What is going on in the Mareexaan community? There is so much disunity and dishonesty. It seems like we are at the bottom when it comes to everything in Somalia. We are losing land faster than you can count. Sooner or later we will become minorities in our traditional lands. We can't even seem to ...

I have met a lot of Mareexaans that have married into all kinds of qabiils. Almost every Mareexaan lady that I know in my city is married to Hawiye or other Daaroods. From my understanding, Mareexaans traditionally married Majerteens (especially Cumar Maxamuuds and Reer Biciidyahan), Ogaadeens and ...

Carab Saalaxs are Meheri and they have been in Somalia for about 200 years. They mostly married Omar Maxamuuds, Ciise Maxamuuds and Cusmaan Maxamuuds. Every MJ, especially Maxamuud Saleemans have a Carab Salaax cousin. They were actually very wealthy and built or founded major cities in Putland ...
