Who Wrote This

Of all the races of Africa, there cannot be one better to live among than the most difficult, the proudest, the bravest, the vainest, the most merciless, the friendliest: the Somalis. Every individual Somali fights to stay himself, a person… The Somali fumed under discipline and loved the irregular life, the scattered patrol and the lone effort which might bring him to individual notice, to recognition for what he might achieve on his own

.

I got this from one of Hawdians Posts , it says its written by British General on an Expedition to Somalia ( Somaliland ) I find it Interesting how he Describe Somalis .
do you find his analysis accurate though ... specially the bold line .

I disagree with a lot of the description. Individualism did not exist in the old Somalia. Every man belonged to a clan and didn't exploit those boundaries. Whatever he did, he did with his tribesmen.

Yea I kinda thought so , But then Again maybe he is depicting a picture of a Geeljire .. and its well known Geeljires are loners and individualistic by nature .
