Well then stop trying to pass off such fantastical stories as real arguments. Defend the man on his merits of what he did do, if you know them. Don't go telling us some story of what he did to your great great so and so and use the argument that since you can forgive him why can't we? This isn't about your personal stories or forgiving things that had nothing to do with you, it's insulting to use this logic.Mondey wrote:not only u disrespected ur dead grand aunt, ur also mocking ppls tragediesBlackVelvet wrote:![]()

My point is people are saying they killed/looted/ran sacked villages etc and thus deserves no respect but I disagree, I like to put myself in their shoes, they were probably hungry, thirsty, probably lost alot of men that day and so on, but that shouldnt be a reason to paint the whole struggle as loose canons out to hunt their own people.

You can't omit or add false facts into history to make sure people reach the conclusion you want them to reach. If you think he is a hero then well and good but don't lie to us saying that he never killed innocent people or all the people he killed were traitors who refused to help their noble brothers. I can just imagine Al Shabab writing history like that some decades from now if they had their way. Similarly it would also be incorrect to omit the fact that he did fight against the colonisers.Advo wrote:BV
I don't think ur clansmen at that time lived in the north but it was common to treat the darawiish soldiers and welcome them or be at their mercy, as for my great great grandma, well she refused to slaughter some of her lifestock for a group of soldiers that demanded such request and she resisted in the process getting wounded with a knife or a spear or a sword but she was wounded almost losing her life.

.˛Hajjı Müsa
Frah˛ (here called by the nickname of ‘Igarreh’), the most trusted
and highest ranking Somali official in the Protectorate administration,
on whom he, in other letters, often heaped scorn. Risaldar-
Major Müs Fra˛, had started his colonial career as a policeman
in Aden. He had joined the Protectorate staff as a member of the
mounted police and distinguished himself during the British expeditions
against the Sayyid. In 1906 he became a ‘native chief politician,
and in 1912 he became ‘Chief Native Assistant’, . For Jardine, Müs Fra˛ was the
Sayyid’s counterpart, as he was in the pro-government camp
what the Sayyid was in the anticolonial resistance movement.4
Jardine, Mad Mullah, 77-8, 311-12; Sheik-Abdi, Divine Madness, 186-7
and PRO CO 535, vol. 42.
"A remarkable somali , Risaaldr Major Haji Musa Farah led a Somali army of 450 rifles a hundred mile across the Waterless Haud, picking up some five thousand local tribesmen on his way, attacking the Dervish camps and capturing several thousand camels and Sheep. This triumph was a blow to the sayyid, as his forces moved always with their families and depended on their livestock meat and milk."

Sweet Presents
"Sixthly, we desire from you that you are with us in every
way, even with assistance and support against our enemies at any
time; we will be with you like that. We also ask from you kind
and gentle treatment and presents of all kinds and variety as your
generosity and rank allow. We take pleasure in all that you asked
from me. This [is what I have to say] and
peace."

One imagines a tall, stately man, with a commanding presence, thin, clear-cut features, resolute mouth and chin, eyes glowing with the fire of religious fanaticism. It comes as a shock to us to hear that the Mullah is not in the least like this. I cannot give a faithful portrait of him, for I have never had the pleasure of meeting him, and apparently he does not encourage photographers at his Court. But there is one fact which completely dispels all our preconceived notions of what he ought to be like. The horrible truth is that he has grown too fat. This may be mere vulgar obesity caused by overfeeding, but, according to another report, it is the outcome of a peculiar disease, reported to be fairly common among the Dolbahanta tribe, which results in an abnormal swelling of the flesh, beginning at the ankles and gradually extending to the whole body. Whatever may be the cause, the Mullah has been afflicted with a superfluity of girth for several years past, and is said to require six men to lift him on to his horse. Probably this is the reason why he has changed his tactics, and decided that he can no longer rely upon a policy of elusiveness, but must be prepared to resist capture by other means. He is reported to have built a mighty fortress round his haroun at Taleh, with walls twelve feet thick, and there it is surmised that he would stand his ground if an expedition were sent against him.
