Somali 16th century tribes

I agree with you borders and tribal make up tend to vary and change over time. These imaginary boundaries were porous. There are also adoptions by other clans. Also, Gadabursi roughly translated means expansion of land. Btw how did you know about the Xeebjire assimilation. Both my grandmother's belong to that clan. Zumaale you are one of my favorite posters, since you come from a place of reason.

Tell me about habar yoonis from ceerigabo please hooyo.

Nothing new here. Digile&Mirfle are assortment of none Somali tribes who united to form a much larger group so as to defend themselves. The Ogaden bar a few like the Reer Isaaq are majority assimilated Oromos. This is based on the fact they couldn't have multiplied that quickly in the most barren region of Somalia and fight at the same time to win all that land. Wars cost life's and the more wars, the more life's you will lose. The most clear example of them not being Somali is the Doqonimo or retiredness they all posses. I would also add the Marexaan who have a small segment that is truly Somali, whilst the vast majority are boon marexaan. These tribes are not all blood relatives

I would say ALL somali tribes are an assortment of different peoples. The idea one clan is pure is a fanstasy. Like all the ethnic groups in the horn, clan affiliation was more POLITICAL than it was geneological. People became part of tribes as a form of political alliance more often than we would like to believe. Its why all clans look roughly the same eventhough there is alot of intra-clan diversity.

check out the kid in the 4:35 mark of this video following the ONLF




you find guys like him who have a very non-Somali appearance in every clan. if one clan was more "truly Somali" than other clans, then you would actually see differences in appearance. but we don't see that. roughly all somali groups have the same populations.
