Who is your reer ayeeyo

[Smile-LiKe-SuN-RiSE]

Bitchy boy

Tell them sis

Women shape somali society

ladies you are obviously feminist but the somali society does not work that way, I bet your Ayeeyos or your mothers if they are not Marehan are very pro-Marehan, because they become part of the clan, however you obviously have to respect the Rer abti and Rer Ayeeyo still but this niggas are not your clan and thus potential enemies

Yes their qabil counts and they don’t have to be pro marehan
Man eff you and the sexist men who agree with you.

Mustafee and Smile,

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by history. Obviously my own family history included.

Lol guys, I have so much recordings if I ever need to write a book. Every time I talked with any of my grandparents, especially my two grandmothers I grew up with, parents, aunts/uncles, etc basically anyone I was talking to about family history or their experiences, I would start recording.

For example, in the link below which I have shared before, it's a snippet of tbe type of hours and hours of recordings I have.

Basically my mom is reciting some of the poetic battles between Cali-Dhuux Aadan and the Sayid that she learned from her grandma as a little girl. This was all by memory which my great-grandma memorized the poems and passed it down to her son and grandchildren. All before recordings, internet, YouTube. Just goes to show you how Somalis have passed down their history in the past.

As for my mom's alliteration, form, and sound while reciting---apparently poetry ran in the family. My great-grandma was Ina Aw-Cabdi Adan. She was the daughter of Cali-Duux Aadan's brother. Notice before I said my great-grandma HATED the Sayid and, even though she got a better meher, originally her requested meher was that my great-grandpa leave the Dervishes?

Well my great-grandma and Cali Dhuux were Cali Geri of the Dhulbahante and of Cali Gari, they were reer Samantar Gorod. Literally they became like the dinosaurs (well near extinctio because they suffered the most casualties of any single group in that war. Both my great-grandma and her uncle Cali-Dhuux despised the Sayid for the war he brought to them.

These are excerpts of those peotic (and real) battles between Cali-Dhuux/reer Samantar Gorod--Cali Geri vs. The Sayid/Dervishes;

This is an example of how your own personal history dissects with wider history that is relevant to entire nations and peoples.

If I had never been interested in history or the desire to know more, I would have never known about anything of this.

I am the sum of everything that came before me that made me. If that Dhulbahante lady had become a war casualty, she would have never given birth to my mom's dad who would have never sired my mother who would not have given birth to me.

I am not surprised by the Majeerteen blood especially reer Bicidyahan and Cumar Maxmuud (ever Mareexaan Mudug had at least one MJ grandma); what surprises me is that I am the only one with Habar Gidir blood. Either you guys are an outlier or some people are hiding their own blood.

According to older people I have met over the years from those regions Marexaan/Hawiye marriages were never common. The only times it happened was when odayaasha gaboobay guursadaan what they would term wayso dhowr.

I mean everybody's perspective is different, but that's the first I am hearing of this wallahi. It sounds like the 90's colaad is talking them. There are entire groups of Mareexaan Mudug that had multiple back to back Hawiye mothers for generations.

Talk to an older reer Siyaad Xussein (if his mother isn't Sacad, his grandma is), or Wagardhac (if his mother isn't Saleebaan, his grandma is), or bah-Xawaadle (no longer motherd but if his grandma isn't Cayr, his uncles had Cayr mother).

Sxb the civil war cuqdad didn't exist then.

As messed as it sounds (and it is very messed up) I did hear before that if a Darood Mudug man was marrying a Darood, her meher included "66 something" and the Hawiye woman was always given "33 something.

I am not sure why I never recalled what the something was (maybe goats?), but I think I was too surprised and disbelieving of the whole thing to pay attention.

I'm the product of 3 generations of MJ/MX intermarriages I'm not sure before that as I've never asked. My great grandfather was from the Doolo/Wardheer area so it's not surprising why we are close with mjs. We eventually left the area for gobalada dheexe and kept to that tradition

Yeh man its good to keep record of names, anecdotes, location of birth etc,keep doing it, wish more young Marehan would do the same, it keeps our culture intact and something to pass down to future generation at least here in the west. You would be surprised how far we behind, to our grandparent generation this was pretty much common knowledge mainly due to the fact they lived in the same locality, I was shocked when a REr Siyaad elder was telling me a bunch of stories about Rer Dalal personalities and events directly linked to my immediate ancestors with great detail, if you Rer Diini in the west you have an abundance of information available.

Reer Koshin iyo Hawiye is mar arkaan..cagdheer and dhabayaco baa naga buuxa . Alhamdulillah we don’t neighbored with those people.. I have lost uncles to feera qumumux..maybe it has something to do with colaad.

Ps Washington state voters just approved a measure to cut car tabs to $30..too bad for folks who work in Seattle haha
