Bajamal/Bajimal are a Dir subclan that were allied with the Ajuuran dynasty of Qalafo. They and the Ajuurans owned the ancestors of the Reer Bare but lost control of most of them after they rebelled and became too numerous. Some Jareers still attached to the Ajuran or Bajimal in Qalafo and identify as such but the majority have rallied around the Reer Bare banner. The current AS leader is a Bajimal from Qalafo with HY Reer Apti, him and Godane are maternal cousins. They are a farming community concentrated in agricultural settlements along the Shabelle river in the Qalafo area.What is bajamal? You mean biyomaal or some kind of reer baar subclan?You are living in La La Land. There is no 'Dir' block in Mogadishu, just mercenary politicians. When we were fighting in Hiiraan, do you think those Dir Waqooyi politicians did shit for us? We used our Ethiopian contacts and they allowed us to move troops from our Woreda (Doolo Bay) and Gedo to support the Kabxanley and Deefoow folks. The only non Surre Dir that supported us were the Bajamal Liyuu Boolis from Qalafo whilst the Reer Aw Xassan Liyuu Boolis had our back in Abaaley.Biimaal are tough enough to defend their land militarily, they just need political support from the Dir block in Mogadishu, if dir MPs unite their vote they can manipulate the whole system . We got 60+ MPs in Mogadishu that's great share of power, the good thing is only biimaal and surre falls under Somalia administration so those 60+ MPs practically represents those two clans out of the whole dir clans they claim to represent, unfortunately they can't even protect the interests of two small dir clans I wonder how they will protect the interests of the many other major dir clans.
