The Benadiri people (Somali: Reer Benaadir, Arabic: بناديري‎), also known as Reer Xamar(pronounced "Hamar") or "people of Xamar",[1]are a multiracial confederation of clans. Members largely inhabit the Banadir region in south-central Somalia.

Reer Xamar means anyone from Xamar or has spent a good portion of their lives living their. Plus has picked up on their culture.
Not benadirs exclusively. Most reer Xamar are Hawiye

 

[Abdurahman_somali]

Everyone who can't speak proper af somaali and says shit like "ma kasaayo" or at the end of sentence "noh"

 

[Abdurahman_somali]

Reer Benaadiri i refer as "reer xamarka cad cad" i don't know if this is correct tbh

Everyone who is reer magaal and doesnt say waryeye and fartagtag is reer xamar or xamarawi to you

both are right. in mogadishu reer xamar are reffered to as the cad cads. but in the west or in puntland or in somaliland reer xamar means someone from xxamar

 

[Nuur Iidaan]

To someone in the North, 'Reer Xamar' means someone who's family are from Xamar/Mogadishu. This is normal in the North, for example you'll hear Reer Borama/Hargeysa/Burco/Cerigaabo/Laascaanood/Boosaaso.

Imo, The only people who get angry about being called "Reer Xamar" by Northerners are the Somalis who are NOT cad cad but live in Xamar, as they think we're labelling them incorrectly.

To them(non cadcad Somalis), 'Reer Xamar' means those 'cad cad' /Benaadiiri clans who are mixed with other groups.

No, some reer Waqooyi refer to anyone not from somaliland as reer Xamar which obviously people get annoyed with.

Exactly

 

[mrlog]

Reer Xamar = anyone south of border between SL and PL.

Except @Gambar whos got one foot on each side

 

[kickz]

I consider light skin people typically when referring to reer Xamar

I think they are light skin because they are descendants of Portoguese/Carab traders

 

[Abdurahman_somali]

Reer waqooyi are so racist we often use reer xamar as synonymous for reer koonfur.

Anyway i have nothing against reer koonfur they are our muslim brothers and i admire that they as non-somalis assimilated very well into the somali culture which must have been difficult for them. Respect !

 

[Leila]

In the south people think of reer xamar as the benaadiri clans aka cad cads but northerners call anyone who is from the south ‘reer xamar’ .

Waaba runtaa, laakiin I was tryna be PC.



They're all speaking "Af Qaloocan" to me, maana fahmi kara.

 

[Zucchini]

Reer xamar is more like a metaphor to me for anyone who is messed up in the head regardless of their region.

They are as Somali as anyone else. In Xamar they played an important role as judges, businessmen, and the educated class.

[halwa]

Reer xamar = anyone from Moqadishu to me. It probably is wrong

You didn't get my point right. I didn't talked about cad cad, i said reer koonfur.

I made a joke about the somali tribes in the south (Hawiye, D&M and ect) and said that they are our muslim brothers and not somalis but assimilated well to our somali culture.

It was just a joke tough we are all somalis.

Where are you from by the way ?

They are no more reer Xamar than you since it’s the capital, everyone lived there at one point. Certain neighbourhoods had certain clan demographics, but it was a mixed city until the civil war and people were kicked out or ran for their lives.
