khuraafat iyo been abuurkaaga ma yaro. jilib was border of italy in britain before 1925 but mainly italy because it is the east bank of the river. somalis across many clans and mx joined the italian army invading ethiopia not fighting in jilib.
Italians had military bases everywhere so it explains why they would station mx in Italian Jilib.
The only khurafat it to claim you had significant presence in Jilib.
Just like today there are mx Present in Eastleigh does it mean you have the biggest stake in Eastleigh? Nah you have no MCA nor businesss reps ib eastleigh but I know you guys own day to day business mall and others.
If Jilib was a mx degaan even msb would have made it one.There has never been a mx mp from Jilib or a chief.
Same time in 1930s tou will find mx in xamar does it also mean it was your degan?
My maternal grand father married a reer xassan woman in qalafe in the 40s.Qalafe also had mx families but they werent as significant as such.
Reer xassan are known to be spread like thin butter across the ogaden country but they were mostly significantly in Nageyle.
To be singinficant you have to at least colaborate with evidence of conflict.
Was reer xassan the mayor of jilib in 1930s? Were they cheiftains? Were they settled in tuulos or in the city? What was their economic activity in Jilib?
