Among them live more than 20,000 Yibir (pronounced 'yih-burr'), a strange clan of blacksmiths and magicians with an apocryphal past that goes back over a thousand years. Centuries ago they levied astrological taxes and practiced an amalgam of Judaism and Islam. But those days are gone. And the tribe who were once kings, now live on Somaliland's scraps. They are the most mysterious tribe in Africa. And they are facing oblivion.
