Hiraab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hiraab is a Somali clan, and one of the Gorgaarte Hawiye subclans. Hiraab members live in central and southern Somalia, from Gaalkacyo to Kismayo. Most of them, such as the Abgaal, live in Mogadishu. Others live in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. They once formed a kingdom which successfully revolted against the the Ajuran Sultanate and established an independent Hiraab Imamate, which included Hobyo.^{[citation needed]}
