Overview




Former Deputy Mayor of Mogadishu Mohammed Nur Iman Kar, a member of the Benadiri Somali clan.


Although the Benadiri are sometimes described as the founders of Mogadishu (hence, their colloquial name Reer Xamar or "People of Mogadishu",[1] though the city itself is postulated to be a successor of ancient Sarapion[2]), their members actually trace their origins to diverse groups. The latter primarily comprise various other Somali clans, with some additional influences from the ancient Emozeidi Arabs, Persians, and South Asians.[3][4]


Reer Xamar were instrumental in helping to consolidate the local Muslim community, especially in the coastal Benadir region.[5][6] During the colonial period, they were also among the founding members of the Somali Youth League, Somalia's first political party.[7]
