I keep saying this, over and over again, but people insist on doing it. Abtiris is your family, your private information, also, a way to locate you.
If someone on here gives me their abtiris, I can probably find them, if I wanted to. So, the very fact that you go out of your way, to provide extremely detailed abtiris is crazy to me. Thanks to this lack of gatekeeping, Oromos and other foreigners larp as Somalis online.
Nobody needs to know your abtiris, for any reason whatsoever.
If you encounter another ethnic Somali, and you want to express how you are related, you can mention code words, and locations, and then cautiously go down the abtiris line until you meet.
