I Will Not Tolerate Marexaan Slander
Posted: Sat May 22, 2021 12:07 pm
Lately I've been seeing this denigration of Marexaan and it's reached a crescendo, I didn't know these people were actually being serious, I thought it was just your typical kaftan we've all been accustomed to. Yeah, like I'm going to let this slander of my reer ayeeyo go without calling it out.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, people talking, debating and constantly referencing you - even calling you a coward or weak - is a form of POWER. If I go on Twitter it's MX, I go on the forums it's MX, I go on YouTube it's MX.
If you are langaab, and I mean TRULY langaab, best believe no one or anyone is talking about you, where is this so called vitriol aimed at leelkase, Awrtable, or Geri Kombe? If MX are langaab, then maxaa ku haayo sxb? It seems like these people are trying to convince themselves if anything, the irony is lost with some folks.
3 things to consider;
1. When the USC forces were expelled from galkacyo, Majeerteen, Dhulbanhante and Leelkase promptly turned their guns on MX, because they were deemed a THREAT (it was theorized they were going to mount an attack, due to having some sway of influence of other darood clans post government collapse, it was clear MJ was weary of this). It wouldn't be a necessity for a langaab to contend with several clans - Abdullahi Yusuf (AUN) saw to it that MX must NOT form a base of operations in North Mudug, and this was to be achieved by any means, this after MX refused to join Puntland.
2. We can lie to each other all we want, but the fact of the matter is Marexaan took Kismayo from Kab iyo Lax, and held it for years, that is called PROJECTION of power, having the means and fortitude to occupy territory for a specified amount of time, no 'langaab' can do that. As a result of their occupation of Kismayo, a Kablaxa pact - think for one second, THIS IS HARTI AND ABSAME WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE - was formed in defence of Kismayo and our interests, mind you this pact has the economic and military backing of nation state Kenya. Do you think these contingencies would have been required for clans such as Dhulbahante or Leelkase? I very much doubt it.
3. If some of you recall that night we found out Farmaajo, a MX president was announced, many were elated, some humiliated, landers were shellshocked, others cried as if a curse was lifted, some claimed it was the end of Somalia. The emotion that election elicited was noted by EVERYONE, Somali online activity exploded in a frenzy, be it forums, news sites or social media. Name me ONE clan that would have caused a commotion like that, you can't.
Listen to me warya, Marexaan was your president,
TWICE.
He has been and probably always will be a thorn on my side, we've butted heads, but he saved my ass from USC hordes in Mudug, and from Jess's cronies in the Jubas, and the same could be said for Ogaden, both good and bad, we've had our shifting alliances, but at the end of the day, MX and OG are my LANDHEER brothers. WE are the three pillars holding the house of darood up, if one crumbles, the rest falls.
And a little PSA to the MX brothers, welcome to the club, reminds of the days when some would swear up and down MJ had no fight in them, and that Garowe and bossaso would be captured soon enough, learn to take the hits and laugh at em, if they're taking about you, you're winning.
