I think they mosly live in ethiopia/jig-jiga..reer sh.aba-yonis are the majority
they-re peaceful ppl walle, qabiil iyo waxaas shaqa kuma laha, they're mostly wadaado.

to my reer ayeeyday!
ps. advo, hunno, there is nothing wrong with speaking with a reer woqoyi accent and saying dee dee, it actually sounds better than "nooh".

Salaamu Calaykum.
I just read something about Geri koombe here. as my brother Abooyis says Geri are "culumopeople". they are live different parts in Somalia, Ethopia and Kenya.
Geri konsists more than 12 sub-clans. and Aaabo Yoonis is one of them
if you are intressed to know much about Geri koombe and how they were big part of Ahmed-Gurey´s struggle I can recoment you a book called
" The frist foots stepps in East Africa" which is written by David...
this book shows that how a brithish man came to Berbera and became a guest in Isaak family and then when to Herar to meet the " Garaad" of Geri koombe.
very intressting book.
some of Geri subclans are
Abraahin Xasan
reer sheekh aaboyoonis xasan
reer maxamuud
Ba hawiyo... which belongs to "Garaad family" and if you know " Maxamuud tukaale cusmaan which was a writer of somali drama like Hablayahow hadmaad guursandoontaan is from this subclan
reer muuse
reer jibraa iil
reer Cabdi
and some other subclans
but the qabiil is just "litacaarafuu"
thanks to my somali brothers and sisters!
