Subject: Sharif Sheikh Ahmad is an Abgaal
Sharif Sheikh Ahmad is an Abgaal, not a Cayr, so I don't see how he was "Saving the Cayr". He left because his own qabiil, the Abgaal, switched sides, and they had no chance to hold Mogadishu with the Abgaal cooperating with the TFG. This is the reason he fled south in the first place.
The Ugas of the Cayr also sided againt the ICU eventually, and are currently part of Galmudug, so the Qabiil argument is actually rather stupid, considering "their" Qabiil sided with their opponents
