Somalis and a tale called Galkaio
Khaled Hassan Yousef
Gaal Kacayo is a city in the state of Somalia. It was the center of the province of Mudug in the Democratic Republic of Somalia. It is located in the central region within the administrative division of the national state. The city was formed as a medieval medieval city. It was fought by the Somali and the Umayyad nationalism. African, and the two nationalities link the language, as there are many linguistic vocabulary common between them and geographical proximity, not to mention the historic alliance in the Middle Ages, which were aligned at the religious level in the Horn of Africa - Muslims Christians and formed a historic epidemic on the region
The meaning of the word Gaal Kacayo in the Somali language means the expulsion of the infidels and the word "Gala" called Oromo, while the meaning of Kawi in the Somali language is expulsion and deportation. In the context of the clashes between the Somali groups and the Umayyad, the expulsion of Somalis Oromo from the vicinity of the town in Conflicts continued on the ground, and the town was named after. The word Jala ended with the Islam of the Somalis as a cardiff of disbelief because of the primacy of Somalis in Islam compared to the Oromo, some of whom were surrendered by Somalis.
During the time of the Italian occupation of Somalia, Galkayo and its geographical surroundings were formed as a zone of confrontation with the Italian colonial monarchy and the tyranny of the Mussolini regime and the confrontation between the Somali rebels and the soldiers of Rome - the Somalis lineed up military epics - and with the activation of the policy of later divide them and buy the debts Italy was able to subdue their revolution and absorb some of their elites , And thus formed Galkaio land as a corollary area of ​​the Italian police, which involved many of the people of the region, and in this regard, the Somali President Abdullah Yusuf Ahmed that he came from this countryside in order to buy the needs of his family in the city and saw the Italians They registered Asakir in exchange for a financial career and decided to organize them - as mercenaries - and thus include in their service he and other Somalis who organized for those forces whose task was to subjugate the Somalis and protect the Italian presence in Somalia, in addition to those wars fought Italy's wars with Ethiopia and Britain
Somalia became independent in 1960 and left Italy a Somali military force, which served in the past and ended as a nucleus of the Somali armed forces and formed the people of the province of Matrouj as a major military group of those forces, not to mention that the city of Galkayo itself by virtue of heavy military presence has become the main military headquarters of the Somali armed forces, And thus formed the headquarters of the front of the main confrontation with the Ethiopian forces in the first wars that broke out between the Somali Republic and the Ethiopian state in 1964 and remained the city and the province exercise that role to the stage of political normalization between Somalia and Ethiopia in 1988
The ambition and ambition of some of the elites of the province led to their departure from the Somali flesh and the trend towards the path of tribal strife and seeking to reap the political power and lost a lot of blood in the ranks of their tribes and the armed forces, which formed a major part of it! Thus, their organizations aimed to cooperate with the Ethiopian state and to move out of the Somali territories that were taken over by colonialism. Thus, the DFLP and the United Somali Congress have revealed their positions and the lack of national and democratic programs. The priority of their struggle with the Somali regime is the national interest. And clarity, and the responses of the system in turn random and received from the people against the background of their tribal links with the circles of those organizations or as a result of the people's sympathy with the organizations
The governorate of Mellouj was formerly known as the province of Mertjahia as a Somali tribe, and many of its inhabitants gathered a spirit of confrontation and opposition to the Somali regime. However, its main tribes are represented by two camps and a hypergadir is a central formality of a traditional conflict, either in the presence of the central state or after its fall in 1991, The armed clashes since the year mentioned between the two tribes, which have been mutually exclusive with their relatives geographically in each direction, including the face of the United Somali Congress with the Somali regime represented by the person of President Mohamed Siad Barre, and a series of civil wars fought by the two tribes in the provinces of Mzouj ​​and Lower Juba in particular
These conditions were also issued in the direction of the so-called Somali reconciliation conferences, which were formed as attempts to flex the muscles and take the pulse and desire to penetrate the other's entanglements and find a political quota among the Somali parties, instead of ending as a genuine social and political reconciliation between the disputants. The time that the city of Galkaio and the province of Matrouj as a focal point for the political and armed conflict between the tribes and clans residing in it, and renew the same in the current scene between the retail departments that are struggling for geography and sovereignty and summoned foreign forces representatives of the police Financial and Ethiopian troops stationed in the African UNOSOM Somalia, government forces and the distribution of the roles of bullying the other
The federal system announced in the Somali constitution has not been able to demarcate the political boundaries of the province and divide it between the two administrations that are fighting the imaginary sovereignty over it - representatives of the cantons of Puntland and Galmazog - and the city of Galkaio divided between them to the north and south, similar to the division of the former city of Berlin to eastern and western, and the major problem in Somalia As a country is that society and its members can not overcome the pattern of their traditional conflicts and export them to political life and move towards civil political programs. The elements of science, capital and
Political experience is present in the governorate of Mazuz, but its inhabitants are unable to subject these elements and other sites and animal resources intensive in order to develop their daily reality. In the context of the dispute over geography, I personally suggested that the federal system in Somalia adopt the former geographical administrative division of the Democratic Republic of Somalia, A variety of 18 provinces, which would have avoided maintaining the specter of division and conflict over it and its main city Galkayo. The result is that the Somalis will end up with more weakness and conflict with the conflict in Matrouj. Any political changes in the Horn of Africa will end up as a heavy political burden for them and as victims. This is not understood long after the political and armed conflicts between the Somali factions who are addicted to permanent conflict, begging and bullying. Outside
