First bah means someone who share same mother and not father and and those share same mother dont take their mother name or tribe or clansWhats with the emphasis on paternal lineage. When Somalis also trace descent through their maternal side via ''Bah'' and ''Habar'' . Your maternal side is never ignored or irrelevant it's an important connection.
And at the same time, someone is a Somali through not only their ancestry, but also culture, language and nationality.
Also even if someone is of mixed cultural background. They can be both, they are not mutually exclusive to each-other.
It's tragic thing , so many Somalis lost their land and property to thugs with guns and hooligans.
I remember hearing that during the outbreak of the civil war they would loot and take peoples properties and justify it by saying ''This is Siad Barre's property we are confiscating'' so initially it was just blind hatred towards him, almost like those rioters you see in the UK, Kenya shouting ''Ruto out'' in recent memories or the BLM protesters in Minneapolis some years back.
When the ICU took over, they started to reinstate people's properties back and land. I hope we can see this happen again. There are many abandoned building and houses believe it or not, so that's another potentiality we can encourage more to come back to.

Second habar clans are named habar jeclo or habar yonis i think to honor their mother but still in order someone to be from those clans habar jonis or jeclo or awal they have to have the father's pater lineage not the mother maternal
You wrong
Non somalis that don't have somali paternal lineage aren't somali both islamic and somali culture and if they claim to be somali is it haram for them
Also language and nationality don't make non somalis a somalis also if they follow somali culture they have to accept they arent because in culture if someone doesn't have somali paternal lineage tru father tribe or clan they aren't somali
