Who has a knowledge on daraawish division during the somali ethio war?

Post by thelucky1 »

What was their task? how many were they?
My father told me he fought alongside this unit. At the end of the war it became a tribal force consisting of only darood. My fathrer had miracle escape out the country to the al mamlaka. He financed the SNM movement from there while my uncle who was also in the unit joined the jihad.

Serious discussion only.

My father and 2 of my uncles who were 3rd Generation dervishes were part of this division. They were all 18 to 20. My father and uncle were wounded they were part of the force that captured and defended Jigjiga.

RIP to the brave men who died fighting our enemies.

My father and uncle did their wajib in the war. They also had a bigger obligation to their people. They did what was right I'm proud of them . AUN to your uncle.
