As for access through geographical proximity and intermarriage then there are several Isaaq tribes who heavily intermarry with daaroods and live in close proximity to them.
Use your common sense. Why don't you just do us all a favour and admit that you're pulling these "facts" out of your ass? You have no clue where these reports actually came from because for the most part, no somali source is cited. What you have is basically the words of a colonialists who provides zero references, and you just run with it whenever it conforms to your tribal biases and reject it when it contradicts them.
You're a propagandist, not an objective researcher.
I have papers that refer to the "Edoors" basically as immoral barbarians who live in a state of anarchy, while they praise Warsangeli for being civilised. I'm sure you will scrutinize their authenticity and question their reliability once I post them though... Lol..
Who was talking about Warsangali???? all of a sudden you pull your small sub clan's and inject it into a general discussion about the veracity of colonial reports/intelligence gathering!! for your information the British had a full presence in Las Qori and full access to your half Bunjabi sultan so much that they knew his illegitimate origin as far back as the early 1900 , that he was the bastard son of a Garaad Cali's wife and an Indian trader. All their servant , soldiers , and informants hailed form that particular clan.
Refering to some H.Y as savage and some Warsangali seamen as civilized amounts to nothing,.
I used Warsangeli to illustrate a point sxb.
As for the Suldaan, then his origin was never in dispute and his lineage is known. The insult to his lineage certainly did not come from a Warsangeli. Most likely it came from one of your hateful ancestors. Again, use a bit of critical thinking. Somalis place a great deal of importance upon lineage, especially the lineage of a tribal chief. You would have to be retarded to believe in this stupid fairytale.
Do you realise that his mother was from your tribe? She was Musa Carre of HY. You accuse your own grandmother of adultery to score a cheap point. That is very shameful.
What do you have to say about this accounts? Was your tribe naturally dishonest?
It is worthy of remark that in this tribe theft
is looked upon with abhorrence; and though, in the event of a
wreck, the natives lvould doubtless consider it fair to plunder,
still during my stay amongst them, though many a tempting
opportunity of pilfering occurred, not an article was lost. To
call a man a thief is a deadly insult, to be washed out by
blood alone. Pity it is that the Somali tribes of the Edoor
have not the same prejudice in favour of honesty.
