1. If you claim to settle in Dollo or Doollo, you have to know the famous seven wells that encompass the name Doollo. These are Afyaraado, Garloogube, Ubataale, Waaf-Dhuug, Walwaal, Wardheer and Yucub. All of these wells are Degal Makaahiil. Doollo was also known for hosting one of the biggest Dervish bases. Many people believe Ogaden supported Dervish movement, and that is far from the reality. Only Makaahiil and Bahgeri were the two biggest OG dervish members. They lost so much for the struggle.
2. Being the capital, the most populous city, and the most famous city of the entire DDS, Wardheer and Doollo in general is blessed with plenty of water and beautiful grazing lands. Prior to the Tigree administration, Doollo was known as Warheer and its surrounding famous wells.
3. Geladi was not even part of the Doollo region. The Meles and Ileey administration came up with the idea of expanding Dollo to include Geladi in order to collectively punish the Makaahiil. Before Meles and even during the cruel DERG administration, almost all the governors of the region were Makaahiil. Suldaan Cali Saafi, who was Abraahiim, was the longest serving governor.
4.I see many of our Dhabayaco folks creating phony maps that claim Danood and Daratoole are not Makaahiil. That is preposterous. Nin aan nabad iyo xidid ku imaanin dhulkaas ma imaan karo. Walee waa yaab, sheekadii Kismaayo ayay meesha keeneen. War hooy ka jooga. Maxamed Cumar Dagge yuusan idin maqlin. Waxba isma bedalin.
Ogaadeen Danood iyo Dig iyo, durugsay ceelkii dhe
Iidoor dalaalsimo kawaa, Doolo iyo Ciid dhe
Daratoole iyo Faafan baa, daakhilkii yahay dhe
Deegaanta Iligeedne waa, dagal Makaahiil dhe
Deris nimaan kujooginina waa, daaqi Xodayood dhe
5. Galxumur and Bookh were Cabdi-Ileey project again to punish Makaahiil and reduce their influence. Neither of those deserves to be a district. Remember that Makaahiil is synonymous with ONLF. In 1993, when Sheekh Cabdallae, one of the greatest ONLF leaders, fled from Qabridahar and Godey, and came to Wardher on his way to flee the country, the local Makaahiils told him “Dude you aint going nowhere, this is your country”. Over 81 Makaahiils lost their lives in that infamous Wardher battle against the federal Meles regime forces who tried to capture the leader. Now you can see why our region, of all the sudden, is like a biatch everyone wants to grab a piece. We lost so much because of our dedication to the cause and ONLF.
6. Danod, Shilaabo, Caabud-Waaq, and the border of Qoraxeey all average about 100 KM from Wardheer. If you look at this map, you can see that the Harti land starts from Gelaadi and yes sometimes you can go all the way to near Wardher for Daaqsin, but they doesn’t mean you can claim anything beyond Gelaadi. This map is actually from the Human Rights Watch who have lots of information including live satellite images and you can see how they specifically pointed out the Harti territories in Doollo.

7. Final word for my Harti folks, we actually do not mind you to live with us and share resources. If you look back my history on Somalinet for the last 13 years, you would notice that I have always championed for Harti presence in Waamo. When most OGs wanted all Hartis out, I reminded them that these folks are natives just like us. I call it when I see it. However, and unfortunately, you have miserably failed the issue of Doollo. I remember when this Reer Biciid Yahan person was named as the governor, a sub clan of Makaahiil, Gumcalde called Ismaaciil Gumcalde demonstrated against his appointment. Their grief centered two issues; one they did not get any ministerial seats in the DDS government and their governor was replaced with Reer Biciid yahan person, and second, the dude was Ileey hardcore Heego member. What happened next become a lesson for us. Being true their sensationalism personality, the Dhabayoco around the world started a campaign against Madoobe, Cagjar, and even the powerful OGs in NFD. Moreover, notice how I have completely ignored the Caabud-Waaq crew, and the reason is they are irrelevant in Doollo affairs. They settle view villages along the border near Caabud-Waaq and we have no issues with that. If I were to be too generous on Harti presence in Doollo, I would put their percentage at 10% at most. I would say the other non-Makaahiil natives of Doollo to be about 5%. So you have about 15% of non Makaahiil in Doollo.
