The Mighty Dulbahante

[paidmonk]

The mighty Dulbahante clan of the Hawd and Nugaal valley, one of the most important and pivotal clans in Somali history. The clan without whose support no Somali leader can ever hope to harness his true power. Every Somali leader has gone to lengths to gain the support and approval of the Dulbahante clan, like no other.

From the Sayyid to Siyaad to Abdiqassim & the fake governments to follow, the Dulbahante have always been a necessary hand to have among your ranks. There is no corner from which the Dulbahante name is not heard. From the swamps of Ras Kambooni to the beaches of Benadir and the sweeping sands of Mudug, the Dulbahante are on the minds of everyone from the local barber to the plotting despot, almost like a brand of its own.

True,

But Which Other Clans Are Also Important ?

[paidmonk]

The most important I would say politically are MJ, HG, Dhullo, Marexaan, Ogaden and Abgaal, but tonight its about Dhullos.

What Would Your Top 3 Be ?

Top 3 Most Important Clans Geographically, Politically etc...etc ??

[paidmonk]

Top 3 are MJ, HG, and OG, it doesn't take my opinion to call that one. They have all-around advantage.

The other 3 enter the picture because Abgaal have good geography, and Marexaan/Dulbahante make good soldiers.

The noble Dhulbahante have played a key role in the history of Somalia. British, Italian, French and their Abbysianian allies considered the Dhulbahante a major oppositional power to their colonisation of the horn and interests. Dhulbahante fought against colonisation in battles such as Afbakayle, Beerdhiga, Cagaarwayne, Daratoole, Dayuuraddii, Fardhidin, Jidbaale and Ruugga. Historical evidence indicates that Dhulbahante were Mujahids that sacrificed their life and wealth for the Somali nation, they were the sole protector of greater Somalia.

The Dhulbahante was known as the most powerful and most feared tribe in Somalia. That reputation was solidified when Dhulbahante defeated many of they adversaries numerous times and were left as the undisputed masters of Northern Somalia, occupying the land from Jiidali in the north of Sanaag to Ceelcad near the Mudug border in the south. From Kiridh in the west to Xalin in the Nugaal valley where they bordered the Majeerteen.

the Dhulbahante never feared guns. The English could not reach them.. their fathers had driven Christians from these lands; and if an army was to attack them, they would assemble so many cavalry, and ride in such rapidity around them, that their gunners could not take aim..Dhulbahante are a nation who fight chiefly on horseback..Their horses are powerful and courageous..The abundance of horses in the Dhulbahante country and the prowess of the Dhulbahante as horsemen is recurring theme in Daraawish history, Drake-Brockman, a colonial civil servant during the Darwiish wars remarks on this in his book, British Somaliland:

"..the tribes which were, in all probability, the best off in horses were the Dulbahanta, and after them the Ogaden. At all events, most of those in a position to speak are agreed that the Dulbahantas are the best horsemen among the Somalis...This abundance of horses gave the Dhulbahante great strategic advantage which they pressed relentlessly. It allowed them to cover huge distances and defeat numerous other clans such as the H.Y"

Loool And where did they Defeat H.y. what Battle what year
all we know is That Dhulbahante Lost oog To habaryoonis And their only great poet samatar baxnaan was shot in the bals, And in ceerigabo They Submit to Gadhweyn.
The Dervish history is all overated Pure nonsense All kind of clans Were in the darwiish From adan madoobe to muuse ismacil And cali geri of the dhulbahante to Makahil and bahgeri And reer daahir of the hj.
