First its true we all have ''sultans'' harti have like 20000 sultans, boqors etc, idoor same, haweey etc. secondly, somalis constantly keep splitting into clans, subclan, sub sub etc and thus the need to have a ''sultan''Tolomoge has 3 Ugaas/Sultaans. there is 1 Ugaas in Galbeed (Ugaas Cabdirahman Ugaas Abdi Qani), he is Abdalle and lives in Godey.Lord,
That is my point. There is no OG Suldaan but Suldaans(plural).
Horta how many Ugaas or Suldaans Tolomoge has? I heard Suldaan Xuseen, Ugaas Qani and so on.
In Waamo and NFD, we have 2 Sultaans. 1. Sultaan Cali Cumar Shuriye was the last Abdalle Sultaan and now we don't have any Sultaan.
2.Sultaan Dekow Maalim Sambuul (from the famous reer Abdi Ibrahim lineage) is the Abudwaak sultaan. That means no Tolomoge sultaan.
We don't acknowledge any Absame/Ogadeen wide chief Ugaas.
thirdly, we absame were the first to unite and rule all somalis, whether directly or indirectly and our peak was at the 19th century and lastled until the british and italians defeated us in the early part of the 20th century, no one can deny that we have reached and colonised more lands then any somali or east african ethinic group in east africa, our domain run from the ciidagal borders to nairobi. we also fought with more enemies than anyone else, name someone else other than absame who fough with oroma ( galla) habash, jareers, british, italians, somalis like idoors and harti and even biyomal was subdued in shabelle states.
fourthly, all other somalis bough their slaves from arab traders, we directly slaved all jareers we came across in jubbalnds till the borders of nairobi ( remember the famous letter from the governor of nairobi to abdirahman mursal asking us to stop slave trade as late as 1909), the british famously asked abdirahman mursal to return 50 samburu ( masii sub ethinic group) to be return to his territories in nairobi, kore who are now an endengered ethnic group thanks to absame, waboni who paid us tributes etc.
5thly, the marerhans, harti and biyomals rising agains the absame rulers and siding with the british when we were fighting the jubbland wars between 1909-1922,
6thly, do you serously think we had fractured leadership to achieve all this conquest of jubblands with ''many sultans''? all these so called sultans came along after we greatly expanded our bounderies and were hundreds of miles apart. all absames ackenowledge the royal line of mohamed subeer as the one with the ultimate Ugas ( ugas is the head of sultans, amirs, dukes, sayeds etc) this ugas was seated in Qabri Dahare. Raage Ugas was reer warfa, when he fought with farax will waal, his aim was to return the ugasnimo to the mohamed subeer royal line
lastly, it is a well known fact that mohamed subeer ugasyash sent each subclan with premandates to conquered lands and all had titles ''amir''. we followed each other bacnk then, rememr it has been a century since all sultan titles had any importanmce in somali history.
learn your real ugasyasa now: mohamed subeer-------reeer ugas koshin---reer Ugas warfa---reer Ugas magan,
reer magan are three group and they have a function....reer Ugas ( from the oldest son Nuur magan) bahan magan ( reer sultan, almost like a priminister, bahan magan are 10 sons of magan, also ruled jubboyinka inclduing NFD) reer dalal ( the youngest son, this is the providers of the military of absamaha )
like it or not sxb, the mohamed suber Ugas was accepted as the most powerful in all somali lands, Ugas Nuur cuubudiye is the excellent example of this. his orders being followed by idoors, majertein, marehans, biyomals, sheikhasl etc by simply lifting his fingers and any that refused suffered the consequence such as merehans, idoors and MJ.
when the sayed said Og, let me give u control back from Jigjiga to nairobi, to whom did he speak to? cabudwaq? makahil? he spoke to Reer Magan, who fought him? reer dalal, mohamed waal, bahan magan, the Ugas, the sultan, Gurase haaji ali, Xuseen Yuusuf Xirsi etc, are u saying the sayed would go to no bodies? !!
all these sultans we have now were like dukes, earls, barons who became sultans due to two factors: brtish colonialism in somali lands coupled with huge distances ogadens found themselves in after centuries of conquest and then being split up finally.
we were once united and lead by one strong household that we all respected, is it any wonder we were supreme in strength, compared to our fellow somalis!
