The Issa Musa are the more coastal sub-clan of the Habr Awal, and they live in the immediate environs of Berbera and extend southwards to Hargeisa. West of them but in proximity are the Sa’ad Musa, who extend from a narrow strip on the coast near Bullaxaar and El Sheikh towards the towns of Gebile and Hargeisa which they dominate, and across into their grazing lands in the rich plateau area of the ‘Haud’ in Ethiopia.
