Thread: How the poor scattered Dhulmahante lost most of their wells and pastures in Nugaal and Cayn due to the territory hungry Habar Jeclo. https://twitter.com/hawdka/status/1309633551193853952

As H.M Stationary Office in 1914 stated the Dhulmahante were based around Beer in the district of Burco. Beer is located approximately 20 miles east of Burco. Today its Habar Jeclo - Axmed Faarax territory.

Today the first Dhulmahante settlement on the eastern border of the Habar Jeclo is guumays. Mind you the distance between Beer and Guumays is nearly 100 miles. 100 miles of territory along “wadada dheer” lost by the Dhulmahante due to the Habar Jeclo.

Fast forwarding a few years the Dhulmahante were scattered around in Berbera they left their territory because of starvation and genocide upon their people by the Mullah. The pathetic story of two Dhulmahante girls who were sold for a sack of dates worth of £1.10 to the Isaaq.

A General Survey of the Somaliland Protectorate by the British showed how Yaxye, Hayaag and Khaalid all small Dhulmahante tribes lived in El Dab, Ainabo, Kiridh, Wadaamago and Qorilugud. Which is all Habar Jeclo territory today.

I.M Lewis stated in his book the “Pastrol democracy” How the Habar Jeclo claimed pastures and water wells which the Dhulmahante regarded as “theirs”, by war, force (xoog).

I.M Lewis also stated how the “Reer Caymeed” Dhulmahante lineages became “Reer Ooded” the people of the bush. Stimulated by Habar Jeclo pressure which made them relocate to the scrublands of the “Northern Hawd”. Leaving their lush pastures and wells to the Habar Jeclo.

Its confirmed again how the poor Dhulmahante were scattered around Somaliland in 1920. And were forced to live as refugees amonst the Isaaqs. The Brits described how the Habar Jeclo used the weakened state of the Dhulmahante to take control of their wells and pasture.

Salaan Carrabey composed the “Haadaaqsii” poem during the Guba series short after the Dhulmahante were driven out Caynabo. He described how the Ararsame are homeless and the Hagar Aadan had to flee Caynabo. Full translation of the poem in the next tweet.

Its known how the 20 year old Habar Jeclo kid and the 60 year old Dhulmahante can not agree on the ownership of Caynabo. Sixty years ago it belonged to the Dhulmahante today they are present as “guests”.

The great Caynaba well in question.

Fast forward 70 years laters even up till today I’m the aggressor while the Dhulmahante are the victims. The Kalshaale conflict reminded many Dhulmahante how they controlled Caynabo 100 years ago but today is in hands of the Isaaq, Habar Jeclo.

That sums up the whole history between the poor Dhulmahantes who lost most of their territory due to the Habar Jeclo and yet have to guts to talk to us. Even upon today I rule you under the mighty Sadaad flag and I always will rule over you generation to generation.
