Hmm, I think this research was funded by the Dutch government because around the late 2000s there was a big wave of Somali migrants coming to Europe (Al-Shabaab). Somali refugees often claim their asylum request based on coming from an oppressed clan.

The cadaans I know who infiltrated the Somali clan system did it through marriage. Perhaps you mean record and explicate?

Do you really want to see an inaccurate clan record?
