Richard Burton quotes

[Cumar-Labasuul]

Another one I read was that reer shirdoon were bitter enemies of the garxajis and that the strongest clan at the time was the Ciise.

[Siciid85]

Cumar_Labasuul, the so called reer shirdoon was defeated by Haji Sharmarkay of the Musa Carre and drove them away from berbera helping the ayal ahmed and later when the reer shirdoon immigrated to somewhere near seylac they were masscarred by the crazy cisses according to some history i readed.

[djibsomali]

Now I know why they are called gadabirsi

Maybe you don't know how to read or have not read at all the book.

richard had 2 guide that he got from sanaa (yemen) both were habar awal
and as he says in the book that is how it got related when he asked them about the tribe.

hence the non sensesical as above


however when he made an independent observation in his book this is what he wrote about them.

***********************************************************
page 136

Here, white flocks odotting the hills, and the scavengers of the air (haad) warned us that we were in the vicinity of villages.Our wigwam was soon full of fair-faced gadabursi, mostly loajira or cow-herd boys, who,according to the custom of their class, wore their tobes bound scarf-like round their necks.They begged us to visit their village, and offered a heifer for each lion shot on mount libahlay: unahapply we could not afford time.Amongst them was the first really pretty and handsome face seen by me in the somali country The head was well formed, and gracefully placed upon a long thin neck and narrowshoulders; the hair, brow and nose were unexceptionable, there was an arch look in the eyes of jet and pearl, and a suspicion of africa protuberance about the lips, which gave the countenance and exceeding naivete.


*****************************************************************
page 168 of first footsteps in east africa

In appearance the gadabursi (samarone) are decidedly superior to their limitrophes of somale
(the issa, habar awal, gugureh, girri).
I have seen handsome faces amongst the men as well as the women.
Some approach closely to the Caucasian type: one old man, with olive-coloured skin, bald brow,and white hair curling round his temples, and occiput, exactly resembled an anglo-indian veteranGenerally, however, the prognathous mouth betrays an african origin, and chewing tobacco mixed with ashes (buree) stains the teeth, blackens the gums, and mottles the lips.
The complexion is the cafe au lait (fair).Contrasting strongly with the sooty skins of the coast;and the hair, plentifully anointed with rancid butter, hands from the head in lankcorkscrew the colour of a Russian pointer's coat. the figure is rather squat,
but broad well set and built. The gadabursi are as turbulent and unmanageable, though not so bloodthirsty, as the issa.

I think the guides were jaleaous about the observation that they just had to resort about disssing and lying to white man.

Which subclans were they seeking help from . read it its in the book of richard corfield of somaliland if u can see in parts in google books if not Libreyga ka wayi meysid.

[Siciid85]

The sub clans were The sons of Ahmed and the Ayyal Yunis.

[Khalid Ali]

The sub clans were The sons of Ahmed and the Ayyal Yunis.

The sons of Ahmed and who are they? And the Ayall Yunis Arent they sacadmuse As in Yunis Nuux Cali yoonis nuux , gaalkan richard burton qabilada sii baas bu u qora

[Siciid85]

sons of axmed = axmed nuux
Ayal Yunis = yoonis nuux

It was Axmed nuux who called for the help of the haji sharmaky while the yoonis nuux called for a outside help from the east.
