Are Garre Somali or Ethiopian? If they're Somali why do some claim Ethiopian smh

[Sheikh Kulkuli]

Tbh its degodia that are the aggressors they want to expand into Mandera. Degodia have been migrating for the past 50 yrs from Ethiopia. They took Wajir from Ogaden and have been advancing into the Garreh territory.
Anyway Garreh are a confederation of somali clans. They are splir into Quranyo and tuuf.

Some claim Ethiopian, because they are under the jurisdiction of Ethiopia. Just like any Somali in Ethiopia would claim Ethiopia.


Garre split strictly into two parts, Tuf and Quranyow. Tuf are neither Hawiye or Raxanweyn. They are related to Galjeecel and Degoodis in belonging to Gardheere Samaale according to their oral history. Quranyow (religious nickname) Maxamed Xiniftere Mahe Dir was a Wadaad who married Tufs daughter and that is how the two became alligned. Gunther Schlee did a lot of research on the Garres and his findings also support their oral abtirsi. Only in the South do they come under the Raxanweyn confederation due to their isolation from other Garres and assimilation into the Digil umbrella. The Garres in Mandheera district are mostly Quranyow whilst the ones in Moyaale/Marsabit are Tuf.

The following is an abtirsi submitted to James Dahl by a Digil Garre Quranyow individual.

I've a friend from Chad. He claims that he's Garre and his ancestors come from Somalia.

This ethnologue of Somalia lists 13 native languages. It says Garre is related to Boni.

Garre sounds like a Somali clan name - yacni dad wax gartay. Us faradheer lost our identity when we adopted Arabic words and even English words en masse. Therefore, we should not judge Horn of Africans who are related to us (Cushitic language or Maay speakers) who have kept the linguistic integrity of their languages/dialects intact. If we maintained our language, we would probably have closer links to Garre, Boon etc.

Garre is a somali sub clan. Somalis have somali originated clan sub clan names. in all 4 major clans. Raxanweyn aka digil iyo mirifle is the only Major somali clan that does not claim an arab founder.

There is difference between garre in south jubba somalia and the garre in NFD & DDs . Those in south somalia claim Digil and they are digil but those in NFD and DDS are half oromo and half somali or they just have severe identity issues. They are however Dir linked


Like Rooble said There are two groups of Garre (Tuf and Quranyow!) Dir Somalis who got assimilated by digil!!
