I don't know what it means to be Dir. However I know that we all have our ab tiris, you can count back for so long until the names and characters start to get fictious so yes we are all mixed, all the people that we share DNA with are people we have at one time or another lived amongst until we migrated. Thats how every country has been populated, there is no one man team that we all came from...unless of course you are going back to the original creation story.Cirwaaq wrote:BlackVelvet wrote:I got a book about this a while ago and I was told it was a 'Hawiye' book because it said we came froma guy called Samaale.

Basically what you are saying is these Fabricated qawiils don't have a common ancestory?
There is no single prime somali father?
We are a collective of mixed raced people, amhara, Dir, oromo, zanzibaris, sudanis, panjubis, persian, turks, yemanis... etc
Dir are the only realy pure blooded somalis then?

Walahi some Somalis .. are messed up big time ..
I am for sure not an Arab nor want to be an Arab all that
tribal/Qabiil it's crap .. you only use Qabil .. to bring certain people together
there is no way that every single tribe from Somalia has ancestors who originally came from Arabia ..
It's more like the other way around with Arabs having ancestors who were Africans .. since human life started in East Africa
It makes more sense.. I believe it's time to knock some sense into these dusty nomads!
