You would assume that it is HSM and Ismail Omar Guelleh who are laying siege on Laascaanod and not Muuse Biixi

[Sauron]

The mad mullah killed women children and unarmed men, his biggest victims were the dhulos themselves who run to the British and joined them in order to survive.

When he fled like the coward he was, his tea was still hot in his tent, he eventually died disgraced in a hole.

I ask the Somali people, was that man really a hero?

[ReturnOfMariixmaan]

The British are long gone, but guess who is still here today? Yes, you guessed it our Ethiopian friends who are now at the final stages of putting any notion of a Somali state in the history books..

I answer your question, you answer mine.

if we can clearly see today Somalis are driven by tribalism. Would our deeply tribalist forum user Volatge go and leave his tol to the mercy of the Ethiopians to come and fight to free Isaaq in Somaliland. No he would never. That's the short and end of it.
I understand Somalis want a hero but he was no hero sxb. Even Godane is a better option because he did not do tribalism or take another mans wife by force.

I share that to say to you, you’ve been punished for your double standards and tribalism

George Washington has statues for leading the American revolution, but enslaved humans.

Mahatma Ghanda has statues for fighting for India's independence, but he was a racist

.

The Sayid objectively speaking led a {and the only} "supra-Somali" war against European colonialism and he was no Saint as I have said myself.

History is complicated

The Tribalism part is the only down side but as for his struggles they stand. He did wrong himself in the tribalism angle hence he did bad and good because a holy nobleman shouldn't involve himself in such lowly adventures or activities

Say what you want about the Mullah.....his movement birthed Somali nationalism and irredentism in the Nugaal.

[Khalid Ali]

He was never the father of Somali nationalism also reviosisim the mad mullah and his deervishes never believed in Somali nimo they wanted to conquer kenya Hadaan wayey calan laa ii nashiro tan iyo nairobi . Nairobi maxa ka yaala na Somali ba leh. This guy was an Islamist terrorist that’s what he said in a poem

Hadaan waayey calan la ii nasharo tan iyo nairobi. Miyaan waayey naamuus janno iyo daalac iyo naasi

His poem is evident to his intentions
Dervishes always screamed darawish al saalixyaw never ever did they mention Somali or any struggle
