Jaaji still live and are the only people who fish in Hobyo.sahal80 wrote:somalis had some anti-sea culture, looked down to the fish and sea jobs
there were other somali classes that lived in the coastal area. jaaji were living in the coastal north banadir from ceelmacaan at kaaran to xarar dhdheere
i have met one of them and he told me that somalis now marry from them bc they started doing the same jobs kkk
but during the egyptian/turkish rule of the coastal north they made local sultans to cooperate with them
so when the british and the french arrived these sultans were in charge of the coastal area.
They are not found in Harardheere becouse its inland about 20 km from the sea , if you eat fish in Hobyo, and other HG coastal towns your automatically become midgaan jaaji, HG who live in the coast are xoolo dhaqato, fish and whoever eats it are look down and discriminated, hawiye as a whole don't eat fish, unlike Daarood jeberti who always use to fish and eat like jaaji.
