The man was from a very small tribe showing how 'ruthless' small tribes can be in terms of 'inventions' as they do not have the numerical 'supremacy' to negotiate with. Like me my father tells me my 'awoowe' would sit around with reer mahad back in the 'miyi days' he means the 'elders' and he would 'make' them 'laff', see he used his quality strength and they actually liked him, and their were nicknames given to him based on this 'character' trait. He wasn't a wild man knowing his 'capacity' numerically to 'force' or 'act' like boss to someone that can basically 'annihilate' the small numerical base he is working with.
Look at Bartire clan from who the sayid hailed, a very small clan in 'absame'. But he basically came up with this idea of uniting us along 1 ethnicity, 1 language, 1 religion, 1 culture. This is where the idea of somalinimo that your parents teach you 'stems' from, cirka kama soo degan bahashani like some clans want to make u believe. This is totally unscientific to say such thing. Their is always 'ROOT' to an idealogy and a beginning point. You don't 'assess' the idea after it 'spreads' for generations like Somalis do and call itself 'geesiyaal' bay ahayeen 'awoowasheenu' it's to late then to assess as your using an idealogy that was brought to you from him.
I suspect the reason he wanted this Somalinimo is totally because of the threat of 'colonialism' at that time which was the 'era' he was in. Like the 'era' we are in now is 'China/Russia vs America'. People will look back at us and assess us based on our era just like we do with the past. Your second generation will do the same as you guys do, don't you realize why it's so important you leave behind something so your actually 'talked' about like the 'sayid' is in Somalia after 150 years?
But deep down the man was 'nationalist' at heart but he was 'sneaky' he wanted to use 'PL/SL/GM' areas as the 'soldiers' of this 'new idealogy' while the 'south' he called 'deris' meaning their kinda of like 'our capital' where we can bring them 'idealogies' and ensure they 'align' to it. After-all they had no real idealogical movement in those areas and were comfortable with the 'colonialism' and not knowing how dangerous this is to their over-all culture in the long-term, look at the 'aboriginal' culture in Australia today or look at the 'south african black culture'.
A-lot of their cultural identity has been stripped away and their not fitting into the new identity either which is why u see such problems with those areas. So you basically become a 'basket-case' in the end, unsafe, not understanding the world your in, your place in it, your people place it in, etc.
You don't want to listen to the 'colonizer' it's just nasty back n forth that ends in uselessness. It's better to assimilate like what happened to some somalis in oman and lose their identity as process but join that new society generations later and live in peace. At least their 'names' still exist in oman but not their culture of their ancestors, they adopted the culture of their hosts. But oman would've been easy to assimiliate for them lets not forget it's similar desert cultures, camels, etc. They would'nt of seen a huge 'shift' in mindset.
