Funny how the colonialists named all those who stood up to them as mad, tyrant, criminal, cruel, crazy, etc. The Sayyid was anything but mad. To us, he was and will always be a hero. He was the father of Somali Nationalism. We have a statue in the capital to honour him and his role in our history. Thanks for capturing this important piece of history without bias. Just a small piece of correction; please don't say he failed his mission because he clearly did not. We won and we accomplished much as a result.
As the African saying goes: "Until lions begin to tell their own stories, the story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter."
We somalis are never going to surrender to imperialism and we will keep fighting till the end of times. We have faught UK, USA, Italy, France, Portugal, Russia with South Yemen, cuba, Ethiopia. We somalis we live with pride or die there is no in between.
An important note: The Somali Dervishes were the first in African history to be airbombed, DUE to fierce resistance & waging the longest anti-colonial war in African history.
Power to my Somali brothers and sisters. Such lovely people. As a pakistani i love everything about somali culture. Specially the food. Salam and duas
When the colonists call a person from the colony mad you know that that person is great.
As a Syrian we love Somali people and always welcome them in Syria
Bruh you didn`t even talk about the British Defeats in this war. and the death of the commander of the British army called Richard Corfield (Koofil in Somali). that guy is famous in SOMALIA btw.
You’re telling us one side of the Story. Sayid fought many battles against British, Italian, and also Ethiopians under Menelik. He lost Battles I can’t deny that. An alliance was formed by the British and Italia and again they were unable to defeat The dervish army on the ground and that’s one reason they had to use AirPower. Dervish army was the Strongest army in Eastern Africa .
Our Somalian brothers were always brave and stood up against Imperials. I as a Turk salute you.
somalia is muujiya like ta dhac ku sii Somalia the African lion 💪💪💪💪💪✌️✌️✊✊✊✊✍️✍️✍️✍️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m a direct descendant from the Dervishes and Im glad of the impact we had for all freedom fighters and Africa as whole. My uncle use to tell me stories of he’s uncle being the second in command in the Dervish army and the stand they put up in Eyl, Nugal. I visited it in 2016 and it crazy how Preserved it is. Somalinimo till we dihmoo
Western imperialism and occupations continues to persist in the present era of humanity. Exhibit A: Palestine 🇵🇸
Sayyed Hassan was a prominent hero in the Somali history. He was so brave to fight the colonialists foe 20 years . He was the main cause for the colonialists to withdraw from Somali territory. For sure He will remain as an important leader for Somali people to follow .
Colonization failed in somalia because of the sayid because the main objective of colonizers were to convert Somalis into catholic but Somalis still remain muslim
The Somali Sultanate always objected foreigners.The Arjuan empire and there successors hated western colonizers.
He actually didn’t fail, but succeeded his mission to show us the light of freedom. After him Somali helped so many African countries to gain freedom. Hopefully Somalis of to day will fully understand the sacrifice of our dervish freedom fighters. Somalis will some day going to be super power.
As a Somali can I you ask you a favor can you make a video about Somalia's role in African decolanization and Aprethied ending in Brundi,Mozambique,South Africa,Namibia,Angola,Tanzania,Uganda, and many more
This is his last words in a poem form as it’s translation is in minute 27: 10. 1: Haddaan waayay calan lay nashiro tan iyo nayroobi. 2: Miyaan waayay nuurkii alliyo nabiga jaahiisa.
