Was xeer preserved better amongst cisse than other clans? If so, how come?

 

[lovelypeaches]

Does every qabil have their own version of xeer?

It's still used amongst the Gadabuursi and various clans in the North, the Italians dismantled xeer in the South but the British were more hands-off.

I have no idea tbh I think ciise one is unique amongst Somalis

The stability in the north is based in xeer, I'm not familiar with PL, even among the Afar the Cisse have agreements, rooted in the practice of blood money. For instance, between the Gadabuursi and the Cisse, compensation for blood debts could involve the equivalent of 50 camels, paid in livestock such as sheep, or goats, in precious metals, or through the marriage of a virgin daughter.

Yeah I think the story goes some time about 500 years back ciise elders went into the mountains and created a legal system. That was continued and maintained.

Raids don't happen anymore and the last conflict between Gadabuursi and Isa(in Ethiopia) was during the early 90's when SNM attacked Borama.

Why only a single qabil's xeer? Xeer as a whole should be there
