Blood drinking in Somali culture

[aydurus abdi]

Those Somalis got it from the Samburu. The rendile apostated and adopted some of their cultural practises which is not known to most

rendille might even be of garre origin. Here is what I found

"Tradition says that before the Sakuye attached themselves to the Borana, they lived with the Rendille in the Mt. Marsabit area. The Sakuye and the Rendille are said to have broken away in the 1500's from the early Somali group from which the Garre also developed. Tradition also says that the Gabbra Miigo, the Sakuye Miigo and the Gabbra of Kenya's Eastern Province later originated directly from the Garre Somali."

well now we know it's garre who practice the blood drinking and not degodia. The former seems to have many connections to borana and other small oromo groups in kenya.

This is the Rendile lineage. They are from Maqare, Son of Samaale while Garre are from Gardheere, Son of Samaale.

I dont trust these abtirsis many of them seem fake. If rendille was a somali qabiil today. they would have been the smallest with a pop of only 75000. It's obvious they must have seperated from a bigger tribe. Like garre for instance.

Ajuuran were once a large and powerful force in Southern Somalia until they were decimated in the 1690s great rebellion. Now today, they are a small and with little influence. Rendile have been punished by Allah swt for their Gaalnimo

Ok how do you explain warsangali having a small population? despite their big sultanate territory? Warsangeli were never decimated. The truth is both Warsangali and Ajuraan were small royal subclans ruling of bigger tribes. In the case of warsangali. Harti. And ajuuran other tribes? Ajuran sultanate had a big territory which is probably why you think they had a big population. But there were also other tribes living with them.

Rendille with a population of 75000 could not have been a seperate tribe. They were most likely a subclan of garre.
