Sultanate of Hobyo

[Snailland12]

Looool hawyie and British?!?! This is what happens when people believe their own clans fairytale, the truth is the Italians made deals with the mjs and swiftly took over a already conquered people. The funny thing is people are saying this clan has never been enslaved yet they are rightfully under Bantu ownership today, The only agression hutus show is against fellow Somalis. Also you to remember that the real hawyie (abagaal) were never enslaved but the fake Somali jareer spawn hag were emslaved by mjs in their own home city, and were used to be stepped on by Italians when they used thousand of Hutus as a bridge. Hag never fought anyone important throughout their history, they are a joke and an insult to other proud real hawiye.

Kkkkk at some people trying to downplay the Sultanate. It's a known fact that they ruled from Galkayo to El Buur.

Farther east on the Majeerteen (Bari) coast, by the middle of the nineteenth century two tiny kingdoms emerged that would play a significant political role on the Somali Peninsula prior to colonization. These were the Majeerteen Sultanate of Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud, and that of his kinsman Sultan Yuusuf Ali Keenadiid of Hobyo (Obbia). The Majeerteen Sultanate originated in the mideighteenth century, but only came into its own in the nineteenth century with the reign of the resourceful Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud. Ismaan Mahamuud's kingdom benefited from British subsidies (for protecting the British naval crews that were shipwrecked periodically on the Somali coast) and from a liberal trade policy that facilitated a flourishing commerce in livestock, ostrich feathers, and gum arabic. While acknowledging a vague vassalage to the British, the sultan kept his desert kingdom free until well after 1800.

Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud's sultanate was nearly destroyed in the middle of the nineteenth century by a power struggle between him and his young, ambitious cousin, Keenadiid. Nearly five years of destructive civil war passed before Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud managed to stave off the challenge of the young upstart, who was finally driven into exile in Arabia. A decade later, in the 1870s, Keenadiid returned from Arabia with a score of Hadhrami musketeers and a band of devoted lieutenants. With their help, he carved out the small kingdom of Hobyo after conquering the local Hawiye clans. Both kingdoms, however, were gradually absorbed by the extension into southern Somalia of Italian colonial rule in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.

Hutus always downplay their shamefully history and smooth is most likely a spawn of those Yemeni merceneies

This kid reeks of desperation, what you are seeing here is a level of shame that's on a unprecedented levels, one dhabodolif cheer-leading another dhabodilif for using foreign muscles against indigenous Somalis.

Then again these are the same shameless people that claimed they 'Conquered Mogadishu" using 50000 Ethiopian troops, that's their level of bravery and fictitious laughable 'warrior' spirit, what others find an utter embarrassment and shame, they take as a source of pride

The image he posted are all Arab musketeers mercenaries from Yemen armed with modern weapons and backed by a Italian contingent, let's see what the historians say about these with references backing that claim.

Title: A Political Chronology of Africa By David Lea, Annamarie Rowe page 378







There you have it, backed by Arab musketeer mercenaries and the Italians, not 1 foreign army, but 2, despite that, as the sources state, he only briefly controlled the tiny green-zone around the fort.

How can he enslave anyone when he himself was a slave? It was well know the Italian colonel shared the same bed with him as he wrote in his memoir, I posted the translated Italian works of the historian many years back on here stating this, this was around 2006 memorable karbaash, even they don't use this but an iidoor comes out with it, your shaming them here.

Only a mentally deranged person would think that a homosexual Majerteenia whom travelled all the way to Yemen for the mercenary army and Italian backing after the local HAG army routed his militia's, called the shots with the 1000 Strong Arab Musketeers and the Italian lieutenants, but then again you are the same people that claimed Beer Dofaar was in full control of the Ethiopian's and Amisom he brought into the country.
