Borbor is married with four sons and two daughters and lives in Dubek, a village in Dirre. He is known as the "walking encyclopedia" of Boran culture, a society which is highly democratic though patriarchal.

Borbor: "Tadhi Galgalo and his wife Abyot Gabura at the naming ceremony of their first born son Liban. They live in Yabello town but are having the ceremony in a rural village. I was invited and brought a goat as a gift."
