Thats right thats what you heard, I hear a lot of shit too.
If we are so small how come so many of our names come up when it comes to Isaaq history:
Qarshe: Father of Somali Music
Maxamuud Axmed Cali: Father of Education
Cabdiraxmaan Tuur: First Somaliland President and last SNM leader
Muuse Faarax Igarre: Was called from India to karbaash the Sayyid, he single handedly helped Hawiye in Hobyo fight of MJ.
Sharmaarke Paasha: First Somali Ruler of Saylac, mind you Saylac was not even a traditional HY land, let alone muuse carre territory.
Xasan Keyd: first East African for get Hy, Isaaq or Somali, to go to Sandhurst military college and graduate with honors.
there are many more, just cant think of them right now.
I am also sure you you know about Cawad Khurshe, the guy Salaan Carrabey complained about.
