Clannism (in Somali culture, qabiilism)[1] is system of society based on clan affiliation.[2]

The Islamic world, the Near East, North and East Africa in general, and Somali culture specifically, is patriarchal[3] and traditionally centered on patrilineal clans or tribes.[4] Some forms of clannism have been described as having aspects of ancestor worship.[5]
