Mo Cheers,

Stop misleading people sxb. Dir and Darod claims were made by Siyad Bare and his junta regime. Rahawein are different to Dir, Rahaweins are coalitions of many groups if you didn't know including Isaaq, Darods, etc.

Many years ago when the Arab subclan of Isaaq used to be a powerhouse, Isaaqis ganged up on them and chased some of them, today they are within the Rahawein clan. Same with Warsangeli subclan of the Darod. You can find Warsangelis in Rahawein.

Basically Rahawein means the coalition of small tribes. They even ended up inventing their own secret language to communicate. They used to be constantly under stereotyped…in the south some still diss them calling them "Eelay" even though Eelay are only small tribe within the Digil. Also even though Rahawein are often referred to as "Digil and Mirifle" it is not technically correct because Digil and Rahawein are two different things.

Dir and Hawiye meet at Irir Samale.

The Sab term is nothing but a racial term, it has no foundation other than labeling the outlawed minority groups as "Saab" basically meaning they are "insignificant"…

They group Midgan, Tumal, Gaboye, Digil, Bantu as saab; which is rather a joker!!

How can you say a Gaboye in north Somalia is related to a Bantu from Mozambique/Tanzania?

This is just to racially profile them without getting it right.

Midgan are actually related to Dir and Hawiye…but we erased their history for unknown reason.

Not only sh Ishaaq is burried in Maidh but also all his sons and grandsons as well as great grandson around him and in sanaag for example carre Saciid garhajis and his sons isahaaq care Ismail care muse care (HY) etc are all buried in erigavo. some people say isahaq and issa are related because they are both banu Ahmed banu hashim. I think Dir is just for political tag and also isaaq was classed as dir in the book fatuhul habash as maha dir because habar magadle (mother of garhajis HA Arab Ayub) was maha dir besides isaaq has always been in the dir alliance that's why during barre southern dir was helping to shield the isaaqs from massacre and isaaq will always support their dir partners/family. Somali clans are too many to know. ps bad typing is because of bad keyboard

Which tribe do you hail from boy ?

amal says:

Khatumo citizen,
Walalo Siad Barre was ruthless who was killing anyone that goes against him but sadly isaaq ended up getting the full wrath and military force. I don't remember it either because I was born during the middle of the civil war in the north but my parents who fled the war told me about it and it makes me feel sick whenever I get told what happened. However, that's is just the past and what is important is to move foward and sort out our differences. Somalis went through hardship everywhere wallahi. I don't know why isaaq and darood are always on eachother's throats, they should solve their differences and become buddies. If anyone is related it's the northen people. It was traditional to marry your inabtiyo Iinstead of your inadeero whcih is how dhulos and isaaqs became so mixed, same goes with gadbursi+sacad muse etc Dir is just political tag I believe.

Anyways Eid Mubarak :-)

amal says:

it's true walahi it's men's fault and is usually the women and children who suffer the most, my mum had to flee with two of my older sibling before I was born but both my parents were lucky to escape whilst many didn't including members of close relative. Dictators always end up destroying what they build and people's lives as well as getting destroyed in return. And yes I have to say Somali men are responsible for holding the Somali society back, it's always women working hard and struggling. Not all of them but they need to take more responsibility especially fixing the politics they screwed up.

If women ruled the world, we would have a lot of drama going on. There would be mood swings and temper tantrums depending on the days month. Things would become feminine; we would have girls night out (who is going to guard the borders?). We would all be hugging each other constantly, talk about insignificant stuff, nothing will get done. Pink colors every where. Everyone would be saying "oh, my gosh" a lot. The world would be a soft place to live. I don't want that for my future boys.

Right now we have a rover in Mars exploring for life. Should they find life up there, I would volunteer to move to Mars if women took over earth. We should just live things the way God intended. Men first, women follow. Why mess with natural order of things?

Dheere
I think we have two different scopes because I do believe that we don't have any links whatsoever with the people of these areas other than Somalinimo and muslimnimo while you blindly believe Garbahaarey is much more closer to you than Burao. What Have you said *tribe and ideology differences" I afraid you may not have any clear idea what the tribe is all about. Look brother! I'm over hundred times related to Buhodle/Lasanod areas and vice versa for many centuries, which tribe would you like to call me then, Kukuyo or Boran!

Anyhow, one thing is for sure, relatives will always be relatives whatever difference of opinions they may have. Period.
