What type of Hawiye? Surely they’d be called by Hawiye rather than Reer Xamar?
They are both Hawiye and Reer Xamar, the same way others are Reer Xamar with roots from a specific Yemeni tribe for example. I can only speak for my own clan Sabdi which has a branch called Ibrahim who lived in Baraawe, Mogadishu etc for centuries and still do. They also live in iimey Ethiopia as Xeyle Ibrahim. Skip to 00:45. This elder is not really that knowledgeable but he touches briefly on them.
