GALAAL made this?

How did he perform so poorly in demarcating his own region

Not only that but further Ciidagale/hyonis go on this map is Daroor. Which we all know is not even close , because habar yunus for example settles much further South of daroor . Also habar jecelo should be bordering Burco on the eastern side.

Warsangali and Dhulbahante were a minority in Cerigaabo district (modern day Sanaag) even during British protectorate era:

The demographics of the region were:

Musa Abokor (HJ) 40,000
HY 20,000
Warsangali 20,000
Dhulbahante 10,000 (20,000 on the map is split between southern Sanaag and northern Sool and includes places like Taleex.

So Isaaq in Sanaag were 60,000 and Darod 30,000 at the time.

These numbers explain why Isaaq received 3 MPs for the region (2 HJ, 1 HY) while Darods received only 2 (both Warsangali, Dhulbahante never got any MPs in Sanaag).

Today, a huge chunk of Warsangali migrated to Puntland and Dhulbahante to Sool, its probably 70/30 split for Sanaag between Isaaq and Darod.
