 The Gabboye occupational clans, which include the numerically few Madhiban, Yibir and Tumaal (collectively referred to as "sab") and the Wardei clan, have over the years obtained little political representation within Somalia.Their general social status has correspondingly improved with the expansion of urban centers.However, due to their foreign, non-Somali origins, people from the Bantu and Wardei ethnic minority groups still often face societal marginalization.
