Abdalla Ibrahim was the overseer and governor of the northern coast of the anti-colonial Daraawiish and Speaker of the Darwiish counsel.
Career[edit]
Aw Abdalla or Aw-Abdulle Ibraahiim is from the Xasan Ugaas city of Boocame in Somalia, and he lived to see Somali independence. During his old age, he relayed his memories of poems by the Sayyid.[1]
Aw Ibraahiim was the overseer of the northern coast of the Darwiish and was an advisor, or khusuusi. During the aftermath of a British Royal Air Force bombardment of Taleh, Aw Ibraahiim was asked by the Sayyid, the leader of the Darwiish, to advise on movement. They fled the Jidali air raids on 21 January 1920, thus Jidali becoming the first place in Africa to be bombed via aircraft.[2] In his discussion with the Sayyid, Aw Ibraahim was given the final say on what the Darwiish should do next. He disagreed with suggestions that the Darwiish remnants should go to Abyssinia (now-Ethopians), Italians, and people of Harar, but agreed with the haroun that they follow the tributary of the Shebelle River westwards, in modern-day Ethiopia. Once they reached the tributary, Aw Abdille sent letters to two Oromo kings, of the Duube and Aruusa respectively. In it he asks for refuge for the Darwiish who had fled the assault by British and Italian colonialists. They later held a meeting and accepted providing refuge on the condition that they betroth their daughters to the king. A couple of months later, in December 1920, Abshir Dhoore hosted a meeting of 4 of the most senior Darwiish leaders, which included Aw Ibraahiim. Here, Dhoore informed the men that the Sayyid passed away.[3]
Legacy[edit]
During the withdrawal from Taleh, the capital of the Darwiish, the Sayyid along with Aw Abdille Ibraahiim and Cismaan Boos entered the southern rural parts of Beretabli, in an area called Dodhais. As such, Cismaan Boos and Aw Cabdille Ibraahiim hold the distinction of being the last two men to have accompanied the Sayyid prior to his flight from the Darwiish homeland.[4][3] A school in Boocame has been named after Aw Ibraahiim.[5]

except four men, and they were the Mullah and three of his devoted companions. They had detached themselves from the main body of the Dervishes and made their way to a waterhole, called Dodhais, close to the Italian frontier. When they got there they found only enough water for one man and one pony. The Mullah watered there and his companions made their way back some 20 miles to Gerrowei. One of these companions surrendered to us a few days later and reported that, on going back the next day to Dodhais, all trace of the Mullah had been lost.
