Why do Somali politicians always say “Wiil iyo Abtigis” what does that even mean?

[Burqad]

I’m confused by that expression

 

[hinters]

I haven't heard that saying, boy and his uncle?

Yep.

It is said when two clans intermarry a lot.

 

[Bowda-dheer]

It’s called Siyaasada liiska and it’s only used by the triangle people.

 

[bidenkulaha]

It’s good way of making clans that aren’t the same paternal lineage closer

ive heard it when people refer to Farmaajo and Laftagareen as wiil iyo abtigis . Also recently HSM said that about Dhulbahante and isaaqs
