Suldaan Shaalle Cibaad Bulxan's father Cibaad Bulxan was the single most memorable part of USC's 1 month occupation of Gedo Region in 1992. I relayed it here;
Caydiid waagi yaroo Gedo uu qabsaday Mareexaan oo firxad ah with his Hawiye, Raxanweyn, and southern huwan he based himself in Baardheere and had the nerve to call Boutros-Ghali there to announce himself the new President of Somalia.
Cibaad Bulxan odaygi meesha ugu waynaa oo Mareexaan/reer Axmed ah baa u tagay after hearing the invitation Caydiid sent
Cibaad Bulxan said "Caydiid, ciirtaas sow u ma jeedid?" pointing to the clouds forming in the sky. "Ciirtaas hadaad u jeedid waa cududa Mareexaan oo kugu soo socota"
This USC soldier tried to run at him but Caydiid said leave him adding "Mareexaan hadaan aqaan, run buu sheegaye. Xabadaad ku dhamayn lahaydeen nimanka soo socda u diyaarsada"
Within a fortnight Caydiid was escaping with an injury being chased past Buurxakaba on the border between Bay and Lower Shabelle with his right hand man Col Shabeel (the man Habar Gidir still swear on) dead and having kids mocking his body.
His grandfather Bulxan Cismaan Barre is listed in this British intelligence report from 1909 on the Galti war leader Shire Jaamac of Reer Axmed who had linked with the Mad Mullah to begin rebellion against the British in Jubaland territory.
Bulhan Osman Barre is listed 2nd to last in the principal chiefs under Isaaq [Galshireedle]
Something tells me there is an expectant rendezvous with history waiting for Shaalle Cibaad Bulxan in line with his father and grandfather's historically important roles within Marehan.
