Fukkin guy doesn't know even that I don't agree with cusmaan mohmouds to much, they have ruled from Bari to the hawiyes of galgaduud
They have had presidents and prime minister and great leaders. WHAT HAS YOUR CLAN SOMALI2003 PRODUCED? [/quote]Ashlee, Let me give them the benefit of the doubt or favorable judgment of your claims. You getting things mixed up in order to manifest very illusive comparisons. Nevertheless I see you are like the humble servant kissing the hand that backslapped him. Or are you guys like lizards in a pugnacious kiss of death.
Let me begin with an argument from the political privileges in the 60s since that is the time span in which most of your clansmen recall as their best time ever. There were these prominent men who had formed a close alliance: Qable, Sharmake, Cali Garad and Zoobe. Qable and Sharmarke had been very close friends and it is Qable who had indeed promoted the reputation of Sharmarke. They both argued against the promotion of clan interests , for that was the only way to seemingly garner both reputed recognition and popular support.
Haji Mohamed, the genius Warsangeli politician , led SYL for 8 years and was a Soviet client. In 1858, when they split with other members that resulted in his resignation, he formed the Greater Somalia League and demanded more Daarod members into the SYL. (The split occured as a result of his prolonged stay in Egypt) Besides, there were ideaological differences. Haji Mohamed insisted on a more militant Pan-Somali policy. By the way, he was the father of Pan-Somalism. In addition, his party adopted a Pro-Egyptian policy that identified with Egypt on international issues. He later launched his biggest campaign by opening Radio in Cairo.
I will give you evidence of what has happened to majeerteen clansmen. They were ridiculed and faced their biggest challenge in the face of Hawiye. Haji Musa boqor was forced to resign unfairly after arguing with Abdulahi Isse. Then, the elections of the Legislative Assembly took place and Abdilahi Isse's and Hawiye supporters won the election and Abdirashid was expelled from SYL. It took months for him to be readmitted due to the pressure of the GSL.
Thirdly, As I said before, Qable held two terms of office. One as a Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Planning. This two positions were the most important positions since they required expertiness on international relations , shrewd diplomatic skills and adminstrative background in our nation-building process.
Also the Greater Somali League attracted considerable left-out majeertens in its sphere of influence.
"The Greater Somalia League seemed to possess a vigorous organization and a considerable following, especially in Mogadishu and among the Darod of the Majertern and lower Juba provinces" (From the book Somali nationalism).
We can argue from History, Education, or whatever Category you may wish.
