I think you completely missed the point of my "response" to Sinister.
But let me respond to one things;
I genuinely asked my uncle tonight on the supposed war between Cumar Maxamuud and MX over Dhudhub, and he told me it was never a serious contention engaged by my clan, after MX were sent packing out of Galkacyo, it was enough you retreated South-West to Dhudhib, at best it was a half-hearted attempt at expansion by some minor reers, and peace was quickly brokered, I don't see how this speaks to your alleged victory over us.
I never said Marehan "took" Dhudub from Majerteen like through an act of aggression. My reference was to civil war defensive tactics of Omar Mohamud and Wagardhac because of the incredible pressure brought to bear by, I say again, 1 in 1000 year chances of the sort of grand Somali-ethnicity wide alliances put together by late Gen Aidid in 1993 on 1 said and "Darod" on another---except not even directly affecting all Darod or even all of Majerten. Even Marehan, it was primarily Wagardhac and Majerteen it was primarily Omar Mohamud affected in southwestern Mudug, although as a wider point all Marehan Mudug and many other Majerten subs like Rer Mohamud and Rer Bicidyahan were affected.
So Wagardhac retreated southwest closer to Abudwaq and Omar Mohamud north from southwestern Mudug.
Marehan and Omar Mohamud do not even have a long or even relevant history of aggression or belligerence between them.
The latitude of Dhudub was always the "melting pot" or "mixing pot" (which I use appropriately in favor of boundary and faultline). Majerten had no settlement south of Dhudub and Marehan north of Dhudub---so there was no tension or reasons for conflict. From that latitude we both went west to Hawd and we both recognized and affirmed each other's right to be there. Nomads fight when they see you as "encroaching"---Marehan and Majerten each recognized the others right and since there was 0 interest exceed beyond the meeting point, there was no hegemonic interests to develop conflict.
Since 1991, you accessed the Hawd at or north of Galdogob, Bayra to Bacadweyne.become your main route. You essentially have not looked back at from Gaalkacyo to Dhuduh original route south of Galdagob.
Marehan and particularly Wagardhac, because of reasons of effectuation different to that you experienced, responded differently. Marehan did not have the luxury because if they accepted the civil war disposition, than that was a direct existential threat to our grazing in Buuro in the West. So they have never relinquished desire to revert the civil war disposition of which they have practically completely succeeded as of now. Saleebaan did not stand down without a reason, he is back to where he was in 1989.
So if we have reached back up to Dhudub and with it have guaranteed the original pre-civil war disposition, we have started to naturally utilize it. Marehan nor Wagardhac is claiming it or is even declaring right of ownership---YOU just aren't utilizing it. So by default it's utlitizing your brother's equities he doesn't seem to be utilizing.
Generally, besides little typical historical nomadic wargames (primarily between Rer Khalaf and Radamir Marehan--bah Ogaden, Habar Ciise, etc), the only memorable clash between Marehan and Majerten in the entire centeal plateau was the Celi and Rer Bicidyahan clash of the 2000's---which, no one, not a single person, can deny was a serious act of aggression instituted through unjust belligerence by Majerten towards Yamaarugley, a recognized and affirmed historical equity of Marehan/Celi.
Since that clash, no serious belligerence or even act of aggression with consequence has been instituted either by Marehan or Majerten against each other in Mudug or Doollo.
If you watch Mama Malyun videos from GALADI; Marehan even make up 1 of Galadi's 4 neighborhoods (1 belonging to Rer Xaamud/Bicidhahan, 1 assortment of Bicidyahan, 1 to Omar Mohamud, and 1 Marehan primarily Wagardhac and Celi).
As for Dhudub, Marehan has never claimed Dhudub, even it it turns out that Marehan is now or in the future a majority; the Marehan position is it naturally resulted in that but claims of ownership are still recognized by Marehan as belonging to Majerten.
Generally, Marehan and Majerten in both Mudug and Doollo are not only not in conflict but even recognize each other as "allies" or naturally as the other's non-belligerant, safe side.
Because, and I am not expressing enmity to them, but both groups see Ogaden as their West hegemonic foe and Habar Gidir as their eastern or southern hegemonic foe.
Marehan and Majerten in Doollo and Mudug are not even two groups who have to "try" to be on good terms; their good terms are in fact brought about naturally. Again, that's because Marehan and Majerten are not hegemonic foes in the central plateau. They actually are the opposite; their strategies naturally compliment each other.im both Mudug and Doollo.
Anytime I have said, "Majerten" you should read it exactly as Majerten Mudug or Doollo (especially Omar Mohamud, Rer Bicidyahan, and Rer Mohamud).
When I say Marehan, I mean entirely Wagardhac in Mudug but all of them in Doollo (Rer Diini/bah Ogaden, Wagardhac, Celi, etc).
