THE PHENOMENON CALLED AL-HAJJI MUDANE MUSSE SOODI YELLAHOW
By Mahamud Siad Togane  <togane@earthlink.net>
 Jan 3, 03
 
They laughed! 
The Darod laughed! 
I wonder what made the Darod laugh?  
The Darod laughed 
 
because for the first time 
in their life they heard a voice and a vision  
with an Abgal accent that they had all pretended 
in all their life never existed!
 
They heard that!!
 accent, that voice, 
enunciating a vision that they had never expected 
to hear, of all places, on the BBC! 
They heard the voice and the vision of the !!
Abgal accented 
and announced and enunciated by one called Yelahow 
on the BBC! 
 

And the Darod could not help but laugh!

 
After all, as they say, laughter is the best medicine! 
Let them laugh! 
The poor Darod devils! If laughing will make it 
any easier for them to swallow their bitter medicine 
along with their false pride that caused 
their disgrace and downfall! 
 
The Darod laughed because they heard 
the bitter truth and they could not believe 
their own ears! 
 
They heard the rude and the rough voice of the Abgal! 
A rude and a rough voice that doesn’t mince words; 
that doesn’t know what Darod deceit is, 
what Darod decorumis, what Darod devilomacy is! 
They heard the rude and the rough voice 
of Abgal justice and of Abgal righteousness 
laced with the humor of the Abgal plain candor! 
On the BBC! 
They heard the Abgal truth and they could not believe 
their own ears! 
The Darod are still in shock and in disbelief! 
They are in deep denial for deep in the heart 
of every Darod is buried, is lodged the faith 
that one day soon they shall all return 
to Mogadishu to lord it once again 
over the hapless Hawiye!  
They are laughing now, asking themselves, 
“Was that really the voice of the Abgal, 
the voice of Yelahow on the BBC telling us 
to get lost and stay lost in exile forever; 
reminding us how we were humbled; 
how we were humiliated; 
how we were chased out of Mogadishu; reminding us 
of the hour of our dishonor,the hour of our disgrace, 
and the hour of our most bitter defeat! 
Was that really the voice of the Abgal tortoise 
torturing us once again by teaching us once again 
the most bitter of lessons we would really like 
to forget by shedding crocodile tears 
for the Somalia of yesteryear which we the Darod 
have destroyed! 
Was that really the Abgal voice on the BBC reminding us 
once again how we had lost Xamar Cadde! 
Robbing us once again !
!
of our hope of ever 
returning to Mogadishu in triumph and once again 
taming and ruling the unruly Hutu Hawiye!
 
Tolbeylai! 
 
Where is the power 
that was once Darod? 
Where is the glory 
that was once called  Darod?  
Where is our Mogadishu 
where once our Darod farts 
were sweeter than 
the perfume of all of Arabia?
 
Our Mogadishu 
where Dafle and our other Dhulbahante heroes 
of MOD Darod revolution used 
to jail & torture 
the Hutu Hawiye 
locking them up in containers 
and throwing the key away into the Indian Ocean! 
How did the power & 
how did  the glory 
of the Darod 
pass on 
to the horrible 
Habar Kintir Hawiye 
and Abgal donkey drivers 
who have banished us now 
from Mogadishu forever?”
 
For the first time 
and on the BBC, 
throughout the world, 
the deceitful & 
the demented Darod 
heard the truth from the Abgal! 
From the Honorable 
Al-hajji Mudane Musse Soode Yelahow 
which is: 
 
Give up 
your pipedreams of 
ever setting foot once again 
in Hawiye territory 
to misrule us 
and mismanage 
the wealth of the Somali race! 
For the last fifty years 
we the Abgal 
had been chanting, 
  
O Darod, 
move away from my land!
And I don’t give a fuck 
Whether you swim or take a boat!
  
Twelve years ago 
the Darod and their Papa Doc Afwayne 
!
were defeated 
and driven 
by force 
from Mogadishu 
and from all Hawiye territory! 
 
