Why do Darood

Postby Khalid Ali » Wed Jan 08, 2014 8:11 pm

Call their leaders Aaabo or Father
I used to Think it was something just exclusively for former Kacaan regime but i also see people calling Faroole aabo.
I dont see Isaaq and hawiye Somalis or even other Somalis calling their leaders Aaabo?

aabo also has an oromo meaning... Daarood are originally Oromos maybe they are harking back to their roots.

Don't look to much into it. It is just a term of respect.

Darood are not the only people who call their leaders "fathers" either. Americans call their most respected leader and politicians fathers. Ever heard of "the founding fathers?"

I guess the stress of Gass becoming president is depressing your intelligence. Oromo are our cousins so how can one be dissed about being related to them.
Eydoor your jokes do not make sense, maybe you need to articulate yourself better Ina Bucayr Bucar, yeah your roots.

I have never heard of Father Obama or Father Clinton nor Father Bush, but I have heard father afweyne and father faroole....

Kind of kills your point. Simply put your comparing apples to oranges...

I remember arguing with Adil about why they call MSB Aaabo.And he said that's a title
I was laughing at him ileen run buu sheegayey.Waxaan ku idhi the only person with that tittle for us is the one that begat us

he was their only hope... which is the reason why he was referred to as 'Aabo'. Unfortunately they woke up one day realising that Aabo was missing only to find out he fleed and spent his last moment in a Nigerian toilet than be at the side of his 'children'.....

that's a great dad alright :lol: looking at his children's interest only to abandon them. :lol: :up:

They stopped loving Aabo when his wallet (central bank) collapsed and they ran from him.
