Dervish Movement per EN WP

[change source]

According to the linked Wikidata item, the article in different language WPs describes this as either a "movement" or a "state." Possibly they are not exactly the same thing. Anyway the name needs to be decided. I put the "Neutral Point of View" banner template because the page (also in English Wikipedia) might require rewording to describe the situation more clearly. -- Deborahjay (talk) 21:11, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edited to add: After some reading of the page in the EN WP, my best understanding is that the "Darwiish State" (possibly with a different name in English) was a situation during the course of the Somali Dervish Movement, which involved a militant revolt against the British colonial holding in Somalia. The page here needs work to clarify the movement and the state. -- Deborahjay (talk) 21:29, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
