First the writer is NOT asking a question, and its not even in a question format so I fail to see were you got that from.

This piece is describing how Mursal came to Marexaan in 1916 and asked them for help in his newly found rebellion against the British, but the Marexaan said no because they did not forget how he COLLABORATED with the BRITISH in 1913 to fight against them.

This clearly states that Mursal and the cawliyahan started their rebellion in 1915, so do explain to us how was he/could have led Marexaan into fighting the British when the Marexaan were fighting way before him, and he was even on the side of the British when they were fighting him?
Other important things we need to note:
[quote]The Aulihan chief and “holy man” came to the EAP [EAST AFRICAN PROTECTURE] after work-
ing for the Italian Benadir Company and running amiss of the Italian colonial
a d m i n i s t ra t i o n . ‘A b d u r rahman Mursaal briefly served the Kismaayo administration after 1896, when the British sent him and 18 constables to establish a customs post at Serenli. He became a leader of an Ogaden rebel-
lion in British territory in 1898, however, and was involved in the death of the Jubaland subcommissioner, A. C. W. Jenner in late 1900. Nevertheless, the Reer Waffatu chief WAS SOON WORKING WITH THE BRITISH AGAIN
