Garre

For the language, see Garre language.

The Garre are a Somali pastoralist clan who live in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Chad. They are sub-clan of the Digil clan.[1] Almost all speak the Garre language, though it may be secondary to the Maay speaking sub-clan of Darrawe (Darrawa) who speak Maay as their first language. Their urban centers include Mandera, Moyale Takaba, Banisa and El Wak. The Garre are divided into the Tuff and Quranyowa sub-clans. While the Tuffs are further divided into the Ali and Adola groups, the Quranyow are divided into the Asare and Furkesha. Garre people are mixture of hawiye, dir and raahweyn but they more closer to hawiye than other clans.
