Shiid Fafahdhun's green

[QansaGabeyle]

Damn dude reer gedood asal baa tahay walle. My mother was born in a place just outside of Beled Xawo called Burkuus and my dad was actually born in Nairobi but he is now buried in Beled Xawo. My family, although we travelled a lot, has always been genuine reer gedood. My grandfather and three of my uncles are buried in Bardhere. My cousins, most of them are old men, still live in Baadiyaha baardheere.

Waraa are your parents related through their reer abti by any chance?

My father spent some time in Gedo in the early 80s (for work purposes) & he said, for the most part, it wasn't "green".

And how is this of the utmost importance to you? Naar Nugaal iyo Bari biya waa yaadba ka timide

[Ashlee]

Who said it was of the "utmost importance" to me? I was just contributing to the discussion, so slow your role. I didn't tell a lie, did I? My father and I were discussing where in Somalia he's visited and one of the places he mentioned was Gedo. According to him, a lot of areas in Gedo are not "green". You agreed with me, so what's with the drama and attitude? Or is it that time of the month again? Abayo, I'd be more than willing to give you some advice on what pills to take, so don't be afraid to PM me, mmkay?

BTW both of my parents are from south of Mogadishu and my ancestors were from the parts of Bari that are more green than the area you come from ( I've been here long enough to know that you're from that Hawiyo filled hell-hole, Galgaduud and not Gedo ), so lay off the pseudo-insults.

( I've been here long enough to know that you're from that Hawiyo filled hell-hole, Galgaduud and not Gedo ), so lay off the pseudo-insults.

And for that I extend the olive branch

However two things:

1. My parents are from Galgaduud, I'm from Xamar

2. I am debating genuinely in the discussion, however you have an axe to grind and are merely trying to be a nuisance. Am I wrong?

^^Ur father was born in nairobi, what the fock?

do U have Ugas Shermake relatives?

[Murax]

Voltage,

I don't think my Parents were hallucinating or had an overly romantic memory of the place. Bardheere/Luuq areas were always green and lusch from their recollection and even today (look at pictures). The abaar is most probably caused by Greenhouse Gas which among its global effects like Sea Level rise causing flooding in South Asia also has an effect on accelerating drought in East Africa. I remember listening and reading this from My Geology professor who also presents on the Smithsonian and He talked about the continued occurance of drought in East Africa due to human factors. Also I'm sure the deforestation that has gradually been taking place in Gedo has contributed as well. That finding I found out coincide perfectly with My Parents recollection of the Gedo landscape. When You get a chance try reading on Greenhouse Gas being linked in East African drought.

Ashley,

Gedo is the 2nd biggest Gobol in Somalia with a varied landscape and We're not talking about the entire region. By any chance did Your Pops visit Beled Xaawo, Buurdhoobo, Cel Wak, Garbahary as those areas are not known for being excessively green in comparison to other areas.

Yea Man true reer gedood. I have 0% to Galgudud iyo meelahas thats why I'm always disinterested in Galgudud topics.

[QansaGabeyle]

do U have Ugas Shermake relatives?

I am not directly related to any but by cousins mom is Jamac Shide's sister.Anyway reer Juquraafi are like a family. They have always lived amongst my family in Gedo.

[Murax]

Qansa, how much of Baardhere is Ugaas and how much is Talxe, Reer Shirwac etc.? Percentage wise give an estimate.

[QansaGabeyle]

Saaxibow even though you will see people telling you that Bardhere is Ugaas Sharmarke and Talxe or people telling you Cabduwaq is Dalal, Siyad Xussien Wegerdhac etc. Marexaan way is dhex degaan and Bardhere is very mixed. Beled Xawo aan aqaan aniga and I can easily tell you other marexaans easily outnumber the Calidheres, Reer Axmeds and Howrarsames. I think it is a good thing that marexaans are divided and not city really belongs to any clan. There are some cities however that are very much one tribe but they are tiny and they are not growing at all. Matter of fact, one thing that is for sure is cities with one clan only get smaller instead of growing.

[Murax]

Qansa,

How about Ceel Cadde? However even that town I heard a lot of Reer Xassan started moving in and My Aunt told Me there was tension at one point but things calmed down because I heard some Reer Garad elders went to the Reer Xassan elders and said 'We don't want any trouble".


Well I can assure You Humbali and Shabel Duulaha (Right Spelling?) is 100% Cali Xusayn Nicca

[QansaGabeyle]

Yes they are. Waraa you do know Humbaali is a buur right? Ok I am just messing with you. I like that poem/song a siciid cali xussien chick sang. I only remember these lines.......Humbaalaha sararta weyn iyo something something Siciid cali ayaa i dhale.

Ceel Cadde is relatively new as a town and although it is reer garaad town, qofka kastaa dego like your mother said. a lot of the smaller farah ugaas clans live there too like Buurdhuubo.

[Murax]

Yea Man. I get the impression that Reer Gedo are non territorial and were always at home with each other in the past and even today. As far as Humbaali goes I heard its just a mountain and i'm not sure why anybody would live there.

Btw, ninyaho is Hawarsame one of the stronger groups in Gedo right now as a result of all the help they received from Amxaaro?

[QansaGabeyle]

I think Reer Xassan is the strongest in Gedo. Didn't you realize by now that is the reason why they are flexing their muscleseverywhere for no apparent reason. Amxaaro worked with many greedy scum so called leaders but they never really supported any particular clan.

The takeover dheh. They now have a strong presense in Luuq, Beled Xaawo, Ceel Cadde, Dolow, Buurdhoobo.


Btw what subclans live in Cel Wak predominantely? I never heard a MR say I'm from there.


Also dude whats up with the Raxanweins lately? Is a punative expedition to Bay being planned? Btw I came to find out that Raxanwein do have a claim to parts of Luuq but it seems for the past 100 years Marexaan have slowly been pushing farther and farther into Dir/Raxanwein areas pushing them out of the entire luuq distict.

[QansaGabeyle]

The marexaans in Ceel Waq I believe are predominately uurmidig and calidheere. But like I said before it is all mixed for the most part.

Raxanweynta make claims to every city in southern Somalia from Kismaayo to Buulo Burde. I don't really know what to say about them. It is usually their politicians and not the people. It is probably to have more say at somali conferences. By the way I spoke to several people and they told me that story about the marexaan elders getting killed in Ufuroow is fake.
