History

The Surre have been associated with spreading the Islamic faith in Somalia and the Qadiriya Sufi tariiqa in central and southern Somalia. They left what is now Somaliland in approximately 1316 C.E. for central and southern Somalia.

The majority of the western scholars (both Italian and British) simply referred to the Surre as the "Dir of Puntland and Southcentral Somalia" without differentiating them, but recent studies in Somalia revealed that the Dir in Nugal, Mudug, Galgaduud, Hiran, and Gedo are divided into two branches, the Qubeys and the Abdalle, both descendants of Surre.

As of 1996 the Surre were represented by the Southern Somali National Movement led by Abdi Aziz Sheikh Yusuf.[4]

Mainly Qubeys and Abdalles with Mohamed Gutale (Habardeel) the uncle of Abdalle are the Surre subclans. The Saleban Abdalle[5] clan is mainly local to Puntland, especially in the regions of Nugal and Mudug and predominantly inhabit Tawfiiq District, Dahraan neighborhood of Galkayo of Mudug and Godobjiran of Nugaal and have a sizable presence in Bosaso.

The Qubeys Clan is mainly native to Bacadweyne district [11] as well as many towns under its jurisdiction and in Galkayo in Mudug region of Galmudug State, the Fiqi walal Qubeys also reside Tawfiiq and areas around it along with their Abdalle brothers, Mirjiicley town of Herale district and in Kabxanley and dhaah towns in Hirshabelle State. The Surre have a sizable presence in both the capital Mogadishu and Lower Shabelle where the qubeys resides the town of Golweyn and have a significant presence in Merca.
