Demographics

[edit | edit source]

The town is inhabited by the Reer Mohamuud and Reer Faarah subclans of the Jibriil Yoonis and the Habar 'Affan subclan, both branches of the Gadabuursi Dir clan.[1][2][3]

Filipo Ambrosio (1994) describes Lefe Isa as being predominantly Gadabuursi:

"Jarso and Geri then sought refuge on 'neutral' adjacent Gadabursi territory in Heregel, Jarre and Lefeisa."[4]
