GREATEST SUBCLAN IN SOMALI HISTORY: SACAD MUSE
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2007 4:57 pm
I saw a thread attacking sacad Muuse so I thought I might as well put the factual record straight.
The sacad Musse, a subclan of Habr Awal are by far the most succesful Somali subclan of all times.
Firstly they built Hargeisa the only big city built by mainstream Somalis anywhere. They massively contributed to Berbera, by far the most succesful Somali sea port anywhere. They dominated the Somali trade, praticularly the export trade: according to World Bank reports, Berbera contributed 80% of all Somalia exports in 1982.
In fact the World Bank could have chosen anytime in recorded Somali History and Berbera would have still emerged thus. And anyone will know this means sacad Muse trade.
They manned the first Radio Station that speaks Somali(Radio Kudu, 1942), planted the first independent Somali flag in the `Beerta Xorriyada' of Hargeisa; manned the BBC Somali Service when it was established, built the three tallest buildings in Mogadishu; almost single-handedly established all modern Somali art and produced the most memorable set of polticians, architects, engineers, educators and broadcasters.
They produced Ali Jirdeh(Architect, Jubba Hotel), Jirdeh Hussein Businessman(Jirdeh Building, Sei Piano); Mohamed Jirdeh(Hotelier, Sahafi Hotel), Omar Arteh(The most succesful Somali Diplomat ever), Gahayr the most modernising Somali educator.
And no need to mention the artists - they dominated the sector. Even the non-Sacad Muuse artists of Somali fame came from the Sacd Muuse hub of Hargeisa. Mention any Somali Great and it will lead to Hargeisa which is afterall an almost exclusive Sacad Muuse town.
So respect to Sacad Muuse's.
