By 1912 Darod pressure forced Warday Galla across the Tana and WaBoni into serfdom

Evidence

By 1912, when administrative and military posts were opened by the British in this turbulent northern part of the East African Protectorate, the situation was still fluid. The Darod were still on the move and were now seeking to dominate completely the whole region from Buna in the west, through Wajir, to the Tana in the south-east. Many of those non-Hamitic WaBoni hunters who had survived the tides of migration and battle had now become the serfs of the Darod, and most of the Warday Galla who remained had to be moved across the Tana River to prevent their extinction by the Somali. A good number, however, chose to stay with their former Darod subjects as clients, thus completely reversing the earlier position when the Oromo had been masters of Jubaland. — I.M. Lewis, I. M.
