Hiiraale is the only guy who never went to the Xabashi to get arms or support, he IS the patriot. Hiiraale fought with the ICU first in Bu'aale and they used outside merceneries INCLUDING Christian Eritrean support. He then went to get support also but from the TFG in BAIDOA, Hiiraale went to what we all believed was the SOMALI transitional government and it was the TFG that had Ethiopian support. Your friend's friend is just that, your friend's friend..wax idin dhaxeeyo majirto.
Later when we found out it was NOT the SOMALI transitional government but the Tigrey's Puppet government for Somalia we all left including Hiiraale and you had the near assassination attempt of his by Gheedi and Biijo.
From 1977 on, Hiiraale was the forefront of fighting for everything that the SOMALI name stands for , dont talk about legends or people who have accomplished things neither you nor your ancestors could have accomplished.
Dulmi baad raadinaysaa laba wajiilayaho....VIVA ALL THE PATRIOTIC SONS OUT THERE
