The Dir history i really enjoyed Gurey Hisory

Dagalada ay xabashida ku soo qaaday Soomalia iyo jabintii boqortooyinka Awdal(adel), Ifat, iyo Moora waxa ku burburay Habar magadle(Isaaq)aaga Bulaxaar/ Berbera/ Zaila ilaa hawd xabashida wey burburiyeen. Amxaarka Amad Siyoon(1456) gabey ayuu uu ku fanayo titirkii Islamka iyo Somalida iyo siduu dinta uga saray. Qabail fara badan oo Hawiya iyo Dirka Iyo Daarodka siiba (Reerka Harti)guddah dalka ayeey u soo kicitiimeen. Iyagoo hoygooda galbeedka ka soo carary. Magalooyin iyo masdiya fara badan oo waqooyi galbeed kuyaala barigaa ayaa la dumiyey. Qabaail far badan oo kuwa Somalida ugu xooga badnaa barigaas ayeey tirtirmeen siiba samaalah, sida: Darood: Weyteen, Yabarah, Awrtablaha iyo Daarjire hajaaga. Hawiye: Sadex geedi,udeyjeen iyo qaarkale. Dir:Badimal,Madagleh, Barsuuga ,iyo reeka loo yaqaan Layiile dad yar ayaa ka soo haray. Habar magadle oo (Isaq ahayd) galbeed way ka soo kicitiimen oo gudaha ayay soo galeen. Qabailka Samaale ee iyagan ku kala firaray oo qaar Oromada qabsatay, qaar lumay, iyo qaar ay somalida kale dul kula dirir ku tirtireen waxa ka mida: Hubeer,Ajuuran(Madinle),Xarla( oo qabil somalida oo dhan ka tira badneed), Cawarmale, Digoodi,Galjecal iyo Xawadle wey ka badbadeen. Galbeedka ayeey uge xigeen kadib markii amxarada burburisay xadaaradihii islamiga ahaa Dir badan oo galbeed xigtay Oromo cawan ayaa soo qabsatay markii Somalidii kala firdhatay. Burburkaa lixaada leh wuxuu keenay in Somali badan oo awood lahan jirtay sida dadka Midgah(Midgaan) iyo Yibraha kadib markii Somalida kale ay jabeen in ay baahi darteed is gumeytan oo kuwii laga xooga bato la bah dilo sida midgaha. Somali badan oo Dir iyo Darod ka qadiimsan in Oromada xagooda loo cayrsho. am currently doing research of "Adel" civiliation from the 15th century and the pre-historic existence of the Somali clans in general and the "Dir-Gadabuursi" group of clans in particular. one of the interesting things i already came across so far is the central role the "Dir-Gadabursi" played in that civilization. I have already read some books writens by the Othman Turkey, i found the names of some books, which give me reference, regarding the stumbled over finds the names of books, which i may find a great deal of the "Adel" civiliation. I have also so far got the names and the dynasties, and their tmie lines of more than 10 "Gadabursi" kings, starting with King or Ugas Ali. One of those books mentioned that Iman Ahmed Gurey was from the "Gadabursi" clan, confirming what many elders who were descended "Zayla" were passing to their children for generations Imam Samaroon Said alle ha unaxriisto 1432 AD when the Amhara cruseaders conquered Somali Iman Said was the mulim leader who led the Madanluug Dir and when the imam was later fighting in the Westren flank of the Guurey army he was injured at dardarley. The Gadabuursi latter suffered a davastating defeat and actually the present day Amuud which has a old cementary called Lafaruug was destroyed by the Amhara King. Also note it was this period that the King Shihad a Diin buried in Zailac Island was killed. The Gudabuursi Dir and Modoobe Dir never recovered from these davastating blows. The Madaluug in Southren Somalia and the Biyamaal as well as The Fiq's Suure all point their Southren movement from Amuud region in the 1600's during the Axmed Guurey era. The Suure Dir who are as a matter of fact still in Hauda region and whom refer them self's as Fiqi's where the Her or sheikh associated with Awbarre __Buube- Yusuf Barkad kowniin students who entered Mudug region at the time og Ajuuran rule and some served as Imams under one malakh Gareenow Xaasey Fiqi's Imam Samaroon Said alle ha unaxriisto 1432 AD when the Amhara cruseaders conquered Somali, Iman Said was the muslim leader who led the Madanluug Dir and when the imam was later fighting in the Westren flank of the Guurey army he was injured at dardarley. The name Gadabuursi was given to his descendents at the last critical moment before he made a final stand to the Amhara at the mandaluug ancestral homeland of Amuud which was destroyed over 50,000 homes where excuvated recently and the place was leveled with the ground 10, 000 thousands perished. The Magadle Dir was completely annilated except for the 10,000 or saw that survive in Cerigaabo. The Madoobe Dir installed a Madaxweyn Dir dynasty The Wardiiq who was the ruling remenants of the Madaxeyn. Madigan, Gurgure and the Barsuug Dir fled west and were encirled by the Oromos- Many assimilated and the union formed a half cast Jarso. The Isaaq Dir reconstituted as Maxamed (Axmed Xiniftire) new Habar alliences formed the Nacadoor,Mikidoor,Nabidoor and the Idoor all disappeared. The name Gaada Biirsay means The one who collected the army or "chests" the name refered to the desparate effort of imam Samaroon Said to collect and muster the power of his kinsman against the infidels. Gaado means shafka ama xabadka (gaada ha i saarin oo kale. Gaadsan the westren Dir 's name means the one with the army or good chest litraray. The Gadabuursi latter suffered a davastating defeat and actually the present day Amuud which has a old cementary called Lafaruug was destroyed by the Amhara King. Also note it was this period that the King Shihad a Diin buried in Zailac Island was killed. The Gudabuursi Dir and Modoobe Dir never recovered from these davastating blows. The Madaluug in Southren Somalia and the Biyamaal as well as The Fiq's Suure all point their Southren movement from Amuud region in the 1600's during the Axmed Guurey era. The Suure Dir who are as a matter of fact still in Hauda region and whom refer them self's as Fiqi's where the Her or sheikh associated with Awbarre/Buube/ Yusuf Barkad kowniin students who entered Mudug region at the time when the Ajuuran ruled at mereg and some served as Imams under one malakh Gareenow Xaasey. The Suure Fiqi's, Biyamaal, Guure, and the Badimaal all entered the south. The Biyamal claim to have entered the Banadir area, a name meaning beynka direeb, in 1700's. The Gurgure/Akisho cluster and reminders of Madaxweyn Dir conquered the Dira Dhabe " meeshu Diri Dhabe" ama waranka ka taagay. The Gurgure which is not their real name (Gurgure means trader hence the word Gorgortan - to bargain)
