This olkoyar takes the phrase doqonki ogaden to a new level. If somebody put the two words ogadeen and kismayo together he would blow a fuse in anger.
Kismayo belongs to harti and geri
Jigjiga belongs to Geri and our jidwaaq brothers
Bosaso Belongs to harti

Just because we are small in Somalia doesn’t mean we are not large else where We live from Hargeisa to Jigjiga to wardheer.

Geri numbered 200,000 in 1938, they are probably the same size as Marehan if not possibly bigger![]()

Desolate and unpopulated? Bosaso? Galkacyo?You're smoking something good. Marexaan are bigger than MJ + Geri combined. How is some White dude in 1930 supposed to know the populations of clans, did He have some sort of remote sensing technology that can span thousands of miles and find out which clan is who and how much? Marexaan live all over East Africa dude, in big numbers. In Nageele, (South West) Ethiopia Marexaan is known as a clan, in Jubooyinka they're known as a clan, in Gedo, in Mudug, Galgudud, Wardeer, Galbeed, etc. Majerteen live in desolate, unpopulated areas and don't have signifigant communities outside of their deegano (Bari, Nugaal, Mudug) Gerri is a small clan, no disprespect to them.









uff how can the noble gerri live among dirty iidoorsJust because we are small in Somalia doesn’t mean we are not large else where We live from Hargeisa to Jigjiga to wardheer.

We can literally take every single Marehan settlement in Somaliweyn and combine the properties and I bet we can count more houses in Bosaso alone. There is more commerce in small MJ villages than major Marehan towns like Bardheere. There are two bus lines in Garowe and hardly any visible street traffic in major Marehan cities like Cabudwaaq. I don't know what you define as desolate but if you walk through an MJ city then go to a Marehan city you will know which one is a ghost town. Man, Marehan cities are so dead they make MJ village alleys look like the NY stock exchange. You have a big population but literally no sign to show for it man, that doesn't add up. The only way Marehan can outnumber MJs is if your entire population is on the move right now.
Lets just compare the main streets of the Marehan metropolis of Cabudwaaq:
NOW, lets look at a similar populated town like Garowe's main roads
