The midgaans in somaliland want a traditional territory i was just watching on universal tvthe sultan of the midgaan clan suldaan daakir was demanding land for his qabil from the House of lords and parliament i dont know if this is possible though what do you guys think.

Midgaan? Don't you mean gabooye?

Midgaan wax la daho ma jiro...

and yes, they deserve there own territory

Midgaan? Don't you mean gabooye?

no i mean Midgaan thats their clan name , just because other somalis made it a cay it doesent mean its cay to them.
Nin midgaan ah ooh hargeisa hadaad midgaan ku tidhahdid waleh ka xanaaaqi mayo he will tell you wa magacaygii idinka cay ka dhigay. Tumaal ba inaga cay ka dhigay the same as yibir.

Actually midgaan is not their name. It doesn’t show up anywhere in their lineage. It’s rather derogatory name Somalis gave them. Hint, not all “Midgaans” related.

You’re right Yibir and Tumaal are real names. They don’t get offended by it either but Midgaan has no place in their world. It’s like calling some one Cagdheer or IIdoor, Dhabayaco etc. We tolerate it in Kaftan gatherings but we all know they're derogatory names. Midgaan is in the same category

No no dhaga bacayl Midgaan is a real name historical name When King bucur bacayr

or Maxammad xanif kingdom was ruling North somalia The word midgo came from mid go the uprising from other clans against their Kingdom Maxamamd al xanif was getting worse so every day the locals would Kill a soldier of the kingdom and it would say mid go maalin ba mid ba go ay thats where the term midgo came from. its Mentioned in so many historical books. so its not cay or ceeb or magac ay somalida kale u bixyeen wa magac baxay 642 after xidjra.. so its not like nicknames such as iidoor or cagdheer laakin its historical name Midghu kama xanaqaan magaca midgaan inaga cay ka dhignay. magaca tumaal xita cay baynu ka dhignay Tumaalyahow tumaalku dhalay soota la isku cayo

Historically aside, I don't think they really like that name anymore so we should stop using it.

None of my Madhibaan friends like it.

Dhabayac wa hunter thats what it can be a derogatory term if you are with geeljires somalis are not really hunters i mean the nomads they have xoolo, aka livestock

Iidoor is not derogatory term unless
business man is derogatory term or an insult but i don't think thats the case isaaq Poets used to refer them self as Iidoor back in the days Xuseyn xassan 1870s

tarankina danbe na wuxu noqon tabacsane idoore eh

Dhagabacayl do you know The saying of Ninki janada laga waaya midgaaan ah , midgaan people get insulted by that , wuxu ku odhanaya oo anigu midgaanan galaya jannada what is ninki janada laga wayaa midgaan maxaad magacayaga wax xun uga dhigaysa bey ku odhanayaan.

Is what what it means? Walaahi I thought wax is daba yaac yaaca in looga jeedo. Dabayaco = is daba yaac! It sounds like that an't it?

I never thought Iidoor was negative (II doori + exchange)

Cagdheer can't be negative either. (women like men with big feet)

Waa runtaa magaca markaa sida qaldan lo isticimaluu xumaadaa.

I heard that their real name is Madhibaan which means in aff somali "dont disturb anybody". Waa dad wanaagsan they deserve to be treated fairly.

do u know the name madhi baan where it came from it came from berigi la dhibay ayaa la yidhi magacin war cindma ma dhibaan kuwasi thats where it came it was like few hundreds year back marka la bixiyey dhibaatadu marka wabay so gaadhay

Emp & Rural, there names are neither midgaan nor madhibaan. Midgaan is a derogatory term and madhibaan is used to not offend them. They have clan names just like you and I:
Tumaal
Gabooye
Yibir

As for this topic, why not they do have degaans and they should be treated with the same respect as everybody else, for instance in hargeisa gabooye live in xaafadda daami.
