The Bartire (Somali: Bartirre, Arabic: بارتري), (or Barre Jidwaaq Absame) are a Somali sub clan, part of the major Jidwaaq Absame branch, which belongs to the Darod clan, one of the largest Somali tribe-families.

Overview

Members of the Bartire clan primarily inhabit the Somali Region of Ethiopia’s fertile and agricultural land around the city of Jigjiga, Shabelay - stretching to the lower Fafan along with The Abaskuul & Yabaree, which whom they make up Jidwaaq. They also settle the upper parts of the Jarar Valley and to the South in Somalia’s Jubba region from Xagar, Bu'aale to Kismayo . They also share borders with the Ogaden and Habar Awal clans.

History

Habr Maqdi

The Habr Maqdi was a Somali confederation made up of the sub clans Bartire and Yabarre, now part of the Jidwaaq under the Darod Absame. They played a key role in the Ethiopian-Adal War, known for their large army and loyalty to Imam Ahmed. During the Conquest of Abyssinia, the sub-clans of the Habar Maqdi frequently divided into two military factions. Ahmed Girri bin Hussein led the Yabarre sub-clan, while the Bartire sub-clan was commanded by a Malassay chief named Garad Dhaweyd.

It is well-documented that the Bartire sub-clan of the Habar Maqdi controlled the trade and caravan route to Berbera. The British explorer, scholar, and military officer Richard Burton, renowned for his African travels, highlighted the Bartire clan's longstanding connections with the Emirs of Harar.

Richard Burton writes

The Berteri, who occupy the Gurays Range, south of, and limitrophe to, the Gallas, and thence extend eastward to the Jigjiga hills, are estimated at 3000 shields. Whilst other animals have indigenous names, the horse throughout the) Of Darud origin, they own allegiance to the Gerad Hirsi, and were, when I visited the country, on bad terms with the Girhi. The chiefs family has, for several generations, been connected with the Amir's of Harar, and the caravan's route to and from Berberah lying through his country, makes

Garad Hirsi Farah Hirsi or better know as Wiil Waal (Somali: Garaad Xirsi Faraax Xirsi, Amharic: ገራድ ዊልዋል) was a traditional Somali king who lived in the 19th century and hails from the Bartire Jidwaaq branch of the Darod. The king was a man of strong judgment and wisdom. He was a leader who spent most of his life in constant raids and defenses. He ruled and liberated the Somalis from the Galla (Oromos) in which is now apart of Jigjiga and its surrounding areas

The story of Wiil Waal has been turned into a bilingual (English and Somali) children's picture book under the "Somali Bilingual Book Project" Wiil Waal: A Somali Folktale by Kathleen Moriarty, with illustrations by Amin Amir and translation by Jamal Adam. It's aimed at teaching about Somali culture, wisdom, and the importance of clever thinking.
