Puntlanders I have a question!

[damu]

You are right damu socotra is not IN hadramut but thats not what i meant, i was refering to which governorate (or whateva they call it yemen) it falls under... Im well aware of where socotra is located

What is your relationship with the hadhramaut region of Yemen? Is there any historical link there? Are there MJ hadhrami people?

The reason why I ask is that I have seen Hadhramis who claim to originate from Puntland and vice versa.

Thanks!

tell us what you've heard/seen.

MashAllah thanks so that's why there is that special connection. I've also read that the MJ's used to recruit the hadramis to wage war against the hawiyes

It wasn't for war specifically against any clan, but Boqor Keenadiid did have 700 Hadhrami musketeers by his side. He recruited them from his exile in Yemen. Puntlanders have a long history of finding gullible Arab followers for their cause. 50 years before Keenadiid, Sheikh Cali Majerteen invaded Marka with 150 Iraqi followers when he returned from his pilgrimage to Baghdad.
