Gaboye history recorded by the Italians and British.
Many regions of Somalia are inhabited by people who cannot, in any respect, be considered as belonging to the great Somali group, indeed these populations are viewed by the Somalis as inferior and united in the derogatory name of bon. First of all, the individuals who exercise some trades among the Somalis themselves are considered to be of low caste, even if they belong to Somali tribes; They are divided into three groups: the Tumal who are the blacksmiths, the Madihiban hunters, doctors and leather workers, the Yibir, storytellers and fortune tellers. These low castes, however, do not constitute distinct groups, but live in the midst of the Somali tribes, whose names they take; for example, the TumaI of the Harti, the Tumal of the Marehan ect.
