Mapping the water equities of Doollo (esp Warder & Galadi) + Shilabo/Ferfer, Abudwaq & Balanbale as pop zones is clear

[ReturnOfMariixmaan]

I am going to leave this forum for good. I realize it was a mistake to come back.

In truth, I came back for one reason and one reason only; to provide information to any young Marehan that wanted to know more about this land. Walking in this landscape, I was startled more than once to find myself being surprised by new information when my knowledge of Marehan equity was relatively strong as I thought. I have had one goal and that was to teach. I have mapped, I have graphed, and I have explained with purpose. Hopefully you find it useful whoever you are and whenever your search leads you to reading about your lands presented to you with intention.

Equity, equity and equity, I realised you're always harping on about equity, where was your "equity" when your clan massacred MJ & OG, when you used State resources at your own selfish benefit? This is what I can't stand about your kind, there is no apology for Barre's crimes and what he did to accomplish his goals, how can you speak of equity, when it was your own clan who Kickstarted this whole charade in the first place?

Absolutely mind-boggling.

How do you claim to be the most strongest if you can’t handle your big brother besting you without no aid or power from others? You’re admitting psychologically on a Darwinian evolutionary level - you can’t defeat us. Dude ALL of Somalia in ‘91 wanted to massacre us and displace us like Ajuraan. Some many fronts to defeat yet - we never complained nor cried about. Yet you can’t handle even a light tap of 21 years. That’s why you’re little brother

Fascinating wallahi.



Finally, it shows Galadi has the most modern investment in herding water resources and also why there has been desperation from eastern parts of Mudug and Galgaduud to access Saaxo and Qorof Marehan/Wagardhac piped systems connecting Dhabat/Bali Abdi Ali to Ramalo/Qoraf to Saaxo/Dhudub to Galaadi. Qaloocan is very clearly important to Majerteen for this reason. It is the furthest northwestern extension of the piped Galadi system allowing Majerten herders to reach Danot borders for feed before having to come back. The extension of the piped system from Galadi to Bali Abdi Ali just above Caabudwaaq also similarly contains some of the biggest Marehan settlements in Doollo for this reason, i.e. Yamaarugley, Uurmadag, Ramalo, Duuban, Ceelaay, Booso, Godane, Qorof, Hananwaylood, Saaxo, etc.

Fascinating wallahi.

Great video out today from DUUBAN to observe the piped system @ work;



Here is Duuban:



@3:35, you get an excellent exposition of PUBLIC WATERING SYSTEM in this case an entire field of dozens of multi faucet livestock watering fountain that is entirely A PIPED SYSTEM in this case ran by solar power




@1:40 you can see the extensive investments in solar powering system by the local community (Duuban is settled almost exclusively by folks from Marehan/Rer Hersi Diini & Marehan/Celi);




This is an EXCELLENT exposition showing in action what I mapped a while back.

Once again, this is central Somali plateau infamously known as the "waterless or waterloss Hawd/Haud." This land is more implicated by "baraag/berkad" which is rudimentary watch catchment dependent on rain or trucked water.

But this is larger Buuro region (i.e. "Marehan country") in that landscape which is fortunate to be with extensive permanent sources of waters (permanent acquifers, both shallow and deep). All together it forms 1 of only 3 places, including Galadi and Buhodle, with permanent water in the waterloss Hawd. That's why Duuban has something so remarkable resembling 1st world type of water equity---free flowing public piped system entirely for livestock watering.
