I spent the afternoon with someone these women as part of a preliminary stud of customary institutions in Gashamo zone of Somali Regional State. We spent the morning talking to the elders (always men) of the community and the afternoon with the women. I'm a little wiser to the structure of the Habanjale clan now. But a day is not enough to truly understand the complexities of a clan system that is centuries, is not more, old.
