During the Great War, a travelled Somali was once asked by a British officer which he thought were the greatest races in the world. He promptly replied that the British were the greatest. Asked which he would place next, he said the Somalis were equally great. The Arabs he placed third, and the Germans fourth ; but he resolutely declined to accord places to any other nation. Asked why the British ruled over the Somalis if both were equally great, he replied that he supposed it was because the British possessed so many rupees. How much of his replies may be attributed to flattery, how much to sheer ignorance, and how much to justifiable racial pride, the reader must judge for himself. Gaal Ingiriis (Douglous Jardine) ah ayaa buug ku qoray hadalkan billowgii 1923kii. Hordhaca buugga mar uu ka tilmaamayay faanka Soomaaliga. Si aad u fahamto waa gaalkii Sayid Maxammad Cabdille Xasan iyo Daraawiish jabiyay!!!
