IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
The IRBDC has no currently available
information on the Hamari clan or the Ayimanka sub-clan. A
Somali-speaking researcher in the IRBDC has not heard of either but
points out that Hamari closely resembles the Somali for Mogadishu
Xamar which would be Hamar in English. He suggests that Hamari may
indicate someone from Mogadishu rather than a clan. The IRBDC is
unable to confirm or corroborate this suggestion at the present
time.
