Someone in London is the best options , there are hundreds of young Isaaq students in King's college London , that can visit both the national archives and British library at Kew and Royal Geographical . Never even mind the archives and the British library of Asia and Africa studies, the Royal National Geographic Society and Hasting Ismay's photographic collections of Somaliland is enough . Photographs need to be sifted and chosen in person.
That's the Western part , the other part is the Somali oral history , and that is even more complicated , for 3 years I tried to get in contact with one Adan Madobe elder a cousin of the Mullah , his mother and the Mullah's mother were sisters. I had to give up after many broken promises the old man lives in the Hawd and rarely comes to Burco. I also tried to contact the surviving son of Sheekh Axmed Kulan the Dervish poet , he lives in Gudmo-biyo-Cas very remote area , the last surviving descendant of reer Shabeel died in 2007 before I had the chance to interview him in London , now am waiting for one of the descendants of Sheekh Cusmaan its been months since he promised he will e-mail me some materials.
Maxamed Oomane the last supreme court judge of somaliland a memorizers of GabayXoog and Saalax Ma-Lay-Diray poetry had broken his promise to release mterials to me in 2011 , when I sent a man to fetch it he transferred the martials to another sacad yoonis author wanna be for money. One Habar Jeclo elder bequeathed from his father a collection of written poetry by GabayXoog, Xasan Dalab and Nuur Dheere , all three isaaq poets who had exchanged poetry with the Dervish and within themselves total 60 poems, after 2 years of negotatioons and even a book deal with Red Sea publishing the old man out of greed backed off from the deal and claimed his house burned and the martials were lost. Iam telling you this to show you how Isaaq are the most useless human beings when it comes to the fight for a historical stolen legacy. And those are just few examples I can go on and on and tell you about the late Siciid Cilmi Hoori a useless sacad yoonis and the great great grandson of GabayXoog , when I talked with him in 2010 he even hid the fact that GabayXoog was his great great grandfather only after he died couple years ago did I come to know that fact. Nin awowgii aasaya weeye isaaqu.
