My Mog family side the elders anywasys were adamant and clear that we are dhabyac0 and not somalis thru choice and that's how they put it DIRECTLY. They said we had to get bombed, killed, terrorized by Italians before succumbing to join Mogadishu, where-as the north were legitimate Somalis, while us so-called dhabyac0 were planning a kingdom over somali territories and were only wanting territories to fall under our kings so we can have a 'colony'. They ended the debate with 'somalinimada aad sheegaysid ma adiga ah duli baad ahaydeen weligine, somali kuma soo galin dal jecel, xoog baad ku timi and he said xoogna ayaa ku imadi doonta hoosteena mar labaad markan aduunka ka soo xirno'.
I was like this the whole time
Stunned all my fathers version of the story came crumbling down that we are the only true somalis, when in-fact we had to be forced and killed to join mogadishu. The question remains puntites, are we somalis because of force and puntites by choice? lets be real about this. Can we argue it was a 'forced' union and not through own 'free will'? he also argued we returned to a similar principle in 98, like how it was before saying puntland had a territory of it's own while mogadishu somewhere else.
