Marehan centers in Doollo, Ethiopia > than some current districts--Yamaarugley, Cilaanle, Duuban, Urmadag, Ramalo, Qorof

Post by Gubbet »

This follows the topic below where I identified some interesting Marehan settlements in Doollo [and Korahe], Somali Region, Ethiopia where even many Marehan themselves probably cannot point to in a map:
Kugudharabtay, Waal, Bali Jibra'il, Badrol Dadis, Hananwaylod, Kunaso, Abda'ale, Higlowayn, Garasle

https://www.somalinet.com/forums/viewto ... 8#p5033990
I have taken the map in the above topic and added examples of some locations where the settlement pattern is so pronounced compared to many of the presently existing recognized districts throughout Somali Region and Doollo in particular---one cannot help but suspect Marehan Somalis are intentionally being politically disenfranchised by being purposefully kept without district recognition.

6 of these locations [in Doollo, not Korahe] added to the previous map

Yamaarugley

Of course we are. The natural royalty is always hated by the French and British. French you kill their brain will submit. The British indirect rule with laangaabs will use their resentments against you

Saddam, I imagine the disenfranchisement at this stage is probably less active Ethiopia Federal Government policy from Addis and more Somali Regional administration from Jigjiga.

And here we see the irony at the heart of the 5 star Somali irredentism movement that has poisoned relations between Ethiopia and Somalia in the past.

And the irony implicates Somali administrators in Jigjiga who have coopted Ethiopian authority to keep Marehan Somalis disenfranchised in the vast eastern territory bordering central Somalia for no reason other than intra-Somali tribal malice.

The fictionalized idealism of Somali irredentism and ethnic nationalism juxtaposed against the menacing reality of Somali clannish resentment and vindictiveness.

Ethiopia isn’t the problem. We’re both victims of western intrigue. As much I don’t like their civil war. They aren’t hunting us. We all know who fears us internationally if we blow. Cuz we stick to the G code:

2. Duuban -- Majority Rer Diini; Celi
3. Urmadag -- Majority Celi; Wagardhac
4. Cilaanle -- Overwhelmingly Rer Diini
5. Ramalo -- Majority Wagardhac; Celi

Most Somalis are desperate to be part of Ethiopia while We, Ogadens are desperate to be freed from Ethiopian occupation and have done everything possible with our meagre resources, to become free. We have sacrificed both blood and treasure to that effect and will continue to do so until We are free. God willing

1. The earliest GPS reference to Marehan Somalis;

[GPS as in actual coordinates; 1863]

2. A small example of the overwhelming ethnic identity feature of this land as represented in historical maps;

[Warder settlement circled dark for reference]

3. The land is the same, the people are the same; it is time political representation on the Ethiopian side of the border reflected both history and present.

Not sure about your claim that your beel ey geed dheer iyo mid gaabanba u kortey iney shake off gareyso axmaaro yoke, laakiin mid baa kuu hubaa, all skinny clans in the region, without exception, are not only envious, but would leave no stone unturned attaining the "maqaam" you currently occupy as the favorite b!tch of our raw-meat eating overlords.

Didn't we establish an armed Organisation in our name, fight Ethiopia without allies, relying only on our Clansmen for everything needed to wage war and only surrounded by enemies from all sides for 24 years? Weren't Somalis in the Horn, from Djibouti to Mogadishu, collaborating with Ethiopia against Us(their supposedly fellow Somalis) and rounding up our refugees as well as operatives and handing them over to the Ethiopian regime?

Don't forget,all the Clan based, armed groups that fought the Somali government in the 1980s, like the SSDF, SNM and USC had bases in Ethiopia. They had Moral, Material, Military training and Political backing from Ethiopia which was next door Neighbor and a number of Countries allied with Ethiopia, like Libya and Israel.
We had none of that. On the contrary, we had enemies that were baying for our blood, surrounding us from all sides. The Habeshas and the Somalis, actively collaborated to have Us defeated.

The reason we are putting so much effort in Jubbaland is we don't want to be at the mercy of any other Somali in Somalia and the Somali government. We also want to use Somalia's muscle and International legitimacy to fight Ethiopia and ultimately kick them out of our land.

We, Ogadens will never leave Ethiopia at peace as long as it occupies our land.

My mother was born in Geladi woreda, my father in Kelafo woreda; two of my grandparents were born in Shilabo woreda, and one born in Warder woreda---all in Ethiopia. The 4th grandparent was born right near the border in Galkayo district of Somalia hardly outside the Ethiopian border.

Both of my paternal and maternal ancestral "villages" are still in Ethiopia existing to this day.

Both of my parents and all 4 of my grandparents are Marehan Somalis.

With the exception of Kelafo, itself not far from my paternal historical land still in Shilabo today, all of the land implicated by what I shared above is entirely land that is singularly and uniquely featured in this topic as historical and present equity of Marehan Somalis.

It is a display of the most malevolent form of clannish resentment and even aggression to impose an alien interference between a Man and the audit of his just birthright and inheritance.

This imposition being equally as egregious and unforgivable either attempting to contest the inheritance itself as it is attempting to contest the audit of it.
