You know your history well. Let me fill in some more details.
The Habar Jeclo as every Northern Somali knows, is a diverse tribe composed of people of various descent, from Bantu to Habesha, with a sprinkling of some Indians and Somalis. The reer Dood of Habar Jeclo, for example, descend from an untouchable Indian cook who was abandoned in Xiis.
As you are aware, all Habar Jeclo lived in the coast near Xiis, and any shipwrecked fellow was immediately absorbed into the tribe to increase their numbers and remove them from laangaab status they had enjoyed for centuries ( which unfortunately they still do). Seyyid Maxamed Cabdille Xassan knew this history well, hence his famous poem:
Haybtaada haddaad qarsanayso Habar Jeclaa la sheegtaa
If your origins are unknown, just claim Habar Jeclo
In other words, they will accept anyone as Habar Jeclo, as long as it increase their numbers.
I digress, however. I will shed more light on this topic at some other forum.
Back to the Aadan Madoobe. These fellows were living in Xiis with their fellow porcupines, until they did something that was quite in their nature. They raped a girl from the Yeesif subclan of the Habar Jeclo. As a result, the rest of the tribe massacred the Aadan Madoobe and expelled their women and children.
These wandering women were eventually granted asylum by the Baharsame of the Dhulbahante. The Baharsame then requested their Barkad brothers to impregnate all the Aadan Madoobe women, with one condition, that the children born of this union would continue being called Aadan Madoobe. So the Aadan Madoobe tribe was rejuvenated. But both Dhulbahante and they themselves know that they are Barkad. That's why Dhulbahante have a lot of sympathy for Aadan Madoobe, because their Dhulbahante grandfathers are known, as this is very recent history.
The rest of the porcupines could be anything, Falasha, Nuer, Tamil, Burji, Kongo etc. Nobody knows.
That's why Dhulbahante don't hesitate to kill the rest of the porcupine federation, because no Somali will hesitate to kill a descendant of Riak Machar or Augustine Mahiga if there is conflict between them.
I actually admire Marehans and I want them to succeed in Jubaland but their hatred for MJ ruins everything. I guess Success makes so many people hate MJs.STFU you are only mayor of Calanley. You hold no weight in the south. Keep fighting Idoors and Hutus. The south is ours.

The HJ *cough* Barkad part.
You haven't seen the rest. Just picture a female version of Boqor Baruurmadow. You get my drift.
You don't get this kind of knowledge in History 101 or Wikipedia.
There is more, but I don't want to kill the ignoble, low caste porcupines for now. It's Ramadan after all and for good or bad they are now Somalinised. I want to save what's left of my Ramadan in the last few weeks and take a break from this cesspool .
I will leave you with this my Mareexaan brothers. Did you know that Dhulbahante and Mareexaan lived for centuries together in Nugaal and that they heavily intermarried before the Mareexaan moved south.
Look at just one example of the famous Reer Diini warrior, horseman and poet Faarax Afcad. He had Dhulbahante half brothers. When he visited them in the Nugaal, he was gifted with the best horses they could offer. His poems praising the generosity and hospitality of his Dhulbahante brothers are famous among the Somalis.
There is a reason why both Dhulbahante and Mareexaan feel a special kinship, other than being Daarood. They are close relatives.
