 The Dervishes were practically indispensable in the early campaigns to liberate Somalia from both the Anglo-Ethiopian and the Anglo-Italian conspiracies by which Somali-lands were surreptitiously divided and transferred.There are several books which discuss the political relationship, which had continued between 1899 -1905 after the Warsangeli embraced 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."
