The Biyomal, a small group that lives in the vicinity of Mogadishu, is a subclan of the Dir. According to the Supplement to Information on Country Conditions on Somalia, "The Dir family can be divided into three sections: Issa, Gadabursi, and Biyomal [Biyemal]" (Toronto Front 15 Feb. 1996, 51).

According to The Price of Peace: Somalia and the United Nations 1991-1994, the Biyamal are the majority clan in the Lower Shebelle (Gilkes 1994, 144). Gilkes distinguishes between the northern Dir and the southern Dir and notes that although the Biyamal were known for their struggle against the Italians, as a southern Dir group, they "were previously ignored." (144). Gilkes states that the Dir and particularly the Biyamal, supported the Southern Somali National Movement (SSNM), but adds that the SSNM had split. "Early in 1993 its chairman, Colonel Abdi Warsame, broke with General Aydeed and took part of the SSNM with him when he aligned himself with Ali Mahdi" (147).
