shirib
they do have other subclans,i don't know what they're called though


ask costa

Carab Saalax are not Majerteen. Since they have been neighboring us for hundreds of years they have done what any other clan would do, and that's to allign themselves with us.

They don't claim Majerteen, you are born Majerteen. They are proud of who they are!

Carab Saalax are point fives

emp,

You guys assimilate the yibir and midgaan in Somaliland, so what are you talking about?

Galgale is not Majerteen, and I've never seen any of them.

what an idiot

galgale kulahaa, that is some made-up qashin

Hey Costa,

Aren't Carab Saalax, point fives?
Whats Meheri, and what are its sub clans?
Do u guys claim Majeerteen?

Shirib,

They don't claim Majeerteen.

ps. She told me she was Reer Mahad too, but garowegal says she's Biciidyahan.

Shirib,

I can answer your questions.

1. Technically, they are apart of the .5's. They don't belong to the larger four tribes and are a minority clan, so they are .5'ers.

2. I believe that Arab Salah is a subclan of Meheri. The larger Meheri tribe also lives in Yemen and Arab Salah ( and maybe some other subclans) are the branch that moved to Somalia ( not too sure though).

3. Yes, I've seen it myself. They tell outsiders ( who don't know who or what Arab Salahs are) that they're Majerteen. I guess it saves them the hassle of explaining things. But believe you me, they do claim to be Majerteen ( regardless of what Costa says).


LMAO@Reer Mahad. Shirib, who taught you about Mj subclans?

Ashlee,

You're telling me you've met an Carab Saalax who told you he/she was Majeerteen?

This is new to me.

Of course not. But I've seen them claim it to OUTSIDERS. i.e. "We're Majerteen", "Majerteen are our brothers" etc
