This is what Lt C.J.Cruttenden wrote about Ogaden, Caravans in Berbera. 1848

The kafilas from the banks of the " Webbe " Shebeyli, from
the small province of Gananeh to the south of the above river,
and from Ogahden, pass through the country of the Habev
Gerhajis on their way to Berbera. Excepting the slave-
kafila from Abyssinia, these are the most valuable caravans of
the season, bringing ivory from the Galla triVjes of Sidama,
south of the Webbe Gananeh, ostrich feathers, myrrh, and
frankincense. They frequently exceed 2000 camels in number,
and are well guarded by the men of Ogahden, who may always
be recognised amidst the crowd at Berbera, by the red colour
of their robes, produced, as they all declare, by the fine red dust
peculiar to their country

Your love of Cruttendon is fanatical. Would you like me to gift you a version of the 1848 original print of Cruttendon's "Memoir on the Western or Edoor tribes inhabiting the
Somali Coast of N.E. Africa : with the southern branches
of the family of Darrood, resident on the banks of the
Webbi Sheb Eyli, commonly called the River Webbi stamped by the British Museum?

I don't really understand what kind of validation you are looking for. It says the cagdheer were the second most important customers of Berbera after Abyssinians. Even today 2023 it's still the same.

Inaad reer miyyyi cawlcawlan ahaydeen gaalkuba sawkaa sheegay , ma waxaan badawnimo ahayn baanu idinku sheegnay. Kkkkk , berigii hore cagdheer Tu badawnimada waa Ku faani jireen , hada waxa soo baxay yar yar intii ogaaden Ku qaxoontiga ahaa magaalooyinka waaweyn Ku dhashay oo badawnimada cay u haysta.

Ogaadenaw aqbala walaalayal dad badaw ah baad ahayden compare to the iidoor, idina weligiinba waad naga xoolo badnaydeen , xoolaha waxa laydinkaga bedelan jiray , wax macmacaan oo aydaan hore u arag, sida sonkor , timir berigii danbena qaad kaanu idin barnay , meesha kollay dhillooyina way lahayd . Markaasa weliba buudi madhan laydinka Kirayn jiray jiray. Magaalada waa laydinkaga faro dhuudhuubna indr laakiin miyiga niman laandheerayala waa ahaydeen oo dagaalama.

Ma garanayo inay aqoon la'aani kuu gaynayso iyo inay is yeel yeel kaa tahay!! Berbera markaan tagno, Iiddoor ma aanaan waxba ka iibsan jirin ee Hindi iyo Carab waxooda, Doomo ku haysta ayaan wax ka iibsan jirnay.
Iiddoorku, waxba ma iibin jirin ee dilaalay buu ka ahaa. Siiba. Niman uu ku sheegay, Ayal Yunis.
Berberana, Magaalo ma ahayn ee intaa Baddu furan tahay ayay camirnaan jirtay.
Garxajis oo idiinku Laandheeraysana waaba Anagan sii dhex marayna ee uu Geeliisa dhaqanayo, sida Anaga.
Adiga, Reerkiinuna waabad ugu liidateen Iiddoorka oo xitaa Geel ma aydaan lahayn ee Adhiilayaal baad ahaydeen.
Anagu, Geel jirenimada waan ku faanaa, waana wax wanaagsan laakiin qofkii, xumaayee, i hoos joogay inuu ii faano, dee ka aqbali maayo.

Dooddiinu waxay ku qotontay inaad, Anagoo Geela dhex joogna, idinku inaad Dhar noo keenteen, Anana aanaan ganacsi aqoonin. Qoraalkanaa, beeninaya, beenta aad isku shubteen.
Gaalka Cadina, Badawnimo aan cid kaga duwanayn naguma sheegin ee dhiiranaan iyo Berbera dhexdeeda, ayuu nagu tilmaamay

At that time habaryonis were the rulers of berbera, sharmaarke Salah pasha ruled berbera , and he defenitly gave you the insurance to pass through the habar yoonis without any problem. There is no way you can trade in berbera without isaaq protection. Use your common sense .

Unlike the cagdheer we had both badaw and reer magaal. And our land was smaller before our conquests of daarood land , so when kids grow up they would go to berbera , then cadan. It's still the same. Nothing changed ,

Sharmarke Salah, ruled Zeila on behalf of the Sharif of Mokha and no Ogaden went or knew Zeila. There was nothing to rule in Berbera. No permanet structure and no settlers. There was simply a trading season, from October to April. And I believe the Edoor, nomads closest to Berbera were the so called Habar Awal group of Ayal Yunis.

The Edoor were weak at that time and feared Ogaden. They could not disturb the Ogaden, trading Caravans to Berbera.

Sharmake ruled both berbera and zeilac. He was pretty much in control of the whole somaliland coast and it's trade routes.

In peacetime you where relying on them to trade your commodities. In wartime you were under their mercy. They even pushed you beyond the River shabeelle. The fact that you can pass their territory shows you how effective sharmaarke was to create peaceful atmosphere for trading . It's not because habaryonis feared you .

1. Sharmaarke Saalax was not Habaryoonis Chief
2. He was a Habaryoonis, lone wolf hustler who for however or reason, made personal connections with and gained the trust of the Sharif of Mokha
3. He had no influence, outside Zeila
4. Berbera up to Bulohar was a Habar Awal, nomads area of influence
5. The Edoor were able to defeat us in early 20th century because the English armed them with modern weapons which we did not have at the time

"The Ogaden constituted a nuisance for the British. Under an assertive chief, Murgan bin Yusuf , they made a show of sovereignty over the territory from the Afmadu wells to Kismayu . They lived in wretched huts, had few possessions , but put on a great show of dignity and bearing , with their white robes and deference to the higher principles of Islam"

quarters of their vessels, elbowed themselves into a prominent
position in the front tier of craft in the harbour, and, by their
superior capital, cunning, and influence, soon distanced all
competitors.

During the height of the fair, Berbera is a perfect Babel in
confusion, as in languages ; no chief is acknowledged, and the
customs of bygone years are the laws of the place. Disputes
between the inland tribes daily arise, and are settled by the
spear and dagger, the combatants retiring to the beach at a
short distance from the town, in order that they may not
disturb the trade. Long strings of camels are arriving and
departing day and night, escorted generally by women alone,
until at a distance from the town ; or an occasional group of
dusky and travel- worn children marks the arrival of the slave-
kafila from Hurrur and Efat.

At Berbera the Guragi and Hurrur slave-merchant meets
his correspondent from Bussorah, Baghdad, or Bunder Abbas;
and the savage Gidr Beersi, with his head tastefully orna-
mented with a scarlet sheepskin in lieu of a wig, is seen peace-
fully bartering his ostrich-feathers and gums with the smooth-
spoken Banian from Porebunder, who, prudently living on
board his ark, and locking up his puggree, which would
infallibly be knocked oif the instant he was seen wearing it,
exhibits but a small portion of his wares at a time, under a
miserable mat-shed on the beach.

By the end of March the fair is nearly at a close, and craft
of all kinds, deeply laden, and sailing generally in parties of
three or four, commence their homeward journey. The Soori
boats are generally the last to leave, and by the first week in
April Berbera is again deserted, nothing being left to mark
the site of a town lately containing 20,000 inhabitants, beyond
bones of slaughtered camels and sheep, and the frame-work
of a few huts carefully piled on the beach in readiness for the
ensuing year. Beasts of prey now take the opportunity to
approach the sea. Lions are commonly seen at the town-well
during the hot weather; and in April last year, but a week
after the fair had ended, I observed three ostriches quietly
walking on the beach.
