Someone Explain To Me Why Aw Xassan Seperate From Sheikhaal Identity?

Post by Murax »

Sheikhaal have twice more land themselves than Hawiye combined Spread from Gaalkacyo to L Jubba to Galbeed. HiirShabeele, and the 1 Gobol Shared Galnus State they are part of. Why do they identify different then just saying Sheikhaal who are the most landheer Hawiye? Make no sense :ohhh:

They are tradtionally part of Sheekhal but claimed 0.5 to get more seats in parliament. It was a genius move that guaranteed their representation instead of competing with Loobooge and Aw Qudub.

Sheekhaals are Langaab in terms of population and size. They mostly inhabit other peoples lands as guests it’s why they can be found around many regions even though they have no history of fighting & expanding. They mostly started out as religious missionaries.

Murax, Sheekhaal reer aw-Qudub in DDS never claimed reer aw-Xassan being as being Sheekhaal. They used to call them, Xassan kalweyn, citing he was khaadum of reer aw-Qudub but not related bloodwise. The only Sheekhaal they believed related to them was Looboge.
There are other Sheekhaals as well such as Gendershe and Jaziira whom Reer aw-Qudub don't recognise them as blood relatives hence the .5.
