Yusuf Ali Keenadid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yusuf Ali Keenadid was the founder of the Sultanate of Hobyo.
This sultanate in what is today the state of Galmudug, which seeks to be one of the constituent federated states of Somalia was founded in the 1880s.
Initially Keenadid's goal was actually to take control of the neighboring Majarteen Sultanate. However this was not working and by 1888 he had entered into a treaty with the Italians making his realm an Italian protectorate.
