Baho Nugaaled
Summary
The Baho Nugaaleed (Baho Nugaaleed, باهو نوغال), is a division of Somali clan that is part of the Dhulbahante clan-family. The primary homeland of these clans include the regions of Sool and Togdheer in Somaliland, the Lower Juba region in Somalia and the Dollo Zone in Ethiopia. The Bah Nugaaleed are composed of three major sub-groups in accordance with their locality in the SSCD regions. These groups are Qayaad, the Ugaasyo, the Reer Aymeed and Reer Oodeed (including Qayaad).
The primary purpose of the confederation is to balance the political weight of the Farah Garad and Mohamoud Garad. Beyond this the various sub-clans that enumerate under the confederation do not necessarily share any exclusive clan allegiances.
Members of the clan confederation have a significant presences in the cities of Las Anod, Buuhoodle, Garowe and Kismayo.
Dervish movement (Somali)
The Reer Aymeed subclans of Bah Nugaaleed are distinguished by their tendency of usage of boqor and suldaan for clan chieftains; they include the Hayaag whom settle in Ceegaag, the non-Dudub Khalid subclans of bah Nugaaleed whom settle in Sooljoogto, and the Yaxye in Goljano and Qayder. Among other Dhulbahante clans, warriors from the Baho Nugaaleed segments of the Dhulbahante were constituents of the large and prestigious Shiikhyaale division of the Dervish Movement. The Hassan Ugaas and Qayaad which constitute the two largest sub-clans of the major Dhulbahante division of Baho Nugaaleed made their name as one of the most ardent fighters for the movement. Western colonial figures such as Eric Swayne likewise commented on the ardent nature in support of the Dervishes by the Baho Nugaaleed Dhulbahante, spelling the Qayaad clan as "kayat":
The Yaxye or Yahye sub-clan of Baho Nugaaleed constituted one of the four constituents of Golaweyne. Bohol Warabe, which was traditionally a Hamud Ugaas town, hosted a base for the Burcadde-godwein subdivision of Dervishes.
