SYL party was made up of former Majeerteenia and Hobyo Sultanate natives. Both states fought the Italians but were eventually defeated.
You should read up on how the Italians had to use aerial strikes and call up Eritrean enforcements to defeat Majeerteenia and look up who the hero Cumar Samatar was. I am saying this in case you are alluding that SYL were Italian lackeys or descended from them.
If anyone would be rewarded by the Italians it would be the Habar Gidir footsoldiers (called Dubats) who joined the Italian and Eritreans to fight Majerteenia and Hobyo and all these lackeys got was access to loot livestock and a medal for their Sultan.
