Dire Dawa study showed 84% T marker, and Djibouti study was even higher, 100% T marker.
I said associated with, not that they were. I'm surprised you didn't pick up on Gurgure's migration to Zeila. The Gurgura are also Dir who fought for Ahmed Gran against the Habash. The Harla and others of Gurey's allies also ended up in Harar and the Hararghe valley, so I don't think it's all that far-fetched. Not everybody built stone cities or participated in the early trade at Zeila or would have been welcome in Hararghe. Certainly not the Oromo.Lord only knows who got there first or whether they arrived together, but I agree with you that our traditional homeland was the Northern coast of Somalia.
As for the Madigan being Harla because they live in Hararghe, come on. That is a far fetched theory. Several Somali clans live in Hararghe such as the Babille Karanle, Barsuug and sections of the Gurgura.
The Gurgura actually retained their Somalinimo, Xeer and Ugaas even after the Adal Wars. Like the Ciise, they are all united behind one Ugaas. The adoption of farming in the last 200 years made most of them Oromo speakers due to intermarriage with the Oromo. Gurgura nomads that live near the Ciise still speak Somali. Both the Oromo and Somali speaking Gurguras acknowledge the leadership of the traditional Ugaas.Today's Gurgura are reclaiming their Somalinimo.
I can't imagine living in the 1500s Adal Wars aftermath and how Dir scattered all over the Peninsula. It was a matter of survival that they chose to associate themselves with Oromos.
Dir Dawe is majority Dir if you include Gurgura, no debating.
