Sab

The Sab are a clan family in Somalia, primarily inhabiting the interfluvial area of southern Somalia. They are composed of the Rahanweyn and Digil groups, who are largely farmers and agropastoralists. The Sab include both original inhabitants of the region and Somali groups who have migrated there due to favorable climate conditions. In contrast, other major Somali clan families like the Daarood, Hawiye, Dir, and Isaaq are predominantly nomadic pastoralists. The Digil and Rahanweyn, however, typically practice agropastoralism and live in settled villages and cities.12
