There is alot of irregularity surrounding the Jeberti abtirsi both in the historical records and in the movement of people records but honestly in my opinion it is one of the easiest irregularities to understand.
the short version of the answer is that Jeberti consists of newly converts starting from the late 15-century upto early 1600s and it coincides with the Gaal madow wars. The invention of Jeberti was done as mercy to both the Xaamar Samaale elite who wanted to have a defense line deep into Ethiopia and Oromo territory so that they won't threaten the Samaale kingdom borders from Mudug to Kismayo and these separate kingdom in the north.

If you look at the records of peoples movements and historical records Jebertis are not present and clearly they are not semites this much we know due to their bloodline being E-V32 but still related to us but they are not samaale either just further relative the Oromo are our brothers who ventured to the southern ethiopian plains much earlier and accepted Islam much later then the others by the late 1500s.
Cabuudwaaq was an Oromo holy city of sorts and to this day it is inhabited by same people who inhabited 1000 years ago.
If you look at this map it shows that Oromia borders Gedo
If you go back 1000 years before the Samaales even conquered or ventured to the South the Oromo's were located exactly where the Marehan are located today in Gedo and were fighting the Tunnis who themselves are distant relatives to the Oromos who intermixed with Persians and other elements and spoke the Tunni langauge.
Warday Treaty
The Warday Oromo clan under King Brawt crossed the Jubba river and invaded the Tunni Sultanate. They were defeated and driven back where the fight finally ended with another alliance that was signed in Jumbo the place now known as Gobweyn, between the Tunni and the Gala Warday. After the treaty was signed, the Tunni settled on the west bank of the Jubba River, and the Warday settle on the opposite side of the river, which was the east bank. These two zones were known as Khad Tunni and Khad Gala (Tunni limit and Wardey limit). The land was also divided into three sections. One portion for the Tunni, another section for the Gala Warday, and the third portion was designated no man's land and was left for grazing. No groups were allowed to go beyond their boundary; both clans lived that way for 300 years
This happened before the Samaales conquered the territories. The Oromo and Tunnis were fighting over the Jubboyinka and famously entered into something called the ''Warday treaty''
Samaale annexed the Tunnis once they conquered the territories running all the way from Mudug to Kismayo and pushed out the Oromo from Jubboyinka and into Gedo which didn't come under Samaale rule until few centuries later.
Now here comes the really meaty part.
As you may know the heyday of the Samaale coincides with the Islamic expansion happening all over the world and one tradition that was occuring allover the place was that the invaded majority of the times assimilated and in some cases the invaders assimilated into that culture.
And the case was the same in the horn just like the Middle east, South east asia etc etc where entire nations were arabized like Syria, entire Sham, Iraq, Egypt and the whole North Africa and Sudan.
In some cases the Turks have done the same and in other cases the turks assimilated into the cultures of these they conquered.
The galla were fierce opponents more so then the peace loving Habashi's who just remained on a small territory in the highlands but the Galla were constantly expanding and it was only a matter of time they would collide with an ever expanding Samaale something had to give.
During the early 1500s the Gaal Madow wars began which was an extensive campaign that lasted for decades and relentless all the way to Gambelle region which is the furthest of Ethiopia. The Galla were defeated soundly and entered a short period of enslavement but as many invaded nations they converted in masses. especially at the beginning in the eastern parts and everyone who converted came to this part and to somalia itself.

The most famous Somali scholar of Islam from the Ajuraan period is Sheikh Hussein, who was born in Merca, one of the power jurisdiction and cultural centers of the Ajuran Empire.[48] He is credited with converting the Sidamo people living in the area of what is now the Bale Province, Ethiopia to Islam. He is also credited with establishing the Sultanate of Bale. Despite the Bale Sultanate not being directly under Ajuran rule, the two kingdoms were deeply connected and Bale was heavily influenced by Ajuran.
