For genuine Somali speakers only
Products of the diaspora, fish & chips hooligans, Sijuis and Djiboutians are exempted from this topic due to their limited af Somali.
Ok, here is the question:
What is the most appropriate Somali word for "Warlords"? So far, the titles given to them are not serving justice to what these killing machines stand for. Titles like "Hoggamiye Kooxeed" "Qabqableyaasha" "Dagaal Oogeyaal" etc etc etc. These titles make them look like leaders of some sort but does not put the spotlight on their heinous activities, rather, it depicts them as normal sects who are merely involved in a war for a reason (which could later pass as a "reasonable" reason)
I thought about it for a long time but I have yet to come up with a word that literally translates their moronic traits.
Some help needed here

How are you this beautiful morning my fellow Bostonian? I thought about that my dear but this title is exclusive for the marauding tools that is used by the big fishes, these are the minions like Abdi Hutu et al ...... I am talking about the Yalaxows, Talaxows, Qanyares (I wonder why they chose such ugly names)
But thanks for the attempt nevertheless.
