Introduction

The Garre are one of the Somali tribes. They converted to Islam in the 1400s. Today, the Garre claim to be virtually all Muslims, being very orthodox in their religious practices. The members of a Garre clan remain very loyal to each other, whether in Somalia or further south in Kenya.
