About Darawiish

Darawiish was a state founded by the Sayyid, Ismail Mire, Obsiiye Seed Magan, and Maxamuud Dheri in 1896. Its constituents, the Dhulbahante avoided signing a colonial treaty like the other tribes. Although the warrior nature and the praise for resiting subjugation has earned them the praise of Somalis and non-Somalis alike, the poetry recited by its leaders and remembered by subsequent generations has left the greatest legacy. These Darawiish poems touch on various topics such as battle successes, defeats, stoicism, glory, culture, etiquette as well as slander.
