I'm not that guy. Warya we're not in a university lecture talk normally.

Walal, the point I was making is, while I was aware of the discrepancy between Marehan's extent of settlement in central Somalia vs assumptions about their settlement prejudiced by geographical illusion (Marehan in central Somalia are affected by a "perception" bias due to the border cutting them in the middle), I was not aware of just the extent of this bias until even I had the fortune of finding myself more enlightened as I traveled and mapped this area

For example, the area in question concerning the aspect of Marehan settlement that was impacted by the equities outlined in this topic (at least Marehan central Somalia, not Liban, Ethiopia), I juxtapose the area in question vs the totality of Marehan settlement in that landscape of which it merely forms a part.

The area in question was a severely impacted, but limited extent of the wider inhabited space. That it became an issue is more reflective of how severely impacted it was than about a threat to the wider space.



I am of the opinion that the severity of the impact itself was possibly, if not probably, to some extent attributable to the biased perception created by the geographical illusion of the border that incorrectly or misleadingly created the "hope" that misinformed the aggressors about just what they were up against or could possibly achieve. Essentially you believe you are up against a wall, but the door opens to a sea.

As a point of former illumination to expose even a more profound context, I uprooted the geographical space from its illusory confinement of the border to unearth a reality severely prejudiced by the illusion.

From the town of Galkacyo to Dhusamareb, it is 110 miles. From the town of Beled-Weyne to the Middle Shabelle border, it is 110 miles. Obviously this is rough, but it could only be off by + or - 1 mile.

From the settlement of Fadhigaraadle in Korahe, Ethiopia (a place big enough to deserve its own district in Somali Region of Ethiopia comparatively speaking) to the settlement of Saaxo in Mudug, Somalia----a line that equally partitions Marehan territory in that landscape---again, equally---into 2 halves of a triangle, the distance is 111 miles.



And this still doesn't show extremely important Marehan centers of Somali Region, Ethiopia like Yamaarugley, Duuban, Ceel-Dheere, Baalgoray nor does it show even Balanbale district of Somalia.

It is fascinating from a geographical point of view just all the colliding spatial dynamics involved in a critical analysis of Marehan, as a subunit within the Somali people, and their equities.

Irrelevance.

Voltage is putting in extra shifts on the online propaganda war. Keep at it son! It's the only war you can to win. lmao!

Appreciate the mappings and breakdowns also the time and effort you put in great work bro
