Apparently Garbahaarey was supposed to have fallen because Madoobe Governor Shimbir had hitchhiked to town



Since Madoobe and KDF Jubbaland was formed, Garbahaareey is the 1 single district that had not once switched sides staying an iron fortress against them and is, to this day, the reason why Gedo Region has stayed outside the hands of Madoobe & KDF Jubbaland.

Garbahaarey is the Capital of Gedo Region.

I'm afraid this will escalate though. Shimbir is trying to exert authority.

With no popular support and no diplomatic cover. Do tell me how Damul Jadeed will exert authority in Gedo? Secondly, a country in regressive control of Al Shabaab. Pacifying Mogadishu and the Shabelles should be the focus. The security apparatus of the previous administration is being untangled for foreign powers.

Horta the overwhelming majority of Marehan the population is on the same page. Garbahaarey just seems to be the only district where the "PEOPLE" will absolutely not yield to authority whether their sons or whether it would be less conducive to conflict.

There is need for only ONE other district where the people show similar unyielding self-agency to slap down their wayward boys masquerading as authority and the gauntlet will be thrown wide open and this nonsense will be clipped in the butt.

I think the closest district to be this game changer following up Garbahaarey's resolve will be Dollow especially if Suldaan Shaalle Cibaad Bulxan of Reer Axmed gives the order.

Here is Suldaan Shaalle speaking very recently and listening to him one understands the profound unity of the PEOPLE of Gedo regarding this entire long KDF Jubbaland rouse and the sheer resolve behind their disagreement;



Madoobe will never focking be accepted by the people of Gedo. Period.

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.
