Because something is on print doesn't mean it is true. You have given no sources, no information, and any Somali can see that revisionism was a collaboration between secondary history researcher using Somalis (namely Majeerteen) as the primary source (of the oral tradition). And you are in college?
Its fascinating how people would blind themselves from the truth, claiming its lies and fabrications.
This isnt the first book i've seen, which has clearly written the majerten history and kingdoms, that dates back to 1800's. Face it Voltage Mareexan have always been at the bottom scale of somali society.
There was 20 years of glory, with a simple coup.. taken from a majerten president, who was killed. that 20 years was what ruined somalia, because nomadic village people were allowed to rule, and look what happened.
Also what do you have now. The prime minister of the mogadisho one way street government, thats nothing to be proud of.. and dont claim al shabab terrorist organisations leaders, or any of the other insignificant religious groups in south somalia.
Majerten is somalias brain house, elites. Business, Intellects, politicians, developed land. the one who comes closest is isaaq, because of somalilands prosperity, then maybe habar gidir, perhaps because of their braveness and business acuity.. What do marehan have.. declined population, i hardly see any mareehans around lol. and their land is just a desert made up of several villages, whats left of the people, not developed in the least, not one big business or famous individual currently...impoverished by ongoing famine in marehan region, forgoodness sakes haawiyes in galgadud and mudug are doing far better than you lot, dissapointed at the lack of darood intelligence.
Reality is theres no somali tribe that has declined so vast, and so quickly.
