Somali forces contributed much to the Imām’s victories. Shihab ad-Din, the Muslim chronicler of the period, writing between 1540 and 1560, mentions them frequently (Futūḥ al-Ḥabasha, ed. And trs. R. Besset Paris, 1897.). The most prominent Somali groups in the campaigns were the Samaroon or Gadabursi (Dir), Geri, Marrehān, and Harti - all Dārod clans. Shihāb d-Dīn is very vague as to their distribution and grazing areas, but describes the Harti as at the time in possession of the ancient eastern port of Mait. Of the Isāq only the Habar Magādle clan seem to have been involved and their distribution is not recorded. Finally several Dir clans also took part.
You attack someone for alleged "qabyaalad" before engaging in it yourself. Also if you're gonna fkd, do it properly. Whoever wrote that garbage clearly has clan bias and isn't even very knowledgeable. "Only Habr Magaadle..." makes about as much sense as saying "Only Harti and Absame...". Seeing as Habr Magaadle is close to 70-80% of Isaaq, it makes that sentence look retarded. Not to mention that the Isaaq clan is most like a descendent of Dir clan anyway.
Nobody can deny the impact the Habr Magaadle had on the war, especially seeing as Ahmed Gurey (the chief of Habr Magaadle at the time) get's confused with Imam Ahmed alGazi the leader of the expedition.
If you're gonna dabble in Qabyaalad, at least learn things.
The irony...kulaha banter. I'm just giving you advice, you ignoramus.
..are we now claiming hararis.
