Dhulbahante

A Somali tribe best known for having constituted the vast majority of the Darawiish. As a result of the Darawiish wars they lost territory, were decimated and were weakened; and as such are currently nicknamed Darwiishis or "Reer Darwiish". They are divided into 3 main branches: (1) M Garaad Ugaadhyahan (2) Farah Garaad (3) Bah Nugaaleed. They're called reer darawiish because the first capital (dareema caddo) and last (Taleh) were all in Dhulbahante land.

dhulbahantism

Dhulbahantism is synonymous with the anti-colonial legacy of darawiish activism. This is due to the fact that Dhulbahante epitomized the anti-colonial struggle when they became darawiish during the colonial era.
