It's dirir or dir dhabo which means
dir = tribe
dirir = fight, quarrel
dhabo = rise , move up
it is where dir's fought Italians

Nah

Dir is quite old and fragmented tribe. Their homeland is said to be in the Northwest which makes sense but they moved southward (correct me if I'm wrong).

However, I read that the Tomb of Samaroon is alleged near Erigavo.

Kismayo should have kept the name Ras Ogaden
