The Dervish ideal was a nationalistic cause that sought to integrate Somalis and unite Somali territories into a single centralized administration. Although this nationalist struggle had both its foibles and major victories, its credit and underlying “worthy causes” should not be dismissed away without a lucid understanding of its context. The Dervishes were practically indispenable in the early campaigns to liberate Somalia from both the Anglo-Ethiopian and the Anglo-Italian conspiracies by which our lands were surreptitiously divided and transferred.

  • The Dervish ideal was a nationalistic cause that sought to integrate Somalis and unite Somali territories into a single centralized administration. Although this nationalist struggle had both its foibles and major victories, its credit and underlying “worthy causes” should not be dismissed away without a lucid understanding of its context. The Dervishes were practically indispenable in the early campaigns to liberate Somalia from both the Anglo-Ethiopian and the Anglo-Italian conspiracies by which our lands were surreptitiously divided and transferred. There are several books which discuss the relationship between Warsangeli and the Dervish ideals of a united Somali state. Among them are two books authored by Faarax MJ Cawl, including Garbaduubkii gumeysiga or the "Shackles of Colonialism" and "Ignorance is the enemy Of love." Andrzejewski, in his review of the latter book, writes, "The plot unfolds against the background of Somali national history in the first quarter of this century, when members of a Muslim Brotherhood, who called themselves “Dervishes”, were fighting against the foreign powers which had partitioned the Somali territories, and against those of their compatriots who had accepted colonial rule. The struggle was led by Maxamed Cabdule Xasan (1898-1921), who was a Muslim revivalist reformed as well as a nationalist leader"
