Marehan history is divided into 3 periods

[Eaglehawk]

having looked into marexaan history, i have noticed that 3 periods stand out

the 3 periods are:

13 century-14 century( our own Carolingian period)

Emir Abadir muuse muuse ( somali charles the great)
Boqor maxamed daud (last king of the daarood and grandson of Emir abadir)

15 century- 16 century(the dynastic age )

imam Ahmed Gurey (Master of the first Conquest)
Emir Nuur (Master of the Second Conquest)

king of kings hirabu (supreme leader of the somali)

20th century (modern age)

president maxamed siyaad barre



*remember between 16 and 20 century, there was the age of conquest, when the marexaan started to conquer the south just like europeans were conquering the new world, I divide this period into two.
first period i call the age exploration(guuri era ) and then the age of conquest(galti era )

horta wan ku salamaay salaanka islaamka, taarikdha beesha sade waxa ugu hor yimid markay nugaal degaan marka bay ka dhoofayn ila iyo Ximan. waxa weeye "ximan era" where beesha settled from galkacyo to hiiraan, markas bay galbeedka tageen inkasto badan. don't forget the Ximan era where we fought italian infidels and their Hobyan/keenadiid troops.

granpa salaanta wa ka gaday ugaas
I would put ximan history under the age of conquest and age of exploration that is between 16 and 20 century


we consider the period between 26 januari- 1991 and October 14, 2010 as the dark ages

Eaglehawk I wouldn't call the fall of the regime to 2010 dark ages that's a bit of an exaggeration, beesha sade accomplished key objectives during what I would call "Recovery/Rehabilitation" stage.

We accomplished 5 goals:

1. Stranglehold on Kismaayo, undisputed owners.
2. Friendly relations with the US/Ethiopia
3. Exemplified our political genius with the creation of Jubbaland
4. Gave hope to Somalia via our son Farmaajo
5. Create a buffer between Hutus via Digil Mirifle empowerment.

The history of Marehan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marehan

Marehan Sultanate

Between the 17th and 18th centuries, the Marehan Sultanate was an important sultanate, which extended from Bender Ziyade on the Gulf of Aden to beyond Ras el-Khail on the Indian Ocean, or much of northern Somalia.Its Marehan constituents are recorded as having played a major role in Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi's campaigns against Ethiopia during the 16th century. The commander of the Somali forces and the closest deputy of the Imam was a Marehan commander, Garad Ahmed bin Hirabu. The Marehan helped push westward into the plains of Jijiga and farther, helping destabilize the highland Christian empire. Evident in these battles were the Somali archers, namely the Marehan and the Gerri archers, through whom al-Ghazi was able to defeat the numerically superior Ethiopian Army that consisted of 16,000 cavalry and more than 200,000 infantry.

Nearing the 19th century, the Marehan sultanate declined and withdrew from the Nugaal area and became confined to the Gedo and Galgadud regions.The Marehan were also the allies of the Somali hero Sayyid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, and fought against the British. In a boast of Hassan, he declares his power and reach is such that he can climb even the highest trees that exist; the trees of the Marehan. This is meant to signify that Hassan is so powerful that he even has the support of the powerful Marehan and only they, out of the rest of the Somalis, can aptly describe the reach of his power. As early as 1850, the Marehan were recorded moving into Jubaland.

[grandpakhalif]

"To the east the Somalis were once more on the move. By 1850, one of the Darod Somali groups, the Marehan crossed the Juba in force. In 1865 they went on to break the Tana Galla [sic] and by 1880 had turned on the Boran. Pagan peoples in this region were now being dominated by Muslims, and peasants by nomads from the north."[5]

Wallahi Marehan wa rageedi, they enslaved the Pagans and then eliminated them from Koonfuria.

granpa I consider everthing after siyaad and before farmaajo as dark ages because it was uncivilized period were the likes of sheik sharif are called president and sharif hassan as minister of finance instead of hustler

remember granpa after the fall of rome, europe had many successive empires but non ever managed to eclipse the glory of rome and that’s why; even with our glorious military adventures and us defeating all clans plus the birds and the fish in the sea, we could not match our ancestors glory during the Glorious 3 periods.

When mr farmaajo came, we entered a whole new era and we are now in farmaajo era or the age of reconstruction and weather this will be worse then the dark ages or better then the glorious 3 periods, we have to wait and see it
.
I have changed the modern age to the age of revolution so the “3 glorious periods” combined with the ages of conquest and exploration and dark ages & age of reconstruction, would look like this

My favourite is the 19 century move to southern Somalia, the guri/galti period was especially important, I sometimes dream about that time, being a amaanduul armed with my rifle on horse back riding with 100 men from my immediate sub-clan, going from one village to another, plundering the local savage heathens, taking their lives stock and their women, carrying the Daraawiish banner and attacking British stations and outpost, slaying their explorers and spies. Visiting rival clans and provoking them into combat and taking control of their land demading tax and tribute to be payed if they want to continue grassing the land, declaring war on them if they are stupid enough to ally with the British or Italians.


from what I read that is how it was to be Marehan in the 18-19 century, absolutely incredible.



swagg!!

Eaglehawk, you need to pay attention to Marehan history between 1960-69 as well, also the 1950-60 period. Some people have this wrong perception of tolka during those periods, they even go as far as to think Marehan were not involved in the politics of the nation prior to the Kacaan, when the reality is Marehan is one of the most active tribes in every aspect of Somali history.
