Hintire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hintire are a subclan of the Hawiye, a Somali clan found in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and other African countries. The Hintire have close ties to the Ajuran, a prominent subclan in Somalia's history. [1] Notable historical members of the group include the Sultan Cashiir Maddoow, a 19th century Sultan of the Hantire based in the Buulomareegto region of Lower Shabelle, Somalia.
