"my grandfather was a seaman and left somali-lands in the 1930s"? if your grandfather had any wealth (camels, land), i doubt your grandfather would hop on a british sailboat with other white, godless, possibly homosexual englishmen and leave behind his wife, kids and camels/land (wealth) behind.skywalker25 wrote: For the record my own grandfather left British Somaliand as early as the 30's along with many other Isaaq who are on record as being the very first Somali's to leave the Somali lands. On the otherhand I don't know any Marexaans seamen or any records showing them leaving Somalia. So how can the two people be compared? One was local the other global.
so basically, your grandfather was doing tahriib about 80 years ago.
comparing isaaq to a sub/sub clan of darod. i'll be merciful and let that slideEven today's Somalia the Isaaq are at the top and the Marexaans in the bush.
Pinky whether you like it or not your people depended on the white man more back them than I as Habar Jeclo ever did. And today your pathetic tribe is outside the British government offices complaining about Silanyo massacring you. That's the truth not this alcohol fueled fake bravado afweyene fed your people about you saving Somalia from the white man when the truth is you were forced to run straight at the British Gatling guns by the mad mullah and had no choice but to die. Your pitiful tribe is my property today so when in speaking to a boon from gedo, your job is to shut up make as little noise as possible and bring me my tea like a good butler....
Voltage, my ancestors came to the west as working proud men not refugees picked up from Utanga. The irony. A refugee insulting men who even under the wests racist outlook forged a lasting well respected life that future generations of Somalis were permitted because of the lasting impression of these men.
I think you missed the whole point of my reply. But I will pretend Pinkys attempted hijacking mislead you and you rather than engaging your brain ran away with his silly remark...
My question is if your people are so great; the first Somali to do this and that. Etc. I mean claims are so many that I can't be bothered to write them all. But my point is. Why is it that your claim; that Isaaq's had an insignificant input in comparison to Marexaan. Why is this not supported by the two clear roles the two tribes are performing in today's Somalia.
One has built a nation the other can't build a neighborhood watch....
