The Garre are a
Somali pastoralist clan that live in
Somalia,
Kenya, and
Ethiopia. They are sub clan of
Digil clan family of Somalia. Almost all speak the Garre language, though it may be secondary to
Maay.The origins of the Garre are not clear, and there are some conflicting traditions among clan members. One tradition assumes that the Garre are of
Samaale origin being descendants of Garedheere Samaale. However, there are other traditions that associate the Garre Tuuf to the
Hawiye clan, while the Quranyow Mohamed have traditional links to the
Dir subclans of Mohamed Xinfitire. Complicating matters further is the recent Garre association with the
Digil subclan of the
Rahanweyn, which would make the Garre closely affiliated with the Tunni and Jiido of the lower
Jubba valley.
