Annagoo Taleex naal

"Annagoo Taleex naal" ('Residing in Taleh') is a 1913 Somali-language poem by Ismail Mire which chronicles life at Taleh and the killing of colonial figurehead Richard Corfield. Written on August 11, the poem was created two days after Richard Corfield was killed by Xirsi Cartan Boos.

The poem narrates the battle of Ruuga in the third person perspective of Tuurre, a horse owned by Ismail Mire, and narrates how the spoils of war and the belongings of Richard Corfield were brought by the Darawiish to the town of Buhoodle and to the far east of Sool province to be distributed there.
