We are not iidoor we will completely overwhelm farmajo tol if entire cayr join so pray that this ends rather than saying rer siyaad vs entire cayr. You know that's bs. Only cayr that deals with mareexaan are ayanle
Pray for peace sxb; nothing has overwhelmed Marehan ever in war.
Even in the middle of civil war in 1991 with all of USC (Hawiye), Dir, Sheeqaal, and everyone else neither Abudwaaq or Balanbale were captured even while Gaalkacyo was captured.
Even Guriceel was besieged and vacated entirely by Cayr in the battle of Feero Qumumux when Aideed (AUN) tried to capture Balanbale.
Marehan today is not facing hostilities everywhere, is armed to the teeth, and richer and stronger.
Pray for peace.
3 things happened last year that caused rer Balanbale and reer Siyaad in particular to destroy the Xeer that allowed grazing in Balanbale because of the extreme environmental situation further east because of the droughts that are now yearly.
1. The killing of the 5 Marehan soldiers on their way to Caabudwaaq killed by Cayr between Guriceel and Balanbale.
The aano qabil yielded the death of 9 Cayr by Marehan.
2. The killing of the two Marehan students taken out of a transport vehicle and killed by Cayr between Guriceel and Balanbale.
The aano qabiil yielded the death of 5 Cayr by Marehan. In fact, Bah-Xawaadle even came to Caabudwaaq and killed the 5th as a dare to Reer Caabudwaaq for even hosting a Cayr.
3. The December killing of the Marehan university student who was vacationing and taking pictures between Balanbale and Guriceel.
When the rer Siyaad (reer Cusmaan-Nuur) student was killed, Bah-Xawaadle declared total war.
There was no more "aano qabiil" responses it was decided. The entire Xeer was torn apart and war was declared.
That war as documented in this topic has led to Cayr completely moving back from Balanbale grazing and even the burning of nomadic Cayr settlements to graze INSIDE ETHIOPIA in places reer Siyaad has already moved away from to Gedo over the past 100 years.
Garbahaarey and Balanbale are not "tribally" linked towns.
They are "family" linked towns.
You have 3, 2, even 1 generation families living apart in both towns.
Every Cayr... Every single Cayr... Every single individual Cayr knows "reer Siyaad."
If this spirals out of control, the regret will be great without me even needing to say who will be shouldering the overwhelming bulk of that regret.
Pray for peace sxb.
