Ogden is a confederacy consisting largely of Galla, Bastard Xabashi, Boons, and a healthy dose of Nasab Somalis from various clans. The confederacy was created by Majerten who added them to the Kablalax confederacy.BestPlaya wrote: Fri Apr 20, 2018 6:57 amDo you mean the far west (Jijiga and Harar regions ) of Somali lands ? Then, you're right .Ogaden are newcomers in Jigjiga while Jidwaaqs and Geri-galbeed have been living there even before Axmad Gurey.Ogaden.Qoraxay and Doolo are the epicenters of Ogaden territories. Then OG expanded into different regionsbalwarama wrote: Thu Apr 19, 2018 5:04 pm Ogaden are recent arrivals in the far west of the Somaliland. Besides are you saying this Abtirsi is made up? If so who do you think decided to forge it? When do you think it could have happened? Why do you think there was no mention of it in the oral history of the Somalis? When was the first mentioning of Dhulbahante, Majertein? When is the first mention of Bah Ogaadeen in the neighboring Somali Qabiils? The name Ogaden, I believe is a collective name of the Qabiil and not the founder of the Qabiil! The same goes for Dhulbahante and Iidoor
Ogaden was a real person .the youngest of the four Absames.
You should not take this boon Marehan serious. His grandfathers perhaps recall how Ugaas Nuur Cubudiye Ogaden forces tamed his ilkayars in dhuuso Mareb .

You are my adopted family I respect you lot, but know your true history. There was a large Xabashi army fighting against us in Walwal, their bastard offspring roam from Wardheer to Qabri Dahar.

You were always allied to Xabasha, you never took part in the Adal wars against the gaalo, don't claim Gerri history my nigga, your Ogden people are not mentioned at all, you can claim you were part of some Gerri chiefs army or what ever.

Also the Jidwaaq themselves don't want you in Jigjiga they actually plotting against Iley as we speak.
Among the Ogden confederacy I like the Bah Gerri and Makaahil they are my neighbors after all.
