As I told the OP above, Isaaq in Awdal cannot be classified as a minority, they're simply non existent.
Samaroon accounted for a significant portion of the old Gabiley district which is why the SL government allowed the Awdal region to annex the Western part of it and add it to Baki.
The most Eastern Samaroon village in Baki district, Cali Xaydh, is closer to Hargeisa than it is to Borama. Despite this, in the May 2021 election the Samaroon subclan in Gabiley won nearly 5,000 votes in the elections and would have had a member in the council if they united behind one candidate.
As for the Isaaq in Lughaya, they ran one candidate who won 269 votes, accounting for less than 2% of the district vote. Non existent, you cannot compare the two.