Some fled by foot! 
Some fled by tanks! 
Some fled by Russian Migs! 
Some fled by cars! 
Some fled by lorries! 
Some fled by trucks! 
Some fled by land 
cruisers! 
Some fled by hitchhiking! 
Some fled by boats! 
Some tried swimming and 
forgot how to swim !
!
and drowned! 
 
On the beaches of Mombassa, 
their Darod dead bodies 
washed and beached laden 
with the American dollars 
that they had stolen 
from the Somali national treasury!
 
On the BBC 
Mudane Musse Soode Yelahow 
reminded the Darod 
of this ignoble defeat,
of this dreadful disgrace 
that they had brought upon themselves 
by abusing 
and misusing 
 
the humanity of the Hawiye 
for the last hundred years! 
He reminded the Darod 
what they are: 
 
a defeated 
and a disgraced dreadful lot 
whose role has been reduced 
to being vassals of the Hawiye!  
He reminded their Darod leader,  
their current Darod hero, 
General Abdulllahi Yusuf, 
what he is: 
 
the punk of Puntland 
who should not try to wear shoes 
that he can’t fill! 
Rer Mahad and their  mad General 
are no match for 
the moriyan of the Hawiye! 
Beware of the wrath 
of the patient Abgal!
 
In Mogadishu, 
the Punk of Puntland 
is nothing but a dirty Darod 
who turned tail like the coward he is!
 
Not only 
has Mudane Musse Soode 
dashed the wild 
and the wicked dreams & designs 
of the Darod, 
 
he has also put 
the Habar Gidir (who are a day late and a dollar 
s!
!
hort; who are nothing but five minutes to their killing cousins,
the Dirty Darod) 
in their proper place 
by reminding the world 
and the Americans 
in particular 
that the world 
is united right now 
to fight the world wide menace 
known in Arabic, 

as Al-qaaida

 
and in English 
as terrorism 
and in Somali 
as Habar Kintir!  
 
Mudane Al-hajji Musse Soode Yellahow 
tells it like it is! 
He calls them 
as he sees them! 
His voice is Abgal!
His vision is vital 
to the healing of the Somali nation! 
His message is the naked truth 
that will lead the Somalination 
to peace & reconciliation!
 
You say, 
the Darod don’t like it, 
so what? 
If they don’t like it, 
the Darod can lump it! 
 
You say, the Darod are laughing 
even though they are not amused, 
so what? 
What can the Darod do but laugh? 
The Darod dog is dead!
 
The days of Darod are done! 
The days of the Darod are gone! 
This is a new day!
And 
Al-Hajji Mudane Musse Soode Yellahow 
is the new kid, 
the new voice, 
the new vision, 
on the block, 
on the BBC, 
on everywhere! 
!
!
 
This Hajji is hot to trot! 
The Darod are dead 
and cold 
and old! 
The Darod are as dead 
as the dodo! 
 
Long live 
the new vibrant voice 
and the brand new Abgal vision 
of Mudane Musse 
which is for every clan
to be content 
containing itself 
in its natural habitat! 
You don’t hear any Abgal 
moaning and pining away 
for Bossasso! 
 
I advice the dirty Darod 
to laugh more 
but give up 
their fatal dear Darod delusion 
of ever returning to Wardheeglay 
to feast 
on Abgal Moofo 
& Maraq 
& Moxog 
& Massago 
& Wambe!
 
No! 
There is no Somali dream, 
it was brutally murdered 
by a dirty Darod 
called Afwayne! 
 
Now 
it is every man 
for himself 
and for his crazy clan!
 
As Mudane Farah Gololay 
once succinctly said, 
“If you hear someone whispering, 
whimpering the mantra, Somaliyay, 
it is a dastardly Darod 
who has dreams & 
designs on power, 
on pelf, 
on bililiqsi, 
on lording it 
over all of us Somalis!”
 
 
Dear Darod, 
remember this: 
Once bitten twice shy! 
And don’t you ever forget it! 
And if you do, 
don’t worry, 
for you 
and your kind 
we have 
Al-hajji Mudane Musse Soode Yellahow 
who will remind you 
on the BBC 
in Toronto and 
in Timbuktu too!
