Surre (clan)
Summary
The Surre (Surre, سري), is a Somali clan, a sub clan of the major Somali Dir clan, The Surre inhabit in central and southern Somalia. And also can be found in Somaliland, Ethiopia and Kenya.
The Surre have been associated with spreading the Islamic faith in Somalia and the Qadiriya Sufi tariiqa in central and southern Somalia. They left what is now Somaliland in approximately 1316 C.E. for central and southern Somalia.
The majority of the western scholars (both Italian and British) simply referred to the Surre as the "Dir of Puntland and Southcentral Somalia" without differentiating them, but recent studies in Somalia revealed that the Dir in Nugal, Mudug, Galgaduud, Hiran, and Gedo are divided into two branches, the Qubeys and the Guutaale, both descendants of Surre.
the Surre were represented by the Southern Somali National Movement led by Abdi Aziz Sheikh Yusuf.
