Everyone knows that those elections were bogus and fake.
Compared to your example.. Majeerteen got more MP's from Bay and Bakool in those same elections, can you argue that they outnumber Raxanweyn or that Bay and Bakool is MJ gobols?
Jamaame district is Biimaal and will always be Biimaal territory. I hope they secure their areas in Jilib district as well.
You are absolutely wrong and this is utter nonsense. The list of all MPs and the regions they were elected from are online and available. Yes, there was Majeerteen MP elected from Baydhabo, then the Upper Juba Region but he was a local boy. And if you don't know, all Raxanweyn clans have major Somali clans. For example, the Suldaan of Liisaan clan is an ethinic Cawlyahan. There are entire Raxanweyn clans who from other Somali clans. Xudur, which was part of the Upper Jubba, used to send 4 members to the parliament and OGs always had two. Of those two, one was always Majeerteen; Buraashleey. The Buraashadleey are well-known Majeerteen sub clans that live with Cawlyahan.
Educate yoursefl brother. The entire list is online. 99% of MPs were elected from their clan bases. Period. The exact electorate model in place in Somaliland now.


What a flimsy way to prove that you have a significant presence in Jamaame district.
Juuje who was a minister in Cigaal's 1969 Government was an MP for Bay and guess what, he was Surre. I am related to his nephew through my cousins and I assure you that he did not get there through Surre votes nor was he adopted into a Raxanweyn clan or have maternal links to the Raxanweyn. As Xildiid highlighted in his last post, elections in the 60's were not necessarily representative of the clan make up of a district or the population of a district. The following extracts illustrate my point that the dominant non Bantu clan in Jamaame district are the Biimaal.
Middle Jubba: study on governance (1999). Page 54.
First some areas of the Jubba valley feature localized armed hegenomy which falls short of conventional "occupation". In these instances, a clan with a historic presence in the area-has established armed dominance over a town or district.........................in Jamaame, where the Biimaal claim control over local affairs
Jamaame district is located mostly east of the river where the Ogaden do not have a presence nor do they inhabit the agricultural settlements along the banks of the river that are Bantu (primarily) and Biimaal due to their pastoral lifestyle. The Ogaden presence in Jamaame is restricted mainly to the area around the vital Desheeg Waamo that is located near the border of Kismaayo and Jamaame district. The following extract illustartes my point.
In the Lower Jubba Region west of the river, the livestock movements show the following pattern. In the Jiilaal season, cattle--the most important livestock in this area--are concentrated around several new deep wells with motor pumps, hand-dug shallow wells, and thousands of privately owned wars, mainly concentrated in the Afmadow District. Two other areas of concentration are around Dhesheeg Waamo and between here and the cultivation zone of the lower course of the Jubba River. As it is rather difficult for the pastoralists to get access to the river bank to water their animals, Dhesheeg Waamo and the artificial watering places are very important.

Even though the Biimaal primarily herd their cattle and camels in the land east of the river, they also possess agro-pastoral settlements on the Western Bank of the river as demonstrated by their clashes with the Bantus in 2008 that resulted in the Bantus seeking sanctuary in the Eastern Bank of the Jubba River to avoid further retaliatory attacks from the Biimaal villagers that neighboured them on the other side.
Hundreds of Somali Bantu families have been displaced in the southern region of Lower Juba after days of inter-clan fighting in which 10 people were reportedly killed and more than 20 wounded, locals told IRIN.
The conflict, mostly around Jamamme, the district capital - 440km south of Mogadishu - broke out on 14 and 15 May between Bantu clans and the Biyamal clan of the main Dir community.
The minority Bantu, sedentary farmers who live in riverine areas, are of Bantu origin, unlike most Somalis, who are Cushitic in origin.
Hassan Yusuf, a resident of Kamsuma, 20km northeast of Jamamme, said the fighting was most serious in and around the villages of Balad Amiin, 15km south of Jamamme, and Sabatuni, 16km to the southeast.
He said the clashes were triggered by revenge for the recent killing of a Bantu youth by the Biyamal after an argument over charcoal burning, a lucrative trade in the region.
He said the village of Balad Amiin was razed to the ground, while Sabatuni was partially damaged.
"The 600 Bantu families who lived there are now displaced," he added.
The Bantus for their part raided two Biyamal villages and took some livestock, he added.
Ugas Muhyadiin Ibrahim Sabtow of the Jarrer Weyn (Bantus), told IRIN that most of the displaced families from his side were encamped on the eastern side of the Juba River.

When you combine their agro-pastoral settlements in the West Bank and their exclusive grazing land in the East Bank, the Biimaal are undeniably the most numerous Somali clan in Jamaame district hence why the District Governor is from the Biimaal clan.
