Somali:
Hobyo, also known as
Obbia), is an ancient port city in the north-central
Mudug region of
Somalia also known as The Heart of Somalia. Hobyo serves as the main pain port of
Galmudug State. From the 13th to 17th century Hobyo was ruled by the
Ajuran Sultanate. However, in the late 17th century the
Hiraab successfully revolted against the
Ajuran Sultanate and established an independent Hiraab Imamate, which included Hobyo.

Uppsala University, "the Imam of Hiraab is a hereditary position that traditionally is held by a person of the first-born branch."

HistoryEdit
Main article:
Ajuran Sultanate
Along with
Mareeg, Hobyo developed as a coastal outpost of various
Sultanatesestablished by
Somali pastoralists between the 15th and 19th centuries.
[3]
From the 13th to 17th century Hobyo was ruled by the
Ajuran Sultanate. However, in the late 17th century the
Hiraab 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."

Lee Cassanelli in his book
The Shaping of Somali society provides a historical picture of the Hiraab Immate. He writes:
"According to local oral tradition, the Hiraab imamate was a powerful alliance of closely related groups who shared a common lineage under the Gorgaarte clan divisions. It successfully revolted against the
Ajuran Sultanate and established an independent rule for at least two centuries from the seventeen hundreds and onwards.
[1]
The alliance involved the army leaders and advisors of the
Habar Gidir and
Duduble, a Fiqhi/Qadi of
Sheekhaal, and the Imam was reserved for the
Mudulood branch who is believed to have been the first born. Once established, the Imamate ruled the territories from the Shabeelle valley, the Benaadir provinces, the Mareeg areas all the way to the arid lands of
Mudug, whilst the ancient port of Hobyo emerged as the commercial capital.
[1]
Hobyo served as a prosperous commercial centre for the Imamate. The agricultural centres of Eldher and
Harardhere included the production of sorghum and beans, supplementing with herds of camels, cattle, goats and sheep. Livestock, hides and skin, whilst the aromatic woods and raisins were the primary exports as rice, other foodstuffs and clothes were imported. Merchants looking for exotic goods came to Hobyo to buy textiles, precious metals and pearls. The commercial goods harvested along the
Shabelle river were brought to Hobyo for trade. Also, the increasing importance and rapid settlement of more southerly cities such as
Mogadishu further boosted the prosperity of Hobyo, as more and more ships made their way down the Somali coast and stopped in Hobyo to trade and replenish their supplies.
[1]
The
Sultanate of Hobyo, led by
Yusuf Ali Kenadid, ruled Hobyo in the 1870s.
[4]
By the late 19th century, the imamate began to decline. Faced with internal problems, the imamate also faced challenges from the imperialist forces as well as the Zanzibari sultan, and even the Portuguese in the earlier years. By then, a young ambitious rebel called Kenadiid managed to invade Hobyo with the aid of the Italians. However, after few years, he was disposed and overthrown by a former commander of the Imamate named
Guuleed Faarax Jeex who put Hobyo back into the hands of the Imamate for a short period of time.
[4]
Soon afterwards, the entire region was snapped up by the fascists Italians and it led to the birth of a Modern Somalia. However, the Hiraab hereditary leadership has remained intact up to this day and enjoys a dominant influence in national Somali affairs."
[1]
Following independence in 1960, Hobyo was made the center of the official
Hobyo District. It was later incorporated into the autonomous
Galmudug administration, which was established in 2006
DemographicsEdit
Hobyo has a population of around 11,800 inhabitants.
[5] The broader Hobyo District has a total population of 67,249 residents.
[6] The city is primarily inhabited by people from the
Somaliethnic group, with the
Habar Gidir well-represented.
