The Majeerteen Sultanates

Farther east on the Majeerteen (Bari) coast, by the middle of the 19th century two tiny kingdoms emerged that would play a significant political role on the Somali Peninsula prior to colonization. The 19th century of the Common Era began on January 1, 1801 and ended on December 31, 1900, according to the Gregorian calendar The Horn of Africa (alternatively Northeast Africa, and sometimes Somali Peninsula; shortened to HOA) is a Peninsula in East Africa These were the Majeerteen Sultanates of Boqor Ismaan Mahamuud, and that of his kinsman Sultan Yusuf Ali Keenadid of Hobyo (Obbia). Yusuf Ali Keenadid was the founder of the Sultanate of Hobyo. Hobyo (also spelled Obbia and Hobyaa) is an ancient harbor city in the Mudug region of Somalia. The Majeerteen Sultanate originated in the mid 18th century, but only came into its own in the 19th century with the reign of the resourceful Ismaan Mahamuud. The 18th century lasted from 1701 to 1800 in the Gregorian calendar, in accordance with the Anno Domini / Common Era numbering system Mahamuud's kingdom benefited from British subsidies (for protecting the British naval crews that were periodically shipwrecked on the Somali coast) and from a liberal trade policy that facilitated a flourishing commerce in livestock, ostrich feathers, and gum arabic. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was the formal name of the United Kingdom from 1 January 1801 until 12 April 1927 Livestock is the term used to refer (singularly or plurally to a Domesticated Animal intentionally reared in an agricultural setting to produce such as Food The Ostrich ( Struthio camelus) is a large Flightless bird native to Africa (and formerly the Middle East) Gum arabic, a Natural gum also called gum acacia, and chaar gund or char goond (in India is the hardened Sap taken from two species While acknowledging a vague vassalage to the British, the sultan kept his desert kingdom free until well after 1800. The British Empire was the largest empire in history and for over a century was the foremost global power.

Ismaan Mahamuud's sultanate was nearly destroyed in the middle of the 19th century by a power struggle between him and his young, ambitious cousin, Keenadiid. Nearly five years of destructive civil war passed before Boqor Mahamuud managed to stave off the challenge of the young upstart, who was finally driven into exile in Arabia. The Arabian Peninsula (in Arabic: شبه الجزيرة العربية šibh al-jazīra al-ʻarabīya or جزيرة العرب jazīrat al-ʻarab) A decade later, in the 1870s, Keenadiid returned from Arabia with a score of Hadhrami musketeers and a band of devoted lieutenants.
