'Biimaal History

Biimaal or (Bimalik)is one of the bigest east african tribes, which is well known as defending the western colony. The original name of Bimal is 'Bi-malik' (بي مالك), which is Muslim male name meaning 'being Lord' in Arabic. The “Bimal” is also an Indian muslim name, which means clean and unblemished (meaning-of-names, 2008).The Biimaal clan has more subclans such as Ismin, Dauud, Gaadsan, sa'ad and uncle Dabruube. The Biimaal or (Bimalik)has two Brothers (1) Isaaq Mohamed and (2) Quranle Mohamed.

The Biimaal descend to Mohamed ethnic group and estimated of about 2 million people who live mainly in the province of lower Shabelle, lower Jubba, Bakool and Gedo, large numbers of Biimaal also live in Kenya and Ethiopia. Their language, is Somali and Hamatic language; more specifically, similar to the Arabic language. The Biimaal Kingdom played a major role in Somali History during the 18th and 19th centuries. Under the Italian colony, the Biimaal people opposed against this invaders (Italy) and severely fought against them. During that time, thousands of Biimalis lost their lives. Today, they are the most numerous ethnic group in Somalia, settling the most populated area from Mogadishu to kismayo and as mentioned above in Gedo and Bakool region. However, they are not armed because of the civilization of these great people, avoiding to involve any Somali’s civil war.

Gaadsan (or Gadsan) is the subclan of Biimal, but many people confused the relationship between Gaadsan and Biimal. The reason is that Gaadsan left from his familiy when his brothers ( Da’ud, Sa’ad and Ismin ) disagreed who receive the inheritance of the crown from their father. However, Gaadsan( Biimaal subclan) moved to Ethiopia and is r one of the large tribes of the Dir. They mainly reside three countries: Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya. In Ethiopia Gaadsan clans reside three districts : the Liban district (Jarrati, Waladaya, Doolow and Guuredhamole), Godey district (Iimey and Boola), and Gashamo district (Nusdariiq, Marsin, Kabtinuur and Qabridhare). There is also other large group of Gaadsan, known as Gaadsan-Qalaawileey in Shabelle and Jubba regions, living with other Biimals group. In Kenya there is a third division of Gaadsan, known as Gaadsan-Kenya, found in many cities such as Bangal, Garseeni, and Hoolla.

Origins

The Biimaal was originally a major clan in which is today settle in lower Shabelle, lower Jubba, Bakool and Gedo. 1400-1900 the Biimaal kingdoms were trading with Arabs, particularly Omanian and Yemenis. The Biimaal tribe was the most powerful tribe in east Africa from 1400-1920. The Biimaal kingdom built large castles in the cost of Benadir, lower Shebelle and juba to protect Somali shores from the scavengers. In 1890-1907, the Italian regime tried many times to negotiate a land deal with Bimal king, but the king disagreed to compromise. In 1905 about 2000 Bimalis and 500 Italian soldiers were killed when they attempted to destroy these obstacles against Italian interests, which caused many Italian lives. Though many biimalis armies got killed they still dominated to protect Somali shore. After a long bloody battle, the Italian leader sleeked alliance with other Somali tribes which finally destroyed forces.

The Daarood tribes had migrated down to lower jubba in middle 19 century to occupy the land of the Biimaal who was dismantled by the colonial invaders. The previous presidents who were a Darood clan had planted the roots of Daarood in the land of biimalis. Habargidir of Hawiye subclan had made a master plan to settle and claim the lower Shebelle region, used by force displacement, looted the farms of the Biimaal people, displaced and killed thousands of the locals of biimaal.
