Guhad-

It is understandable to see you so emotional considering this is a sensitive topic for you.

Voltage,
Did you work behind the scenes to have my post with the Dhoodaan gabay deleted? Unfortunately that gabay is all over the place. So since you claim your ancestors were from Wardheer, why do you care about Somali affairs and who is Somali and who is not. And honestly, I would have loved the OG in Ogadenia or as they call them in Jubaland the Galti to leave Jubaland affairs for the natives but in Somali culture, clan determines everything including your identity, and nationality. So there is nothing to be emotional about this.

GALTI DEPREDATIONS

I would much prefer to inhabit a hut of this descrip-
tion than a house of European design.

It was not long after my arrival that I realised I
should have to go farther afield than Kismayu to
obtain my camels, for all available ones had long been
snapped up by the authorities for the transport of
supplies to Sarrenleh, a military post on the upper
Juba River. For 800 men of the King's African
Rifles were stationed there under eleven white officers
to patrol the north-eastern corner of Jubaland. This
was rendered necessary owing to the turbulence of
the Galti tribe of the Marehan Somali, who had but
lately entered British territory, having migrated from
southern Somaliland. True stock raiders, as all
Somali are at heart, they had caused much trouble by
practising their favourite pastime on friendly tribes,
who appealed to the Government for help, and it was
in answer to this request that a patrol had been
despatched to restore order and put a stop to the
looting of cattle. The presence of a small army
naturally checked the depredations to some extent,
but such is the character of the Somali, that unless
the Galti are given a thorough lesson in discipline the
next time they are caught transgressing, they will
immediately begin looting again with renewed energy
as soon as the force is withdrawn.

Now that you mention galti.

Guhad-

The term "Galti" is copyrighted by Marehan since they are the only real successive pioneers in Jubbaland. In reality, they monopolized the term. Of the Ogaden in the land, due to the pan-Somali policy, the 60's government moved almost all the Mohamed Subeer in from Garissa to Afmadoow area and the rest brought by the Siad government. They never had a successive conquering wave.

Where they teach you that at Masalani Primary School?
