It is true my father told me this also saying there were thousands of Puntlander who were better trained, smarter, and more suited to the positions in BBC at the time and Abshir Wolde gave it to him this samaroon dog, he raised him up, he made him who he is today and even sent him to America. Because at the time there was something called somalinimo and supporting those 'taag darane' as our somali anthem says and not to 'ignore' their weakness and poverty, where-as in the past it would be ignored and nobody would mix with them and say 'maxaa beeshayda uu soo kordhayso samaroon xune' khasaaro uun ba ka heli karaye.
People were nasty before Somalinimo happened. My awoowe would never allow an unproductive clans-men to marry his daughters or any of his sons to bring home garbage that won't help his clan growth. That was the common attitude back in those days. Somalinimo was trying to eradicate with support those 'taag darane' clans it's even in the somali anthem were it clearly says 'taageera kuwina taag darane' si cad ayay ku jirta anthemka somalida oo ku tusinayso dagaalka wayn ay kula jirtay in beelaha awooda badan ay cawinan beelaha awooda yar.
It's true waa ku casiyoobay Puntland this xoolo ina samatar, my father was raised by and supported by an abgaal man in hamar, he returned the gesture and bought him a house and a car and he used to give him a sum of his pay check to thank him for all he did for him because he wasn't a local of hamar and had no ties but since abgaal were a sultanates and majerten were also, they understood the need to help each other bases grow so we can both support each other in the end.
Plus we have deep lengthy ties thru habar wadaag at the harti abgaal level and yacqoub level with all abgaals which faciliated further cooperation because it's' better helping your bah wadaag before anyone else in Somalia because you have links to become safe among them. That is the general rule in Somalia if you can't help your own 'clans-men' you help your habar wadaag alliances as that's the next base of support you can receive in the future.
