The Dhulbahante (Somali: Dhulbahante, Arabic: البهانتة) is a Somali clan family, part of the Harti clan which itself belongs to the largest Somali clan-family — the Darod.[1][2][3] They are the traditional inhabitants of the physiographic Nugaal in its topographic sense, and its pre-independence administrative sense,[4] which included Doollo.[5] The clan's progenitor is buried at Badweyn.[6]
The Ali Gheri clan were the first tribe to adopt the Dervish (Daraawiish) identity.[7][8][9] Colonial administrator Douglas Jardine, stated the following about Dervish demographics:[10]

The supreme Garad of the Dhulbahante is currently Garad Jama Garad Ali.[11][12]
