I said...I never heard of southerners use the term.

Sokeeye is not exclusively used by reer waqooyi nor did it originate there. stop trollin
