Jeenihaar-Great Somali Poet
Maxamuud (Jeenihaar) was Suldaan (chief) by blood and custom. His father Haaj-Abdi was confirmed chief of Leelkase by Tanade kingdom. As government appointed chief, he was eligible of stipend. Jeenihaar means that Jeeni (hand) and Haar (scare) scare in his right hand caused by fight with man in Garoowe Market.

Jeenihaar was poet and possessed a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness. Because Leelkase lived with the Majeeten, the Majeeten can not accept such a chief, so the chief of Majeetenia complained against my grandfather to the local magistrate run by Italian. The chief complains was that if Jeenihaar become chief of Leelkase, he will set on fire in the whole region (now known as Puntland); therefore, the magistrate remove his chieftainship. There was no inquiry or investigation he lost fortune and his title. He clearly told the magistrate had no legitimate power over him. When it came to tribal matters, he was guided not by the laws of Italian but Leelkase custom and traditional elders. He told magistrate and chief in public and private he would not rest until he gets his right and he would fight both to the end. His heart lit on fire and he fought Majeetin Chiefs in many years (with the help of Leelkase kingdom in Mudug).

The Lelkase tribe reached back for twelve generations of Tarade. The Lelkase people can divided into Mahamoud Ali (eldest son), and Muse Ali, Reer Hassan(habad), Maalismuge, and Korshe (in Ethiopia). Leelkase are part of Tanade kingdom who lived, hunted, camel herd, live stocked, and finished in the rich eastern region of Somalia, between the horn of an Indian ocean to the south (Hafun, Eyl, and Bander Beyla), and in land Gardho, Garoowe and Galkayo since at least last ten century as pharaoh called this place punt -land (the land of fragrance),. However, a large number of the Korshe subclan live in the Ethiopian city of Dire Dawa, as well as Jijiga and Fiq District in the Somali Region of Ethiopia, and well into the Oromia Region as well.The word Lelkase is said that it mean “"one who knows his layl prayer” or one who perform the voluntary Muslim prayers. This made them disciples of Somali tribes. They were respected in the whole Somali peninsula.

Jeenihaar saw Leelkase in Bari (eastern region) as people of peace and servitude. He left with long poet known “Qol ninkii yeloow beraad qoomaa u dhiman” it mean “regeted a man who does not prepare for tomorrow” Jeenihaar went to Mudug region to rise up Leelkase in this region as Mohamoud Asad said “Cidwalba oo la durijiray, diricyaa u kaca oo intay dacar u leefaan, daajiya xoriyaadii” it mean “every belittled people hero will raise and lead them to freedom” Jeenihaar’s poet can be find book known as “Collection of Jeenihaar’s Poetry” by Ismail Jeenihaar.
