Daraawiish

The term Daraawiish is synonymous with Dhulbahante because:

*The Sayyid had 75% Dhulbahante DNA, 3 of his grandparents were Dhulbahante
*The Sayyids poem The Parching Heat of the Wind affirms Dhulbahante as the backbone of Darwiish "Ragga diinta hooyga u noqdiyo, hanad Shirshoore leh" meaning "The men who've become refuge to the faith, dignity belongs to the descendants of the House of Garaad Shirshoore".

* Dhulbahante were the only clan that had its population decimated for being Darwiish, resulting in a permanent diminution of their demographics
* The vast majority of the Qusuusi were Dhulbahante
* The vast majority of the Maaraweyn (Darwiish army) were Dhulbahante, with some Dubais/Dubeys, Garabsare, Bahidoor (Warsangeli), Bahgeri, Reer Warfa (MX), Aden Madobe (HJ), Reer Khalaf (MJ).
* Its supreme commander that led the elite Shiikhyaale was Ismail Mire, a Dhulbahante
* Its state religion (Salihiya/Urwayniya) preexisted among the Dhulbahante
* Darwiish had 4 capitals; all were located in Dhulbahante lands: Buuhoodle (Qoob Fardood) (1896-1899), Lassader (1900-1904), Halin (1909), Taleh (1910-1920), settled by the Axmed Garaad, Barkad/Guleed, Bah Nugaaleed and Samakab subclans of Dhulbahante respectively.
* Reer-beede, i.e. the largely unarmed Darwiish civilians who were subjected collective punishment via confiscation of private goods were exclusively Dhulbahante.
