Biography

The Isaaq Sultanate was established in the mid-18th century by, "Sultan Guled of the Eidagale clan." His coronation took place after the victorious battle of Lafaruug , in which Guled Abdi successfully led the Isaaq and "was crowned by the Isaaq clan after defeating the Absame tribes." After witnessing his leadership skills, "noble conduct and valiance," the Isaaq chiefs recognized his father Abdi who refused——to adopt the Sultan title preferring his son. Guled would be, crowned the first Grand Sultan of the Isaaq clan. Sultan Guled ruled the Isaaq from the 1750s up until his death in the early 19th century, where he was succeeded by his eldest son Farah.
