The supreme Garaad, King of Kings, His Royal Majesty Garaad Jama Garaad Ali Garaad Jama Garaad Ali, House of Garaad Shirshore, King of the Dhulbahante, Ruler of the Hawd & Nugaal, Giver of justice, Defender of the faith & the faithful, vanquisher of the enemies of the Great Dhulbahante Kingdom. Master of the Dervish Grand Order, General of the Legions of Saciid. Long Live the King.

We use Garaadka Guud meaning supreme to differentiate him from the others, but they should be demoted to chiefs.

I don't understand somalis and this new thing about having many leaders.

Nigga shut the fuck up.

[Bandit]

is truly sad how his clans men sold him out and are the main ones who chase him around now while clueless isaaq like the one above brags about it

[JSL3000]

What's the dhulos garaad name the one that the mad mullah kilt because he was trying to side with british that was the most important chapter in dervishes history.

[Sharmarke91]

Dhulbahante needs just 1 garaad, the rest should be cheif caqiils. There is no point to having 15 different Garaads.

[JSL3000]

They use to only have one main garaad but the pass two decades it got out of hand now the garaad system is useless.

That was never the case mohamud garads had there own garad for centuries garad salaban was a garad since before the dervish

No thanks unless the bah ararsame garad is demoted the current garad might be tolerable but the previous garad had annoying love for isaaq

Um yes he was bah ararsame there the only ones who can be the original garad since the title is inherited from Dhulbahante.

[Sharmarke91]

There should be 1 dhulbahante garad, preferably the Bahrarsame garaad. all the primary lineages should have a chief caaqil and all the dia paying groups should a have caaqil, that way there would be some form of hierarchy. The garaad, chief caaqils and caaqils would then each have specific roles. but that''s just a dream of mine i don''t think that would ever get done lol.
