A lot of people don't know this, but the most significant person in Hirshabelle is AUN Maxamed Cumar Xabeeb, aka Maxamed Dheere.
Both the current leaders of Hirshabelle (Guudlaawe and Dabageed) used to work under him; Guudlaawe was the appointed finance minister of Shabelle dhexe under then Governor of Shabelle dhexe Maxamed dheere.
Dabageed, who is sometimes jokingly referred to as an "abgaal man," was a close friend of Maxamed Dheere. Dheere brought several well-known people into politics, including former prime minister Cali Geedi, Guudlaawe, and Dabageed.
Dheere gave his MP seat so that Cali Geedi could be appointed prime minister, and Geedi, as a favour to Dheere, appointed Dabageed the GOVERNOR of Hiiraan.
Important side note: Maxamed Dheere, Guudlaawe, and Cali Geedi all hail from the same sub sub clan.
Reality is, there was never an abgaal vs. xawaadle political conflict in Hirshabelle; all along, xawaadle have been getting politically dominated for approximately 30 years by a single sub clan of harti abgaal called warsangeli abgaal.
Before some of the Doofars ruin the thread with "he was a warlord this and that," go talk to the people of Hirshabelle and see how well liked he was. Even the minority communities like the Madows, surprisingly, have a lot of people who love him.
