Clans like the ogadeen and others are also amalgamation of people, in fact ogadeen were know for practicing 'forced shegad' on other clans to make their numbers larger.
So in that sense Darood is about as relevant as D&M
most clans have sheegato, but sheegato (the kind that you're referring to that ogaden used to/have) are known and are seprate from the actual lineage of the clan they claim. and they know that, as does everyone. for example, the gosha people. sheegato = free labour = a good thing (labour wise, not humanly of course). aulihan in jubba used to have tons of sheegato before the government force them to let them go. MZ used to have harti sheegato (the kind that are amalgamated into the clan) in jubba, they are true blue ogaden today.
since 1500's, when a small somlinized cushitic people joined ogaden, (outside of the harti in jubba) no new members have have been added to ogaden. every knows about MJ and midgaan (not that there's anything wrong with that. midgaan
= as somali as any somali IMO). that ogaden has more integrity as a clan than MJ there can be no doubt about that.
who knows, RebelLioness could be an ethiopian for all we know - not that it'd actually make any difference, seen how he already acts like one anyhoo.
