The Bartire (Somali: Bartirre, Arabic: بارتري), (or Barre Jidwaaq Absame) are a Somali sub clan, part of the Jidwaq of the major Absame branch, which whom belongs to the Darod clan. One of the largest Somali tribe-families.
Overview
Members of the Bartire clan primarily inhabit in the Somali Region of Ethiopia’s fertile and agricultural land. They reside near the city of Jigjiga stretching to the lower Fafan and upper parts of Jarar. Living in these regions along side the Abaskuul and Yabaree, which whom they make up Jidwaaq. The Bartire also live in Somalia, mainly in the southern region of Jubaland in the city of Bu'ale, and in Xagar near the city Kismayo. They also share borders with the Ogaden clan and Habar Awal of the Isaaq clan. Traditionally Jigjiga is the seat of the Bartire Garad Wiil-Waal.
History
The Habr Maqdi was a Somali confederation made up of the sub-clans Bartire and Yabaree now part of the Jidwaaq. The Bartire around the time of Adal Sultanate dynasty, in the 1500s were known for having a large army. They along with the Yabaree were also loyal to Imam Ahmed and fought in the Ethiopian-Adal War. During the Conquest of Abyssinia the sub-clans that comprised of Habar Maqdi frequently divided into two military factions. Ahmed Girri bin Hussein led the Yabarre sub-clan, while the Bartire sub-clan was commanded by a Malassay chief named Garad Dhaweyd.
It is well-documented that the Bartire sub-clan of the Habar Maqdi controlled the trade and caravan route to Berbera. The British explorer, scholar, and military officer Richard Burton, renowned for his African travels, highlighted the Bartire clan's longstanding connections with the Emirs of Harar.
Richard Burton writes
The Berteri, who occupy the Gurays Range, south of, and limitrophe to, the Gallas, and thence extend eastward to the Jigjiga hills, are estimated at 3000 shields. Whilst other animals have indigenous names, the horse throughout the) Of Darud origin, they own allegiance to the Gerad Hirsi, and were, when I visited the country, on bad terms with the Girhi. The chiefs family has, for several generations, been connected with the Amir's of Harar, and the caravan's route to and from Berberah lying through his country, makes
Garad Hirsi Farah Hirsi or better know as Wiil-Waal (Somali: Garaad Xirsi Faraax Xirsi Wiil-Waal, Amharic: ገራድ ዊልዋል) was a traditional Somali king who lived in the 19th century and hails from the Bartire Jidwaaq subclan of the major Darod clan. According to historical records the king was a man of strong, judgment and wisdom. He was a leader who spent most of his life in constant raids and defenses. He ruled and liberated the Somalis from the Galla Oromos in which is now apart of Jigjiga and its surrounding areas.
The story of Wiil Waal has been turned into a bilingual (English and Somali) children's picture book under the "Somali Bilingual Book Project" Wiil Waal: A Somali Folktale by Kathleen Moriarty, with illustrations by Amin Amir and translation by Jamal Adam. It's aimed at teaching about Somali culture, wisdom, and the importance of clever thinking.
