Hiraab is a Somali clan,Mudulood Hiraab , Madarkicis Hiraab, Mahamud Hiraab and Martiile Hiraab is one of the Gorgarte Hawiye subclans. Hiraab members live in central and southern Somalia, from Galkayo and shiikhaal 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 Ajuran Sultanate and established an independent Hiraab Imamate, which included Hobyo.[1] According to Dr. Bernhard Helander of Uppsala University, "the Imam of Hiraab is a hereditary position that traditionally is held by a person of the first-born branch, the Mudulod."[2]
