Her favorite laf besides reer koshin is reer dalal. She said the reer dalals are hot tempered but they are “gacal”

Generally bah-Xawaadle is the most powerful within reer Diini, but as an individual sub-clan reer Siyaad and reer Dalal compete as the most largest within reer Diini. Reer Dalal all live in Caabudwaaq while a plurality of reer Siyaad is in Gedo (Garbahaaray) and the rest in Mudug (Balanbale and a small group in Caabudwaaq ).
Basically reer Siyaad is the only reer Diini clan that is both a power in Mudug and a power in Gedo.
Maybe as a result of that or maybe because of something else, reer Siyaad has has a very insular personality which has turned off a lot of Marehan. Trust me Smile, I know full well reer Siyaad is hard to love but I am part of the new age reer Siyaad and my love of Marehan has superceded anything about sub-clannish politics. Generally I have come across a number of reer Siyaad youngsters who realized our sub-clan is unfortunately known for xin and do not want to reflect that.

I still remember the reer Mohamud Guuleed/Marehan lady who randomly told me (IN AN AIRPORT TERMINAL in Nairobi) "reer Siyaad waa yaab, mid hadaad is maagtaan, ciroole iyo caruur dhagax bay soo qaadan."
