This clan is a cult as @IslamIsTheAnswer said. I don't debate them as much anymore after I gave them the formula to show they are laangaabs and they still refuse the evidence and prefer the SL cult worship. It's a cult is the best description you gave as cult members will deny even something hortooda la dhigo.
The formula I gave him was simple. Tell me your 'awoowe' or 'grandfather' name and then let' go identify how many children he had and where they are located. U will find they are all caged into hargeisa or burco. I then said come and test my awoowe and his descendants. He will see 80% are not located not in a city but on camels and only 20% are in garowe or other towns in PL. So we know the ratio of settled puntites and settled isaaq is different. What u see in SL in terms of settlement is what u get, what u see in terms of settlements in PL is only 20% of the story. What's funny when we add up all our villages, cities and urban areas and SL does the same, it's actually PL that is larger, even on the urban count. Forget the rural nomadic count since he isn't even present as the sample of his own awoowe showed that.
I showed him that this is a working sample, u can use wider sample to 10-100-1000 but the statistic doesn't change wallahi. He will find all his family are settled not nomadic at all. His census won't include unsettled people, he will need to work with what he has in terms of settled.
