Burton regarded Gadabuursi and Esa as Galla Somal and Nominal Mohammedans. There is a thread on that in the Clan section, let me dig that up.

Thanks @Hilowle

Very informative.

@Defendant , Esa are culturally very similar to Afar, more so than any other Somali besides Gadabuursi.

Very true, although I can sense that these white men hated Somalis especially Burton haha. He was almost killed near Harar by Gadabursi and Geris.

I wouldn't be surprised if we were 100% monotheists.

The culture hasn't died out at all.
This is a video of Gadabursi elders swearing on stones and predicting the future during the civil war battles against the Reer Dudub (Gadabursi) and Reer Geedi (Ciise).
