Re: Why the Haud was ceded, by: Leo Silberman
I wonder why someone from the jungles of Pente country Wellega/Jimma is interested about my Haud/Hawd.
Just know the Habesha neither Gallas ever saw this land beyond small outposts in few villages in which they arrived mostly in post 1980s following influx of Isaacs from SL fleeing Siad Barre prosecutions.
The Ethiopian army arrived not only to counter Barre and WSLF forces but to provide security for the newly arrived people.
I don’t call them refugees because they still were on Isaac land.
That’s when I used to play with the Ethiopian army thus never hated them. Very professional they were but TPLF introduced militia men and gangster culture to the army. I know that’s what Abiy is cleaning up.

1) Jimma is not ''jungle,'' nor is it ''pente country.'' Wallaga is majority pente, sure, but not Jimma.AwRastaale wrote: Sat Nov 17, 2018 6:35 pm I wonder why someone from the jungles of Pente country Wellega/Jimma is interested about my Haud/Hawd.

At least get your facts right, my tigrayan-hybrid friend.
2) i'm a fan of history in general-whether it be somali (darood expansion, isaaq expansion, dir, etc), or oromo, or amhara or tigrayan, etc.
So I will always read history, share it, and try to learn from others; something I don't expect an ignorant tigrayan like you, to comprehend.
I do not care who saw the haud and who didn't, that's not the purpose of the post, my tigrayan friend.
the purpose is to learn and share history, it's as simple as that.
if u are angry at us, feel free to be a man, for once, grow some balls, and do something in real life.
otherwise, your tears are just going to be ignored, and laughed at. the choice is yours, good sir.

Wachis is definatly a qerro inteligencia.He reminds me of Welkiat who was an Agame that used to post in SOL during circa 2006.
Waachis is no ordinary galla an Opdo operative with a mission.

the haud and reserve area was one third of british somaliland
protectorate.
after Somaliland is recognized they will have to go to international court to get back haud and reserve area insha allah

The guy above reminds me of a story of a Faarax hunter-gatherer in Somali folklore of old. The said hunter baa maalin isag dhisaaya castles in the air waxuu ku yiri naagtiisa oo uur leh, "naa sagaarada aa dili doona, lacagta aan ka sameeyo, subaga aan kuugu soo gedi doono, cab oo qur quri." Naagtii waxay ugu jawaabtey ninkeedii "war macabi karo oo waan ku laqanyoonaaye iga dhaaf subaga", markaa uu asna wuxuu ku yiri, "naa walee waa cabeysaa cab subaga", markaas iyadiina ku soo celisey "war walaahi cabi karin oo wadnah igu istaagaya laqanyo daraadeede iga dhaaf subagaan". Odeygii intuu sanifey oo furkii tuurey xanaaq dartiis buu xaaskiisii xaamilada aheyd wadnaha falaar uga dhuftey. Meeshii bey ku dhimatey maskiintii odeygiina ku ilmo iyo xaasba beeley.
