A phenomenon called Togane

A few days ago a man called Togane has insulted and offended in a so called poem written in English the members of the darod tribe of Somalia which number about two to three million and occupy at least thirty to forty percent of the land of Somalia. In that cheap poem, Mr. Togane,as an Abgal member of the Hawiye tribe, took pride in how the darods were massacred in the southern part of Somalia, their property looted, their women raped and killed by the racially motivated, conspired, plotted and systematically executed by the members of the Hawiye, leaders ,intellectuals and Moriyans during the civil war that erupted in Somalia in the early nineties.

Although what was planned to be a genocide, as the one done to the Tutsies by the Hutus, did not materialize due to god's intervention and unlike the Tutsies, the Darods of Somalia own and occupy the largest part of the country and therefore simply fled through the borders of the neighboring countries and later sought refuge in their regions of the country and amid their own tribes man started to rebuild their lives from start after losing all their century old property legitimately obtained property in the capital Mogadishu and the surrounding areas.

The Darods who were surprised by the amount of hate and brutality experienced by their members in the capital Mogadishu and surrounding areas after they were the ones who took a lion's share in bringing the nationhood and the flag as nine out of the thirteen founders of the S.Y.L., the organization that fought for the independence and the great Somali heroes Sayed Mohamed and Ahmed Gurey who fought against the British and Ethiopian colonizers were all from their members and unlike some clans of the Hawiye tribe such as Abgal who collaborated with the Italian colonizers until the last days of bringing the independence. Never abandoned the Somali hood have now realized the scope of the intended genocide and ethnic cleansing, after the so called Hawiye intellectuals like Togane take pride in his poem and decorates how the bodies of the Darods fleeing in boats from the killings by the Hawiye Moriyans floated in the beaches of Mombasa. Such bodies which have been documented by the U.N. to include mostly children, women, and elderly people whose next of kin are today living among the Somali Diaspora and back home and still mourning, it is imperative that some one has to talk back in the same language, disrespect, hate and racism that Togane takes pride in and this simple poem was intended to respond the hate monger called Togane.
I invite other Darods to respond to this loser called Togane.


Hawiye celebrated!
Yes, Hawiye celebrated.

Hawiye Celebrated for the new era to dawn in Mogadishu
For the new era that the Royals (Darods) have departed,
That civility and decency have disappeared,
The new era that nationhood and the flag are destroyed.

Hawiye celebrated for the departure of Darods!
Those who kept the law and order,
Those who cared about justice for every one and protection for the minority.

Hawiye celebrated for the departure of Darod!
Those who fought for the independence,
And protected the borders of Somalia

Hawiye celebrated for the departure of Darods!
Those who wrote the Somali language,
Who built universities, and schools?

Hawiye celebrated for the departure of Darods!

Those who built hospitals, public offices,
Cultural institutions such as theatres and museums
Hawiye Celebrated for the departure of the Darods!

Those who kept together the country

Hawiye celebrated!

Celebrated for the arrival of the Hawiye Moriyan,
The Moriyan who are worse than the Mongol barbers

The Moriyan who behave like the Mad Max movie characters,

The Moriyan who destroy every symbol of modernity and civilization,

The Moriyan who rape, kill, torture,

The Moriyan who destroy with artillery shells hospitals and schools,

The Moriyan who don't care about nationhood or a flag,

Yes, Hawiye celebrated the arrival of the victorious Moriyan1

Who brought them the rule of gun "whose gun is bigger",

The Moriyan who changed textbooks into toilet papers,

The Moriyan who is the pride of Hawiye tribe, and Abgal,

The Moriyan who kidnap innocents and ask their relatives for ransom,

A culture and tradition never known in Somalia

Hawiye celebrated for the victorious Moriyan!

Who removed and sold the monuments of Mogadishu for their copper,

The Moriyan who dug out the water pipes and sold them for their metal,

The Moriyan who cut the trees and sell them for their charcoal,

The Moriyan who drag dead body in the streets

A character and trait unknown to any race

Yes, Mr Togane your Hawiye has celebrated

To take pride in transforming Mogadishu

So called Hamar Cadde into a land fill site
That no one wants to even remember
Forget about coming back to it.

You can keep it and feast in it with your Moriyan

You can take your piece of Somalia and go to Hell
For we are not made of the same trait and gene

You are destructive in nature like the Mongol barbers

While I am known to build, respect,

You are primitive and backward,

While I am known to have civilization
That produced Kings, Sultans,
Garads, Ugases and institutions

That was based on respect,
Courtesy, and peaceful coexistence

You are known to be unruly and rude
While I am known to be polite and decent,

When the white man came,

You were a naked barber in the jungle,

While I had kings and Sultans

That were respected and treaty made with them.

You were a naked barber in the jungle,

When I was building boats and trading with Asia and Africa,

I have brought to you the flag, independence, and nationhood

And you have destroyed it and now you want a scapegoat.

Take your piece of the land that you already made into landfill site,

And I will take my piece and you can go to hell!

Mr. Togane this one is the beginning.

If you keep using your dirty mouth again, the next one will be worse and I will lower myself to your level.
