Shafi'i and Sufism are the most dominant, and Wahabbi being more common among areas controlled by Alshabaab.

Somalia and the horn is dominated by the Shafi'i school of thought.

Somalia is ahlul Sunnah and follows the shafici school of thought. Majority of Somali scholars I suspect are Athari these days

Sorry I don't get it but aren't athari and shafici both sunni why do they fight if they are both sunni?

You can be shafici and Athari but historically the shafici school was dominated by asharis.

Schools of thought like (shafici,hanbali,hanafi,Maliki) deal with things to do with law whilst schools of theology like (athari and ashari) deal with theological questions.

Historically, scholars had overblown the significance of their differences out of proportion particularly the schools of theology .Nowadays, even they still have those intellectual differences it’s not as heated as it used to be.

Postscript: Athari is sometimes used to refer to the hanbali school of thought since most hanbalis follow athari theological thought

Somalis have always been shafiici atharis I believe. The schizoness suits us.

Both the TPLF and EPLF were Hoxaist during the Eritrean war of independence and I think there was a faction of SSDF that was hoxaist influenced.

U have no knowledge shafici is a Madhab and it only concerns fiqh so u can be salafi and follow the shafici madhab or Sufi and follow the shafici madhab.
