Garaad, Suldaan, and Ugaas are used depending on the subclan. We dont function with one designated head but when one shines brighter the others usually get in line.
Leelkase are definitely not politically Harti in Kismayo, they carry that feud with them everywhere. Awrtable are 10 families who follow the wind of whoever they are near. The ones in Waamo are in my experience Sadeists as they have little pockets in Gedo.
Smaller Darood clans have little to no connection to Ogaden though you are right about that. We dont host as many as you guys and donβt accommodate them with false promises like MX
Is Leelkasse in Waamo, against Harti now? Well, things have changed then. I even heard that there was an Awrtable Suldaan of Harti in Waamo. MJ, Leelkasse and Awrtable are like siblings forced to live in the same house, they may not always agree, but at times, you will see us toeing the same line.
