Good find sxb! Also funny thing, my mother is from WG and there were a sizeable amount of Issaqs in Xamar from what she and my reer abtis told me, I believe many still have their papers for properties as well. My abti actually has pictures of his old house in this exact area near where all the tourists used to be.In 1932 there was more Omar Mahmud(MJ) in Xamar than Xawaadle, Murusade, Shekhaal and Habar Gidir. I don’t think being “native” means anything to him, just who got xooged out of Xamar post 1991 and who holds military power. Because before that, it was a cosmopolitan city where even Isaaq were heavily represented.
