Stop your Propoganda, The Dhulbahante Garaad was Against the british! he was poisened by them and accussed the dervishes. we didn't fall for it & 3 of sons became Garaads, 2 died for the Cause the third Darwiish Garaad died in the 50s..
So you are proud of Isaaqs being part of Darawiishta (who switched sides in couple of months) yet you praise the Gaalo they were fighting daily!! shut the fuck up..
For all the Dhulbahante, it was a choice between Freedom and Servitude, Degeneracy and Morality, Treachery and Loyalty. In short it was a choice between Right and Wrong. The land of the Somalis can only be ruled by Somalis and it was in the defense of the Somalis, their religion and culture that he waged a relentless war of liberation that lasted for two decades.
You dare insult a Dhulbahante Garaad about signing letters!! cajiib & this what your people did..
