I am talking from experience. When I was in Mugadishu as student, clan values have never played an important role in Banaadir. I am not talking the goverment but the people of Moadishu, Marka, Kismayo, jawhar, Bay and Bakool.
Today you may hear for example. hadaanu nahay besha Murursade yeeli mayno taa because talada somaliya anagay naga go'daa...blablaa yeeli mayno hal wasiir.
Where I originally hail from were known two things:
1- Problems are usually caused by following:
After painful long drought, when finally rainfall. Camel, goats, and sheep are herded. However the scarce resources often create conflict:
Fighting over water wells, which result injuries and death
Fighting over pasture lands, which result injuries and death
Fighting over camels, which result injuries and death
2- Solution:
The customary law obligation of MAG camel, horses and rifle payment to the grieved party, similar with YARAD as well to pay due to respect both the bride and her clan
In battle “BIR MA GEYDO” such as women, children, enemy captives, guests, religious leaders, war wounded, the elderly, and peace delegates all had immunity from attack. The heads of clans, such as the suldaan, Garaad, or Ugass, were not supposed to actively justified war, but to advice against it. Certain weapons and practices, such as mutilation and rape, were forbidden. While the raiding of camels and horses was tolerable.
Conclusion
I believe koonfurstan plagiarized only number 1. Had they plagiarized both( the cause and the solution) Today, they wouldn't have been gotten into such mess.
That's just my two cents
