Overview[wax ka badal | wax ka badal xogta]

The Abokor Musa is a Somali clan that belongs to the Eidagalle clan of the Isaaq clan family. Members of the Abokor Musa subclan are descendants of Sheikh Ishaaq bin Ahmed. The Abokor muuse[1] is one of the large sub-divisions of the Muuse Daoud. They inhabit the Hargiesa and Salahley regions of Somaliland, in addition to the Somali Region of Ethiopia and Kenya, where they form part of the Isahakia community[2][3].The Abokor Muse traditionally consists of nomadic pastoralists, merchants, and skilled poets.[4]

Etymology[wax ka badal | wax ka badal xogta]

The Eidagale clan, a sub-clan of Habar Magaadle, traces its lineage back to Ismail Shiekh Ishaq, with Habar Magadle being their maternal clan. The name Eidagale is derived from their reputation as skilled fighters, often referred to as "Army joiners." Within the Eidagale clan, there are three prominent sons: Mohamed Daoud , Abokor Daoud, and Muuse Daoud, who later became the tribe's major and the head of the family .The Muuse Daoud, in turn, has two sons: Abokor Muse and Abdirahman Muse, forming a significant and influential branch of the Eidagale clan.

The name Abokor originates from the root word "Awar", which means "a large male camel.". The name is derived from a historical event involving Musa Daoud and his two other siblings, where camel breeding was a tradition passed down from their father, Daoud (Eidagalle).

The progenitor of the Abokor Muuse clan had two sons but is divided into five notable major sub-clans, which belong to the Musa Daoud family . The clan undertakes the traditional rural lifestyle of the nomadic Somali culture of herding camels and other livestock. However, they are also urban today and have exclusive urban towns in Somaliland such as Salahley and also inhibts in the southern districts of the Maroodi Jeex region.

Historically, the Abokor Musa made an influential Somali caravan trade in long-distance, procuring merchants different items from the Somali Region, such as livestock and other goods, into the markets of Hargiesa City, then the coastal city of Berbera, which were then subsequently exported to Southern Arabia.[5]

History[wax ka badal | wax ka badal xogta]

Lineage[wax ka badal | wax ka badal xogta]

Sheikh Ishaaq bin Ahmed , was of the scholars who crossed the sea from Arabia to the Horn of Africa[6] to spread Islam around 12th to 13th century. Hence, Sheikh Ishaaq married two local women in Somaliland that left him eight sons, one of them being Ismail (Garhajis)[7]. The descendants of those eight sons constitute the Isaaq clan-family.[8][9]

Medieval period[wax ka badal | wax ka badal xogta]

Historically, the Eidagalle participated in the conquest of Abyssinia ,were part of the Adal Sultanate ,and are mentioned in the book Futuh Al-Habash (Conquest of Abyssinia) as Habar Magaadle. The Habar Magaadle are known for producing a historical figure known as Ahmed Gurey bin Hussein who was the right-hand man of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi.[10]

I. M. Lewis discusses the existence of another leader named Ahmed Gurey, and suggests that the two leaders have been conflated into one historical figure:

The text refers to two Ahmed's with the nickname 'Left-handed'. One is regularly presented as 'Ahmed Guray, the Somali' identified as Ahmad Gurey Hussein, chief of the Habar Magaadle. Another reference, however, appears to link the Habar Magadle with the Eidagalle clan. Another Ahmed is simply referred to as 'Imam Ahmad' or simply the 'Imam'.This Ahmad is not qualified by the adjective Somali.The two Ahmad's have been conflated into one figure, the heroic Ahmed Guray[11]

For centuries, the tomb of saint Aw Barkhadle, which is located between Berbera and Hargeisa, was used by the Isaaq clans to settle disputes and to swear oaths of alliances under a holy relic attributed to Bilal Ibn Rabah. As traditional leaders of the Isaaq clans, the Eidagale placed themselves as mediators during the disputes.

When any grave question arises affecting the interests of the Isaakh tribe in general. On a paper yet carefully preserved in the tomb, and bearing the sign-manual of Belat [Bilal], the slave of one of the early khaleefehs, fresh oaths of lasting friendship and lasting alliances are made...In the season of 1846 this relic was brought to Berbera in charge of the Haber Gerhajis, and on it the rival tribes of Aial Ahmed and Aial Yunus swore to bury all animosity and live as brethren.[12]

For centuries, the Eidagale were influential stakeholders in the long-distance Somali caravan trade. Eidagalle merchants procured various goods from the Somali Region in present-day Ethiopia, such as livestock, acacia gum, myrrh ,and ghee, which were subsequently exported to Southern Arabia. The Ciidagalle caravan merchants founded several inland trade[13] entrepôts in the interior, which also includes the modern city of Hargeisa, founded in the 19th century as a caravan junction between Berbera and the Somali interior.[14][15]

Somalis of the Habar Gerhajis tribe arrive from Ogadain with feathers, myrrh, gum, sheep, cattle, and ghee, carrying away in exchange piece goods; they also make four trips in the season; they remain for less than a month, and during their stay reside with fellow-tribesmen, taking their meals in the mokhbâzah or eating-house.[16][17]
