Something has changed. It is not even difficult to explain, but almost no one really understands substantively at the base what caused it.
The following earlier thoughts somewhat attempted to explain it and so I will repost it;
Murax-
If the fight against Muuse Biixi ever goes wrong, the only people Majeerteen expect to get help from---the ONLY people Majeerteen 100% believe will be their only lifeline--is Marehan. They will implicate the "Darod" name, use "Kablalax" against MX, they will even in that moment send ergo to both MX and OG, but every single Majerten 15 year old, forget their 50 year old, knows if it came to that point, it is either MX will come to them or they will perish. Wallahi.
Majerten dhaqluu ku jiray.
Look @ the way Yusuf is talking.
There was a sleeping, Irir giant that was dormant now interested in nothing but interfering in Somalia not even against "Darod" per see or even MJ but "Mohamuud Saleebaan."
That's with the Irir giant towards Mogadishu who seems to despise MJ more viciously and purposefully than even the MX of Darod or anyone else who daily sheds their blood.
MJ dhaqluu ku jiray and the absolutely selfishly unbothered and starkly "alien" stranger Madoobe has shown himself to be after what they did for him particularly when they have had to reface a long reality had sobered their political elite more than even their own layman know.
For the truth is "OG" in Somalia is like Digil and Mirifle in Irir v "Darod."
He is a "spectator."
OG is a "nominal" Darod where "Somalia" is concerned.
Mogadishu doesn't concern him, Mudug doesn't concern him, SSC and Hargeisa doesn't concern him, Gaalkacyo and Gelaadi grazing doesn't concern him, in fact HG, Hiraab, HAG, Isaaq, Irir bordering them, national equity infringements in Somalia btw Irir-Darod---none of that fundamentally concerns him whereas the Marehan boy near Nageyle on the Liibaan plains and the MJ boy in Baargaal looking down on Indian Ocean and the Dhulbahante boy in Widhwidh looking across the Cayn valley all equally and sharply look up and think the same thing whether the Hawiye on the coastal plains at Dhusamareb or the Isaaq at Caynabo are brought up and all equally internalize that border with Hawiye at Dhusamareb or that border with Isaaq at Caynaba is "their" border as Darod Somalia.
It is even not surprising that Cumar Jees and SPM were the ones who betrayed Darod in 1991 to "switch" to Caydiid.
Such a luxury.
Do you think Marehan could just frivolously "jump" to switch to Caydiid or Irir in 1991? Could the Majerteen? Could the Dhulbahante?
Cumar Jees didn't matter to Darod vs Irir in Somalia. His decision was HIM stating that! The whole fight was a 'video game' to him, even play acting. He had nothing substantively at stake. It was ''political' theatrics.
The Marehan was fighting for his home, his grazing, his life. The MJ the same. The Dhulbahante the same. They were fighting for Caabudwaaq and Baardheere, Luuq and Balanbale, Garacad and Gaalkacyo, Beyra and Dudub, Buuhoodle and Horufadhi, Xudun and Yagoori.
And so MJ knows if things ever go bad and Muuse gobbles them up, MX will shortly thereafter be gobbled up by Irir.
And so MJ knows MX will come to their aid and they are the only ones whom they can plan for backup in case it were required.
And so there is a very, very, very sober conversation taking place in which there is not just "regret" for what they did in Kismaayo and Madoobe, but acidic "disgust."
The nonsense that has been stated in this topic by the MX laymen, very similar to the MJ laymen, is nothing more than the unaware oo "dhaqlo ku jiro."
There is a very, very, very similarly "sober" conversation taking place in the Marehan elite that is just as evocative and nuanced about the frivolity of the old 'rivalry' btw them and MJ that looks more "childlike" and "juvenile" than anything else.
