Hahi (Somali: Xaaxi, Arabic: حاحي), is a town in Oodweyne District located in western Togdheer, Somaliland.

History

Hahi started as a permanent well for pastoralists and became a settlement. In the 19th century, members of the Sufi order Dandarawiyah would establish a tariqa and jama'a (congregation) at the town. The order was founded by Sayid Mohamed al Dandarawi who was a student of Ibrahim al Rashid and their teachings spread from Arabia to Sudan before eventually reaching Somaliland via the Somali Sheikh Sayid Aadan Ahmed.^[2]^[3] It would spread to Sheikh although it remained much smaller than the established Qadiriyya or Salihiyya orders. A young Nur Ahmed would study in the tariqa of Hahi before a succession crisis would prompt him to leave and eventually see him take the title of Habr Yunis and Reer cali part of arab sub-clan Sultan.^[4]

Demographics

In June 2006 Hahi had an estimated population of 2,971.^[5] Hahi is inhabited by subclans of the Habar Yoonis Ugaadh Cumar, and reer Cali, and guyob Eidagale subdivisions of the Garhajis a sub-clan of the wider Isaaq clan family.^[6]
