Adan, Cilmiile knows it better then I but before Galgaduud and Mudug were seperated, it was one of four Somali regions the Italians recognized as "Mudug" and before that it was known as Ximan.
All you need to ask is "what was "Ximan" and you will know, even your Cayr relatives will tell you, that it was Mareexaan land before the Mareexaans continued migrating (all the way to Garrisa). When the Mareexaan empted whole swaths of land, Habar Gidir started going north from their Hirab brothers and Cumar Maxmuud started going south to meet up in the deserted land.
Dhuusamareeb is before early 80's was Mareexaan city and all the parliamantarians from it and ministers were Mareexaan. Caadi weeye hada Kismaayo ayaa laga soo dooran.
