there are isaaq communities that have lived there for a while, but they're originally from the north

According to what yard stick do u measure nativity?
How far back do u have to go?

On another tangent Did u know that they unearthed a couple of thousand year old skeleton in Scandinavia that they believe to have been bronz skinned?

It's not like those communities solely claim xamar. They willfully claim the north.

and i guess there's a reason i ended up here

I always took Reer Xamar to mean the non-Somali ethnic group, not the post '91 arrivals to Mogadishu. :mindblown:

You do realise they're called "Reer Xamar" because unlike the other inhabitants they do not have a qabil so it's a way of identifying them. They're not natives to Xamar.

Same, I always understood Reer Xamar to mean Cadcads. But are you suggesting ethnic Somalis didn't live there before 91? lol
She's referring to Habar Gidir probably, even though they're a minority in Xamar they're obsessed with them.

:gucciwhat: I thought reer xamar was people living in the muqdisho area.

No, I'm suggesting that certain individuals who want to have a monopoly on Mogadishu and associate the city with a particular clan tend to be post apocalyptic squatters. This very topic divides Somali members of this forum into Reer Puntland, Somaliland, Reer Xamar etc as if someone whose clan is from Somaliland can not be from Xamar.

So where is my clan from (abgaal)?

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. Habar Gidir is a clan, you just said Reer Xamar don't have a clan, so how can Habar Gidir be a Reer Xamar clan?:mindblown:

You're making my point without even realizing it. :mjlaugh:

To be fair to OP he's just going based off of what people on here say they come from I'm sure, and not clan. Although there is usually an overlap.

He means cad cads (reer xamar) don't have clans. They do have family names though thats just what they're referred to collectively.
