[DR OSMAN]

Moryan to my understanding is thug

 

[Xaranle]

mooryaan is mostly used in the south and it means bandit/outlaw. In the south we use it for people who murder steal rape etc.




Mooryaan is a Somali word used to describe militiamen that worked for War-lords in the Somali civil-war after 1990s. Mooryaan or Moryaan may simply mean an "outlaw". they aren't motivated by politics, religious or tribal, but they are looking out for their own interest, and will do anything to survive. they are the pirates of the land, committing crimes like road-blocking, robbery, murder, rape.

[𐒋𐒖𐒆𐒔𐒖𐒕𐒈]

In its etymology, 'mooryaan' has its root in 'moor', the stable where livestock is cared for, rests at night, as in 'mooro xooleed'.

In fine literature, in the nomadic sense and original meaning, 'mooryaan' is animals in poor health afflicted with mite, tick and so forth, as in 'mooryaan cadho asiibtay'.

In the more contemporary sense, it was used to describe paupers, but at the high of the civil war, words like 'mooryaan' in the South, 'jirri' in the East, and 'dayday' in some parts of the North, have become popularised by marauding, armed, lawless young men of no known association.

And the latest addition, borne out of the SSC conflict, is 'joqorraa' to describe SL militias.

 

[Fisherman 75]

Mooriyan is an ancient Raxanweyne word and has roots in Af Maay. It was popularised during the 4 month war in Xamar when there was thousands of young armed men who were just aimlessly wondering around with no clear structure of command. It isn’t a Samaale/maxaa tiri word

Joqorraa comes from the Swahili word Chokora which means homeless street kids originally. In Kenyan it is also used to describe the drug addicts who live on the streets. Joqorraa is the Somali rendition of the word and is commonly used in Kenya. How it made its way to Laas Caanood is anyone’s guess
