Bandhabow
The Bandhabow[1] are a confederacy of eight benadiri tribes that reside in Xamarweyne, Mogadishu,[2] Somalia, and are one of the first groups to migrate to Xamarweyne.[3] They are famous for making clothing called Alindi and are craftsmen, small traders, sailors and fishermen.[4] This confederacy is mixed with gibil cad (Light skinned) and gibil madow (Dark skinned) tribes and no tribe is known for being strictly one or the other.
