Mx did not assimilate wardei at all. Mx has a culture of non-assimilation, while ogaden has a culture of assimilation even assimilating other somalis and oromos. The wording in that writing you posted says quickly that a distinction like that exists between mx who sought to marry local people. We had no oromo sheegads. And they weren't part of our clan, nor did we force them to give us their daughters to marry them enmass. Ogaden married wardei and assimilated them in mass. Some mx could've married warderi and thus their offsprings were discriminated against, so eventually no one would marry wardei. The part about marehan and wardei marriage is very small, few words and it seems the author has not much to say in that regard. Nor does he have much evidence. I want to know who wrote that. Also, the author doesn't know what offsprings of marehan and wardei are called. Any oromo blood in marehan is very very very small. Which happens from some marehan seeking wives from oromo. While ogaden especially mz and abudwaq have very large percentage of oromo. Chances are, they are more oromo than somali. WHat happens if you're half oromo and then you marry an oromo? Your somali is 25%. This is due to assimilation, marriage enmass and having large sheegads to fight for you. Eventually those sheegads become somalis, since there is legit no record of them being killed or expelled from jubbaland. Reer afmadow ogaden are in fact, the remnants of wardei.Seedyare wrote: Thu Oct 29, 2020 6:13 pm UgaasBarakaysan
Ogaden were the first comers of Jubaland followed by Ree Guri Marexaan and Harti .
Suldaan Magan Yuusuf Nuur Magan Warfaa karbashed the Warra-daya as far as Wajeer boor in 1848 .This further cements Ogaden legacy as the first Daarood conquerors of Jubaland.
The swift annihilation of the Warra-daya Gallas by the Ogaden boosted the morale of the other Somali tribes to conduct similar land grabs .Degodia and Garre started to subdue the Warradaya from their end .As a matter of fact, Ogaden married Warradaya and Boran women to bolster their fighting strength but they were not the only ones in such marriage arrangements with the newly found serfs.Ree Guri marexaan and those who came later (Galti) also heavily married with indeginous Boran and Warra daya .So,both Ogs and Marexan had Wiil tulo and Wiil tagoog.
