The Majerteen claim to Xamar is due to the fact that in pre colonial times, their Sultanate extended to Warsheikh in Middle Shabelle which is only 70km from Xamar, where they were in a land dispute with the Zanzibar Sultanate.I know that many Abgaals are from the baadiyo of the city but groups like the Reer Mattan are from Xamar. MJs have no claim and were there as immigrant traders
