Marehan or marexan is the best clan in somalia every president the ruled somalia that were marehan ruled the country very well ...

Population figure[edit]

The number of the Darod (of which Marehan is a sub-clan) is estimated at 1.5 milion. The estimate in this article does not seem consistent with that figure. Furthermore there is no source backing up the estimate given of the number of Marehan in this article, nor is the year indicated in which the estimate was made. That is the reason why I deleted the number. Anyone wanting to put it back. Please give a source and if possible the number put on the complete Darod.S710 10:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahmed Gurey[edit]

I have removed the claim that Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi (or Ahmed Gurey) was a member of the Marehan clan. See Talk:Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi#Somali clan? for further discussion. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:54, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This continues to be an issue. In the past 24 hours, two different IPs have added Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi to the list of notable Marehan without any supporting attribution(s). Note that at one time or another, Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi has been added to the "Notable people" list in most of the individual Somali clan articles. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:28, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I propose semi-protection if this continues. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 14:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

The article, in its current state, paints the Barre regime in a positive light, and suggests that any accomplishments on the regime's part typify the positive attributes of the entire clan. Thus I've tagged the article with {{POV}}. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The "NPOV" tag has long since been removed, though the problems remain. I'm restoring it, and adding the {{Not verified}} tag, as well. (Statements such as "The Marehan are popularly considered as the most fiercest nationalists among the Somali people" need attribution, aside from PoV issues.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moved PoV text[edit]

The text in question has since been removed and re-added at least once. I am moving it here to the talk page. As previously explained this needs to be cleaned up for PoV if it is to remain in the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Marehan are popularly considered as the most fiercest nationalists among the Somali people. It is why the Marehan today do not recognize the universal Somali independence day of July 1, 1960 as they say they were never colonized. Straddling between the Ethio-Somali border and the Kenyan-Somali border, they have always played key roles in both the rising up of Somali nationalistic fervor and the charge into action towards the attainment of a one greater Somalia.

The Marehan are recorded in history ranging from the Arab Shihab Ad-din's ancient chronicles to Richard Burton's modern analysis of the East African sub-region as a force to be reckoned with and the epitome of the Somali and his characteristics.

The British sent several punitive expeditions into the Marehan country during World War II but they were rebuffed and watched from the sidelines as the Marehan signed a treaty of peace and cooperation with the Italians giving the Marehan a respite against imperialism and the Italians a respite from Marehan fury.

The Marehan continued to practice their heavy influence among the Somali people with the ascension of President Mohamed Siad Barre into power. The country became the scientific laboratory of the Marehan and its subsequent modernization and development was put into place. Cities sprung up. The Somali language was standardized on Latin script, which led to literacy blossoming from 5% to 55%.[1] Equality was promoted, and the over all livelihood of the Somali rose tremendously under the tuteluge of the Marehan.

Marehan not surprisingly once again led the Somalis into the Ogaden War with the fulfillment of the legacy of Imam Ahmed Gragn in mind. They succeeded on the whole only to withdraw after the Communist world led by the Soviet Union and Cuba came to the immediate aid of the Ethiopians[1]. The Marehan are currently considered one of the strongest proponents of a re-emergence of a strong and viable Somali state with their disdain of the civil war and the applause they are receiving as they are increasingly realized as a vehicle of force towards the re-emergence of their homeland from civil war and anarchy.

The moved text has been sitting here undiscussed for many months. It seems like the lower half of the moved text has sources, and as such could be included in a rewritten form. If there is no further debate, perhaps the POV tag can be removed. Phyesalis 05:20, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Marehan/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Somalia has never been an effective government under any other clan. 
Marehan is truly Nationlist and no any other has demonstrated that upto the present day.

They have been independent politically and impartial in the civil war but other clans have sought assistance from Ethiopia. Once the SNF chairman Omar Haji Masale sought assistance from Ethiopia but as a result he was sacked by the merahan elders who have replaced him with Barre Hirale. 

This clearly demonstrates that the Marehan are fiercesly nationlists.
On other hand, Marehan in the last years abused power under Siyad Barre regime.

The Marehan ([Mareexaan] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help), Arabic: مريحان, Marehan bin Ahmed bin Abdirahman bin Is'mail bin Ibrahim al Jaberti) are a Somali clan. They are one of the major Darod sub-clans, forming a part of the Sade confederation of clans. The majority of the Marehan live in the Jubbada Hoose, Gedo and Jubbada Dhexe regions (gobolka) in southwestern Somalia, as well as the Galguduud and Mudug regions in central Somalia, the Ogaden, and the North Eastern Province.

History[edit]

One of the earliest mentions of this Somali clan may be by the Jesuit Jerónimo Lobo, who attempted to enter Ethiopia by way of the Jubba River in 1624. He learned of an ethnic group known as the Maracatos, whom C.F. Beckingham identifies as the Marehan, and whom Lobo located in the approximate location of the Somali clan.[1]

Between the 17th and 18th centuries, the Marehan were reported to have lived in an area that extended from Bender Ziyade on the Gulf of Aden to beyond Ras el-Khail on the Indian Ocean, or much of northern Somalia.[2] Marehan are recorded as having played a significant role in Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi's campaigns against Ethiopia during the 16th century. The commander of the Somali forces and the closest deputy of the Imam was a Marehan commander, Garad Ahmed bin Hirabu. The Marehan helped push westward into the plains of Jijiga and farther, helping destabilize the highland Christian empire. Evident in these battles were the Somali archers, namely the Marehan and the Gerri archers, through whom al-Ghazi was able to defeat the numerically superior Ethiopian Army that consisted of 16,000 cavalry and more than 200,000 infantry.[3]

The Marehan were also the allies of the Somali religious leader Sayyid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, and fought against the British. In a boast of Hassan, he declares his power and reach is such that he can climb even the highest trees that exist; the trees of the Marehan. This is meant to signify that Hassan is so powerful that he even has the support of the powerful Marehan and only they, out of the rest of the Somalis, can aptly describe the reach of his power.[citation needed] As early as 1850, the Marehan were recorded moving into Jubaland. It was recorded that:

"To the east the Somalis were once more on the move. By 1850, one of the Darod Somali groups, the Marehan crossed the Juba in force. In 1865 they went on to break the Tana Galla [sic] and by 1880 had turned on the Boran. Pagan peoples in this region were now being dominated by Muslims, and peasants by nomads from the north."[4]

Myrrh[edit]

According to some authorities, the term 'Myrrh' might have been derived from the Somali clan Marehan (Murryhan - Mareexaan):

"On the hills and uplands the prevailing forms are gum-yielding acacias, mimosas, euphorbias, and the aromatic growths from which are obtained by the frankincense and myrrh of commerce, and for which the region, like the opposite coast of Arabia, has always been famous. Some authorities have even derived the word myrrh itself from the Marehan (properly Murreyhan) tribe, in whose territory it is obtained in the greatest perfection."[5]

Clan tree[edit]

There is no clear agreement on the clan and sub-clan structures and many lineages are omitted. The following listing is taken from the World Bank's Conflict in Somalia: Drivers and Dynamics from 2005 and the United Kingdom's Home Office publication, Somalia Assessment 2001.[6][7]

In the south central part of Somalia the World Bank shows the following clan tree:[8]

  • Darood
    • Kablalah
      • Koobe
      • Kumade
    • Isse
    • Sade
      • Mareehan
      • Facaye
    • Ortoble
    • Leelkase (Lelkase)

In Puntland the World Bank shows the following:[9]

  • Darod
    • Marehan
    • Awrtable
    • Lelkase
