I turn to the other point raised by the noble Lord, the expedition against the bastard tribe of Somalis called the Merehans.

More importantly, this inability to control the Marehan illustrated just how little control the colonial state exercised on the northeast frontier. This example of Somali resistance certainly would make the British think twice about imposing their dictates in the northeast for some years to come.

A guy who comes from a isbaheysi clan from 4 daddies wants to step up to my level. He tries to learn about my sub clans and my inner politics and brings fake news.

My history is recorded and known.

No fake news, it is your history that you are clearly so ashamed of.

I have told this to other boon marehans before, be proud of who you are, if your ancestors were Boni hunter gatherers, as all the academic literature points out, then you should embrace that part of your history.

And you are absolutely right, this is recorded history, read with me:

"Boon marehan correspond to the Midgan of Northern Somaliland"



"A Somali will not feed with a bon, whom he regards as of low caste. Among others may be mentioned the bon marehan, so called because they eat dead meat"



Boon marehan considered "servile" by Somalis



This explains the deep-rooted inferiority complex exhibited on Somalinet by virtually all members of the boon marehan clan, and their constant claiming of others' history in an attempt to present themselves as Somalis. They know their ancestors were of Boni origin and recently Somalised. Names like Boon Xiraabu Goita Theodorous clearly show generations of non-Somali non-Muslim abtirsi.
