THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE CLAN IN THE SOMALI REGIONAL STATE (SRS)
Stories of inter- and intra-clan clashes abound in the SRS. The dispute is over territory and land. And often the dispute quickly metamorphoses into a bloody conflict, resulting in deaths and serious injuries. And the SRS’s security forces are routinely called to intervene and sort out the bloody mess.
However, there is one specific clan which is taking over the whole region. It is the largest, most powerful and deadliest expansionist force in the SRS. The name of this clan is GARANWAA in Somali, which roughly means UNKNOWN.
GRANWAA is aggressive, invasive, insidious, intrusive and inherently brutal. This colonial monster does not respect boundaries, regulations, environmental ethos, and customary traditions. It does not care about laws of war and Geneva Convention. It does not take prisoners. It extensively uses torture and enhanced and extreme interrogation and occupation techniques.
No clan dares challenge the Garanwaa aggressor. And the Government is till figuring out the origins and genealogy of this alien clan. Powerful clans who decimate each other over a piece of barren territory seem impotent to raise a finger against the new colonial master who is threatening their land, lives and livelihoods with total impunity.
Tol la’y. War nimanka duullaanka ah ee tuutaha cagaaran xidhan iska dhiciya.