His tomb lies in the town of Sheikh Hussein in what is the most sacred place in the country for Ethiopian Muslims mostly Oromo Muslims
Someone who is Samaale can via historical movement, DNA and cultural traditions trace himself back to ancient Egypt and is of mediterranean admixture not Semite admixture because they are not short but tall and have facial Cranium similar to them whereas the only semite admixture is the Amxarro since due to Queen Sheba era where semites and sub-saharan's mixed to create a new race aka Habashi who are easy to spot as they are shorter like yemenis and have different features with Semite admixture as you may know all the remaining cushitics in the horn are of Meditteranean admixture and have different build which is taller and features. As for the Samaale they have traceibility - Ancient Egypt to Aksum to splitting into Awdal and Ajuran which later was succeed by Hiraab Imamate.
Somalis use this oath often when they mean something ''Ab iyo Isir'' and they say we are descandants of Awsar and Isir which is correct statement without technically knowing who they are but just from father to son they still say we are the descandants of Awsar and Isir but 99% of the somalis don't know who Awsar and Isir are technically but just passed down to them from generation to generation and they are the father and mother of the Ancient Egyptians written on the walls. The westerners call them osiris and isis which is not the correct name but the westernized name but in it's pure form on the walls of pyramids it is written exctly like Awsar and Isir. E-V32 is direct descandant of E-V12 meaning E-V12 gave birth to E-V32 meaning it is basically E-V12 with additional mutations.
They even have some still remaining pagan stuff called ''Sar'' where woman dance and say come down 'Sar'' Because the Ancient Egyptians and pre-berbers somalis who were none muslims still believed that Awsar and Isir have assumed control over the world of the dead and spirits which is exactly what is written about them on the walls.
According Herodotus the father of history says in his book: That during the Assyrian invasion of Egypt in 673 BCE to 663 BCE that 200.000 Ancient Egyptians fled south following the nile river southwards. This was 2600 years ago and these group of people settled in what came to be known as Axum simply called as the kingdom of Aksum which is where the Samaales come from and to this day reside in most of it.
Now here comes the solving of the puzzle where does the Jeberti comes from as they are not semites? unlike the Habashis who are actully semites due to alot of intermixing in Queen Sheba's time nor Samaale? the puzzle gets more intriguing.
The answer is simple..
First of all I would like to clarify that they are Somali thru and thru and have intermarried for 3-4 centuries including have become Somali 400 centuries nearly 500 centuries ago.
became great people and assilimated. They have done good on the land after that period to the point where they became rulers of Awdal some of them.
As for the Jeberti abtirsi it was Mercy both for them who assimilated and for the Xamaar Samaale elite and Hiraab as splitting the Galla forever would have been viewed as far lasting security assurance at that moment in history because now the Ogaden were guarding the empires borders and the Galla had no more borders with them anymore by simply making or helping these who left behind their beliefs to change their abtirsi accordingly this killed two birds with one stone they were happily accepted into the somali society and easily assimilated in a Samaale dominated world without facing discrimination but had they still kept their Oromo genelogy they would have faced alot of prejudice as the Galla Oromo was hated fiercely by the Samaale public opinion back then due to the wars and theft happening in their territories which was unsafe for a samaale to travel there they just hated their guts but since the Gaal madow wars everything changed.. Where Samaale garrisons didn't need to be stationed there anymore as kablalah has now broken free and didn't even share anymore same genelogy and lineage with the Galla and their threat was completely gone it turned into a strong alliance with Kablalah where they just could now arm Kablalah to carry on the Jihad who were strong enough for the job. No Somali would want to change his abtirsi as that is basically his passport but it can only happen if it was extremely necessary situation like this one.
These who assimilated became somali intellectuals themselves and are Somalis thru and thru not to forget the Oromo themselves are our relatives hence look wise and everything checks hence it was an easy assimilation and took approx only 5-6 generations like 120 years First via Deen and then culture. They have entered into the history books as somalis a century after that. They became leaders in Ogadenia further converted many more galla and eventually all of them and have given birth to many mujahideens
