The Bandhabow are a confederacy of eight benadiri tribes that reside in Xamarweyne, Mogadishu, Somalia, and are one of the first groups to migrate to Xamarweyne. They are famous for making clothing called Alindi and are craftsmen, small traders, sailors and fishermen. This confederacy is mixed with gibil cad (Light skinned) and gibil madow (Dark skinned) tribes and no tribe is known for being strictly one or the other.
