This is the response to your recurring statement.
Adali, have I ever responded to you on this? No. Yet you continue to push this on me not understanding that Mareexaan is a big clan and with diverse realities. The reality for Wagardhac is completely different to the reality for Reer Hassan. Wagardhac is in Saaxo and Gaalkacyo is thr closest town to her. Reer Hassan is in Negeyle even further than Liban and contesting equities in a Kilil that is NOT even Somali.
Sxb I am literally GALTI today. I think you need to understand this is not about individual or even personal family. AS A CLAN, WE HAVE MOVED ENTIRELY.
Do you understand what this means? This is like Murax's great grandfather looking back at Cadaado and Mareerguur wells that dried and sent AS CLANS, Cali Hussein/reer Ahmed/reer Ugas Shermaark to the Jubba----it's like asking him to care about what happened to those wells?
What would be the relevance? Murax is today 4th or 5th generation reer Gedo today. Reer Cali Hussein are 100% reer Gedo today. Not a single one left in the north.
Yey Cali Hussein, reer Ahmed (also 100% reer Gedo today) and reer Ugaas Shermaarke (also pretty much 98% today except for the personal family of the Cali Xaabuun Ugaas Mudug) were oodwadaag and were the westernmost Marehan of the southern part of Marehan in Gobolada Gobolada Dhexe.
They were in Mareerguur and Cadaado and reer Siyaad were in Sinadhaqo, and that was the boundary between Marehan and Hawiye yesterday.
Literally this is recorded by the Italians.
Yet all 4 of those groups for the most part joined Galti Migration and the few dried wells they abandoned is today exactly the same border for Mareexaan.
I plan to show you this all in my larger Mudug topic that is meant to completely remove the mythology from false history.
Sxb Qalqalooc and Ulasan are today those wells. As a clan, we have moved. And to be honest, NONE OF US WANT TO GO BACK.
NONE.
Marehan only had it because it had RELATIVE better pasture and that was becoming worse and worse. I remember my father telling me even in the 70's, everytime he went there it was a drought and he didn't remember that as a kid to which his mother said it was slowly going back but by that time it was obvious there was a change in the land.
Sxb, I don't think you realize, but the Shabelle River is dying. It's not going dry now because of some Dam,, according to my grandla, it was dry by the time you got to Benadir for as long as he remembers. He is right, I have read colonial reports descrive exactly this process.
Now, scientific estimates says in the next 15-20 years the Shabelle River is going to dry completely ljke 100%. It won't even have running water. There will be waro and some balli but that's death stage to a river becore rot.
The more the River dries, the LESS precipitation available to go up and become clouds and the less clouds available to consense into rain.
There is nothing to hold on to. The future for these people who rely on that land now will be migration too and in general Hawiye/HG is behind Marehan by 150 years.
Conquest was done 150 years ago. That's what gave MY JUFFO the opportunity to get up and not look back, but Marehan had conquered opportunities still providing new homeland to new ones of us.
The only thing available to what Sahal talks about is eating the last crumbs from a finished cookie.
If they could do expansion, they would have when it was relevant. Not move in to expiring pasture when I, once again, have moved on.
And we have sxb. Even our camels are drinking the Jubba
I am sorry sxb, but you are reer Dalal. You have strong interest in holding back our attention to things like pasture in Ceelgaab and it makes sense, because you represent the clan most beholden to equity in the north and the least migrated Sade clan, but the future even for you is either urban development or migration.
We have been moving because of environmental pressures for 250 years. Bit by bit.
No clan could move us anywhere, but environment continues to do so.
Last week it was Saddam as Guri.
Last weekend it was Murax as Galti.
Today, it is literally me as Galti II.
I don't have a single family member above my generation born in the south and I don't have a single family member under my generation not born in the south.
The future for you too is either migration or urban development.
No clan will have a single family able to herd in that area in about 20 years.
This is why my heart has softened towards Habar Gidir and generally any and all Somalis who all face worsening and existential environmental conditions.
This is why I want to understand the Mudug question from positivity and not misunderstanding of the equities involved.
Sxb literally entire Mudug issue is explained by one thing mg grandma said a long time that I now understand so well and which none of the people there have scientifically made to understand.
During her story one time about how as a very young girl they went to get "DHAAN" In Laas Caanood,, Sool agteeda.
Dhaan is when drought is basically famine and there is no water anywhere. Dhaan is the trek to reach water
One time I asked her "oh Grandma, you guys went all the way there, was it that bad EVEN IN CEELBUUR and dhinacaas
Wallahi I remembered it this week when I really understood Mudug
She said "CEEL-BUUR, ma CEELBUUR baad tiri. Ayeeyo, GEELEENU CAWSKOODA XATAA MA DAAQO.
I thought it was kibir Daarood thing so I didn't pursue.
Now I understand GEELOO DHAN cawska bari ka xigo JIDKA ma daaqo. and that is why 80% of HG in central Somalia crowd the road facing Darood.
And the road was follow the Italian TOMASSELI LINE.
And the colonial line was marking to put police startion (DHUUSAMAREEB) at the place where it always seemed Darod especially Marehan were responding with even massacres against the hapless Habar Gidir.
And the Marehan and Darod had made that their border with HG and HW becausr it was the exact place where an ENVIRONMENTAL change took place.
It is where CAWS aka DAAQ changed from HAWD GRASS TO ADUUN grass.
And where the change happened between Galaadi to the road today is what was original MUDUG PLAINS.
The 80% of the land in "MUDUG" from the road to the coast is not even really Mudug the environment.
I will try to explain better but perspective changea when you really understand the issue.
