Degoodi

The Degoodi or Degodia (Template:Lang-so, Template:Lang-ar) is a Somali clan.

They are genealogically related to the other Samaale, but in particular to the Garjante, Gaalje'el, Garre, Masare, Isa (Saransor) and 'Awrmale, with which they share the same ancestor Gardhere Samaale.^[1]^[2]^[3]

History

When Arthur Donaldson Smith traveled through what is now Bare woreda in 1895, he found that the Degodia were neighbors of the Afgab clan (whom they were at endless war with), their territory stretching east to the Weyib and Dawa Rivers.^[4]

So far there are 12 Wabars who served the community:

1. Wabar Cuudow 2. Wabar Amiin 3. Wabar Ali 4. Wabar Omar 5. Wabar Caalin 6. Wabar Abdi 7. Wabar Omar 8. Wabar Ali 9. Wabar Hassan 10. Wabar Osman 11. Wabar Abdi 12. Wabar Abdille (incumbent)
