==History==
===Northern Sultanates===
{{main|Somali aristocratic and court titles}}
[[File:Sultan Mohamoud Ali Shire 2.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Mohamoud Ali Shire]], [[Sultan]] of the Warsangali Sultanate]]
The [[Majeerteen Sultanate]] (Migiurtinia) was founded in the mid-18th century. It rose to prominence the following century, under the reign of the resourceful Boqor (King) [[Osman Mahamuud]].<ref name="Metz">[[Helen Chapin Metz]], ed., ''Somalia: a country study'', (The Division: 1993), p. 10 {{ISBN|0844407755}}.</ref> Centred in [[Aluula]], it controlled much of northern and central Somalia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The polity maintained a robust trading network, entered into treaties with foreign powers, and exerted strong centralized authority on the domestic front.<ref>''Horn of Africa'', Volume 15, Issues 1–4, (Horn of Africa Journal: 1997), p. 130.</ref><ref>''Transformation towards a regulated economy'', (WSP Transition Programme, Somali Programme: 2000) p. 62.</ref>
With the gradual extension of European colonial rule into northern Somalia, all three sultanates were annexed to [[Italian Somaliland]] and [[British Somaliland]] in the early 20th century.
===Darawiish sultanate-emirate-chieftainship===

The Darawiish, mostly hailed from the Dhulbahante and drew the majority of its followers from this clan; the four major Darawiish administrative divisions, i.e. [[Dooxato]], [[Shiikhyaale]], [[Golaweyne]] and [[Miinanle]] were near exclusively Dhulbahante.<ref>Ciise, Jaamac (1976).

===Foundation of Puntland===
In 1998, the Harti community convened at [[Garowe]] to discuss their political future. The conference lasted for a period of three months. Attended by the area's political elite, traditional elders (''Issims''), members of the business community, intellectuals and other civil society representatives, the autonomous Puntland State of Somalia was established to deliver services to the population, offer security, facilitate trade, and interact with domestic and international partners.<ref>His Excellency Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud (Farole).
