Abokor Musa

Abokor Muse (Somali: Abokor Muuse, Arabic: أبوبكر موسى) is a Somali clan, and part of the Muse Daoud, which belongs to the Eidagale clan.

Overview
The Abokor Musa is a somali clan that belongs to the Eidagale clan of the Isaaq clan family. Members of the Abokor Musa subclan are descendants of Ismail Sh-Ishaaq.They inhabit the Hargiesa and Salahley regions of Somaliland, in addition to the Somali Region. Historically, the Abokor Musa traditionally consists of nomadic pastoralists, merchants, and skilled poets.

Etymology
The Eidagale clan traces its lineage back to Ismail Sh-Ishaq. The progenitor of the Abokor Muse clan had two sons, which belong to the Abokor Musa family. The clan undertakes the traditional rural lifestyle of the nomadic Somali culture of herding camels and other livestock. However, they have settlements in towns in Somaliland, such as Salahley, and also in the southern districts of the Maroodi Jeex region.

Historically, the Abokor Musa made an influential Somali caravan trade in long-distance, procuring merchants different items from the Somali Region, such as livestock and other goods, into the markets of Hargiesa City, then the coastal city of Berbera, which were then subsequently exported to Southern Arabia.

Medieval period
Historically, the Eidagalle participated in the conquest of Abyssinia, were part of the Adal Sultanate, and are mentioned in the book Futuh Al-Habash (Conquest of Abyssinia) as Habar Magaadle. The Habar Magaadle are known for producing a historical figure known as Ahmed Gurey bin Hussein who was the right-hand man of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi.

I. M.Lewis discusses the existence of another leader named Ahmed Gurey, and suggests that the two leaders have been conflated into one historical figure:

The text refers to two Ahmed's with the nickname 'Left-handed'. One is regularly presented as 'Ahmed Guray, the Somali' identified as Ahmad Gurey Hussein, chief of the Habar Magaadle. Another reference, however, appears to link the Habar Magadle with the Eidagalle clan. Another Ahmed is simply referred to as 'Imam Ahmad' or simply the 'Imam'. This Ahmad is not qualified by the adjective Somali.The two Ahmad's have been conflated into one figure, the heroic Ahmed Guray.

For centuries, the tomb of saint Aw Barkhadle, which is located between Berbera and Hargeisa, was used by the Isaaq clans to settle disputes and to swear oaths of alliances under a holy relic attributed to Bilal Ibn Rabah. As traditional leaders of the Isaaq clans, the Eidagale placed themselves as mediators during the disputes.

When any grave question arises affecting the interests of the Isaakh tribe in general. On a paper yet carefully preserved in the tomb, and bearing the sign-manual of Belat [Bilal], the slave of one of the early khaleefehs, fresh oaths of lasting friendship and lasting alliances are made...In the season of 1846 this relic was brought to Berbera in charge of the Haber Gerhajis, and on it the rival tribes of Aial Ahmed and Aial Yunus swore to bury all animosity and live as brethren.

For centuries, the Eidagale were influential stakeholders in the long-distance Somali caravan trade. Eidagalle merchants procured various goods from the Somali Region in present-day Ethiopia, such as livestock, acacia gum, myrrh, and ghee, which were subsequently exported to Southern Arabia. The Ciidagalle caravan merchants founded several inland trade entrepôts in the interior, which also includes the modern city of Hargeisa, founded in the 19th century as a caravan junction between Berbera and the Somali interior.

Somalis of the Habar Gerhajis tribe arrive from Ogadain with feathers, myrrh, gum, sheep, cattle, and ghee, carrying away in exchange piece goods; they also make four trips in the season; they remain for less than a month, and during their stay reside with fellow-tribesmen, taking their meals in the mokhbâzah or eating-house.
