Archived from the original on 5 November 2023. Retrieved 6 November 2023. The ONLF claims the independence of the Somali region, formerly known as Ogaden, which is [within Ethiopian territory], but is mainly inhabited by Somalis. Arab belongs to the Issa Somali clan: he left Ethiopia when he was 14 years old and if he didn't do so, he would very likely have become a soldier.
Issa and Ciise
The
Wikipedia naming convention is that pages ought to have their common English name rather than the native name. Ciise therefore ought to redirect to Issa (clan) rather than the other way around. Anyone object? Or anyone want to go ahead and do this? - I'm not too confident in the procedure.

The explorer Richard Burton provides a different list of the subclans of the Issa, in his book First Footsteps in East Africa. (In some cases, I cannot match his names to those in the article.) His list is:
Rer Wardik (the royal clan)
Rer Abdullah
Rer Musa
Rer Mummasan
Rer Guleni
Rer Hurroni
Rer Urwena
Rer Furlabah
Rer Gada
Rer Ali Addah
Burton then divides the Rer Musa (who he says number half the Issa) into:
The phrase "a different list" in the above comment refers to the subclans as presented in
this version of the article. --

Greetings, every Somali knows that clan maps are biased, who is the expert behind this clan map?
You claim the grounds to be inhabited by only a certain clan, which is false. A large part of land is shared among clans. Neither is the Issa clan the only clan in ::Djibouti or the largest in Zeila, which your map claims. The second largest Somali clan in fact in Djibouti is the Gadabuursi.
Even the name of French Somaliland was proposed by a Gadaboursi and the French first signed a treaty with them at Zeila before they signed one with the Issa at the end of the 19th century.
As indicated in Morin (2005:640) the name of “Cote francaise
des Somalis” itself is said to have been proposed by hağği Diideh [Mahad-Ase clan of
Gedebursi. He was Prosperous merchant of Zayla who built the first Mosque in Djibouti
Ğami ar-Rahma in 1891] to the French administration in imitation of British Somaliland.
On the right I added a different clan map which points Gadabuursi more towards Dire Dawa, but not within the Gursum woreda which is false since the Gadabuursi are also the biggest clan within the Gursum woreda and based on different researches reach as far as Metehara within the Oromia region. So a map can't accurately point the land inhabited by certain Somali clans.
Also the Issa inhabit as far as within the Afar region, which is something this clan map of yours also doesn't depict. I'll have you know that Shinile zone of the Somali Region of Ethiopia runs more westward.
Greetings, I know that Issa inhabit want so far in the Afar region near the Awash River but Issa live in half Awdal and Shinile zone.
The Gadabuursi live in Djibouti city have not see them in Arta or Ali Sabieh. Everysummer they for Borama.
Based on multiple researches the Gadabuursi are the second most biggest Somali clan in Djibouti and according to a French source make up at least 15% of the population in Djibouti. So to claim the Gadabuursi do not inhabit Djibouti is false. Colonial researchers who have claimed to roam the Harawa Valley of the Gadabuursi a century ago, which even the Harawo town in the Shinile Zone is named after mentioned a strong Gadabuursi presence and today still they remain in their lands. In your map you claim it to be only Issa inhabited, which is false. You also claim Issa inhabit more than one half of Awdal, while the Gadabuursi do not, while they are the pre-dominate clan in Awdal, which makes no sense. All in all your map is inaccurate. The Gadabuursi and Issa who inhabit a large chunk of land together are both of the Dir clan. Either be fair and claim the areas are inhabited by both clans or no map should be added at all.
