you can divide Sade land into 3 major zones A. Doollo/Galmudug B. Jubaland/Liban C. Faafan, out of those three zones we primarily focus on Jubaland/Liban, and we assume Mareexaan in Doollo/Galmudug are a minority in the bigger picture consisting of 4 clans Celi, Wagardhac, Rer Siyaad Hussein and Rer Dalal, this is false, although they are the 4 major subclans, you will find almost all Mareexaan subclans in this zone.

A. Doollo/Galmudug I reckon is the most diverse land

1. Hawrarsame
2. Habar Ciise
3. Urmidig
4. Celi
5. Wagardhac
6. Cali Dheere
7. Khalaf Hussein(Rer Diini, Rer Gulleed, Sharmake Rooble, Ba abaskul etc)
8. Siyaad Hussein
9. Cismaan(alot of them live with Cagdheer beyond Doollo but they are also present in Doollo)
10. Fiqi yaquub
11. Rer Yusuf


B. Jubaland/Liban is the second most diverse land, you will find alot of the already mentioned subclans in this area because they moved there in the last 200 years, for the sake of simplicity I will mention those who live exclusively in this land

1. Rer Hassan
2. Rer Ahmed
3. Rer Garad
4. Talxe
5. Ina Nuur
6. Ali Hussein
7. Soonfure

C. Faafan I reckon this use to be a Sade strong hold back in the day 400 years ago, but it isn't anymore due to conflict from the fall of Adal sultanate to the Oromo invasion to internal Somali rivalry, there is even conflict at present and new wave of exodus mainly to Doollo/Galmudug, again there are many of the previously mentioned clans, but those who live there exclusively are.

1. Khaliif Diini "Qowracne"

In history of Mareexaan the B. Zone has been where Mareexaan gets gurmad from and where the movers and shakers of Mareexaan originate, but in the future as Jubaland/Liban gets more organized and stronger, I reckon it will be the power base of Mareexaan that can provide gurmad to Mareexaan in the different zones.

This is why we are all eager to get our shit together in Jubaland

My fam lived in Dabad to wardher for centuries. Actually they are founding fathers of Wardher, Galgacyo, Dabad and Galadi
