check this out. While our great leader ina abdille hassn was fighiting clonial intruders in the north, other ogaden men were fighiting in the south trying to rid our land(somalia) of the white europeans.
I saw Mr
Jenner’s dead body. I saw them carry his head-it was stuck on a knife; they then tied it
to a rope and carried it about all day. 21
Ibrahim Guled reports that:
At 4 o clock in the morning on the 16th I saw a lot of Ogadens rush into Mr Jenners
camp; many men seized me and held me, and I saw the tents of Mr Jenner come
down. 19
Later the Ogadens killed several
African Police constables.
Wallace Blake was mentioned in Mr Jenner’s despatches to Sir Arthur
Hardinge when reporting on the Ogaden rebellion of 7th November 1898.
13 This particular episode of disruption started on March 22nd when
Ogaden warriors murdered three Arabs in protest against slave trading
restrictions
The Ogaden had been killing people (albeit in fairly small

Major Frederick Wallace Hastings Blake (usually known as Wallace
Blake) had a varied career in British Colonial Africa and the military and
civil prison service. He rose to some prominence as the man on the spot
that replaced Sub Commissioner Jenner 1 after his murder by Ogaden

Another tragedy early in the campaign served to illustrate the extremely
dangerous nature of the Ogaden Somali. While Wallace Blake was
serving as Provost Marshall in Kismayu, Lieut. Colonel Maitland, the
PMO was killed on March 16th 1901
Colonel Ternan had been tricked because Mursal
was not loyal to the British, he was the same Somali leader who
murdered Lieutenant Elliott and some fifty Constabularies at Sereneli on
the night of February 2nd 1915.
The quotes are endless.

mashallah to those great men who have sacrificed their lives for their country.
