Saddam,
Sheikh Abadir was not Habar Ciise. I just couldn't starkly disagree with my abti there.
Habar Ciise was CIISE WARWAAJECLE and Abadir was MUUSE WARWAAJECLE.
They got the name "Habar Ciise" because their biggest jilib/branch shared the same GAREEN mom with the older Hussein Yusuf Mataan boys (Khalar Hussein and Siyaad Hussein).
To say he is not Hussein Yusuf's son but sharing same mim with Khalaf/Siyaad, he hecame kniwn as Habar Ciise which later after his descendants became the most of Ciise Warwaajecle the whole clan came to be known as.
Habar Ciise was the northwestern most Marehanq even sometimes coming in to contact with Isaaq during particularly dry times when people venture more for water.
When you read that Marehan killed the Ogaden Bah Xawaadle Sultan recently, it was Habar Ciise. Habar Ciise lost a lot to battling Ogaadeen on the Western border.
Some recent Habar Ciise were Jango'an who was Siad's most closest minister, Col Basiin who led the fight that saved Caabudwaaq from Amxaaro in 1970, Col Shanfool who was the JVA Kismaayo governor, Prof Mohamed Adan Jama who was the first Marehan minister in Ahmed Madoobe'a Jubbaland (I heard the prof is planning a university for Gedo now) and the current Deputy Governor of Caabudwaaq.
Also, Habar Ciise is historically hand in glove with REER KOOSHIN (Hi Smile). They were so close they even used to pay mag together. That's why Habar Ciise were 2nd to Reer Kooshin in following Shabeel Carab to go to the Sayid where Habar Ciise and reer Kooshin suffered the most casualties from Marehan.
The closeness is why Aabe Siyaad's grandma (his dad's mom) was Habar Ciise and the rumor persists saying that Shire Warsame Guuleed (Barre Hiiraale's grandfather) was really adopted from Habar Ciise----Xoogsade used to get mad about that when I say it because of the way some misused that rumor.
