They had also German and Turkish ambassadors in Taleh. Plus Somali ambassador in Turkey. The last ottoman
khailaf gave sayyid title "Amir " which made dervish state to side with them during WW1 and fought beside the ottoman in one of their battles. Plus their two allies had supplied them with arms.
