I'm Reer Cali, Arab. What does that mean beyond what I've read on wiki. Fadlan iyo mahadsantihiin.

It means that you're related to the dead Sayid of the Isaaq clan, Sayid Ahmed Abdi Godane.

That's cool, I guess. Al-Shabaab is better than FGS.

U have long lost relatives called barsuuk.

It means you're an even more of a langaab.

Can anyone tell me anything interesting? Even though the Godane quip was a jab, I still think it's cool.

My abti was telling me about how another clan wanted to "kill us" in some tuulo or other but "we kicked their asses." (note: "us" and "we" denote all Arab not just Reer Cali)

We love our Arab Brothers my uncle showed me Geedki Farax Nur in Hargeysa where he used to sit in the 1860s

Thanks Khalid, you're a pro. This one askari at a checkpoint on waddadii berbera said something along the lines of Arab is basically Habar Yoonis. I don't know enough about clans to be insulted or not lol

Baasto, Is that one of those haplogroups yall always on about? I have no interest in my dna. Now, if you, or anyone for that matter, can direct me to a reputable source that lists the genetic markers of Somalis, where they originated and theories of their migration, that would be greatly appreciated.

i respect arap. one of the most noble houses of isaaq
