context_section_description: The inhabitants are predominantly ethnic Somalis, of almost 30 clans. The Ogaden (clan) of the Darod constitute one of the majority in the region, and were enlisted in the Ogaden National Liberation Movement, That is why the region is associated with the Ogaden Clan. However, this is disputed. Other Somali clans in the region are Isaaq, Gadabuursi, Issa, Massare, Degodia and Jidle and Karanle Hawiye clans.
