Django,
I don't want you to feel like you are being ganged up on, but I just want to say don't you know I have traveled trough out the NFD?
I saw Garisa. I have even been to obscure spots like Habaasweyne and Masalani which is the Mecca of your own Cabdalla.
Sxb, dhul lagu faano ma arkin. Actually when I read the British say Marehan settled in the best part of the Somali territory in British East Africa Protectorate or read them say the long distance between Afmadu and Garisa is due to water insecurity because of lack of watering holes, I am not surprised.
In my travels there in the NFD, I think I saw Dante's inferno wallahi. You won't see a single human for ages because the land is so dry, deserted, and inhospitable. Like why did Ogadeen travel all the way to settle in another dry desert?? It actually makes me extremely nervous about seeing Mudug or Central. If it is what I saw in the NFD or even more dry, I would question how Somalis have lived there for so long.
Marehan were quite intelligent in my opinion. When they came from the deserts of central Somalia, they stopped when they saw this big, beautiful river called the Jubba and then they PLOPPED themselves right beside it in the part of the Jubba even the British called the best part of Somali country.
This is a British picture of Humbaale which is where MURAX'S OWN CALI HUSSEIN settle. It is in the Garbahaaray district.
This is Lugh Ganaane, which is THE FIRST PLACE Marehan chose to settle permanently in the south.
And this is Baardheere, the CROWN JEWEL of Marehan conquest
I mean Somalis said gaal dil gartiisana sii. At some level, you have to commend Marehan for their intelligence.
They came from dry lands from the depths of hell and then they traveled until they saw, stopped, and overtime conquered the best land in the biggest water source anywhere in Somali territory.
But look at Ogadeen, why Afmadoow?? It's not even on the river. Why Dhooblay? Why Masalani?
No offense but they are all shit. They only seasonal watering holes aka boreholes aka TOG when and if rain comes.
Marehan depended on TOG back north and said HELL NO to depending on it once again. They claimed a RIVER!
