Somali clan

Hubeer is a Somali clan,[1][2] Settled in the regions of Bay (Qansahdere & Baidoa districts), Lower Shabelle (Wanle Weyn district), Gedo (Bardere district) and Lower Juba (Kismayo & Afmadow districts). The assassinated Somali Minister of Public Works Abbas Abdullahi Sheikh Siraji was a member of the Hubeer clan.[3]Other prominent figures of this clan include Prof. Hussein Iman, one of the top Somalia agronomists, and Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Omar, formed Attorney General before the civil war.

Though Hubeer is associated politically with Digil and Mirifle clans or Rahanwein, genealogically Hubeer is descended from the Yahabur Samaale which is one of the two major clans of Somali ethnic, the other one being Darod.[4][5][6][7]
