no Basra, back at that time before Marehans moved to Muqdisho, Jubbaland, and majority to Gedo from GAALKACYO to DHUUSAMAREB was called "Ximan Mareexaan" ask Abdi-hutu. the first man who built a stone house in Gaalkacyo was the Salaad of your REER DALAL Nabadoon Budhuk. majeerteen were on guard from us near garowe and the habar gider did not pass 5 kilometers from the coast. everythin else was ours but we gave it up for the luch green JUBBALAND.
BALLI means both of those descriptions..it means "meel lagu nacawsada" and it can be both a pond you get relieve from the desert or a house you get shelter from the sun.
