Overview
editBritish parliamentarian Leopard Amery in 1920 described the locality as a "waterhole ... close to the Italian frontier."
On the 12th of February 1920, Dodai was the final refuge of the last independent figures of the Dervish inner circle in their traditional territories of the Nugaal before their escape into Abyssinia.[2] This inner circle of Dervishes included Abshir Dhoore, Cismaan Boos, the Sayid himself and two of his sisters.[3] The presence of Aw Abdille Ibraahiim at their destination at the Shebelle tributary suggests he may have been the third male.[4]
