Bendar-Qaasim port and the Majeerteen paid tribute to the Al-Qaasimi family . The al Qaasimi also claimed Berbera as one of his vessel ports the Isaaq of the early 1800s dismissed his claim but the Majeerteen at the coast collectively paid a yearly tribute as late as the 1870s.
Xplayer, check this wikipedia entry and who they claiming xaaji cali al-majeerteen was!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haji_Ali_Majeerteen
Xaaji Cali of Abassyniya (the man in the photograph) is infact a mullah fromthe town of Baabile and lived most of his life in Diredawa, Ethiopia and who had established one of the earliest schools in the city which was named after him. This school was the first Somali (Islaamic) modern school in the Harargey region and was established 1948 or 49.
Any Somali or Muslim who lived in Diredawa at any time since 1950s to the present day, knows knows about this school which is situated in Haafat Ciise area and probably studied there at one point during their childhood. The school still exists to this day and is still called MADARASAT-UL-XAAJI CALI OR HAAJI ALI TIMIRTI BEET/ HAAJI ALI SCHOOL.
And Xaaji Cali is known to have hailed from the Karinle sub-clan of Hawiye.
I know this fact as it was told to me by a man from Fuurlabe sub-clan of Ciise who not only studied at that school but also taught there in mid 1980 to early 1990s.
I think some folks are not that good at the art of Budcad- Taariikheed.
