Garad Saleban Garad Mohamed (Somali: Garaad Saleebaan Garaad Maxamed) was a Somali clan leader. He was the supreme Garad of the Mohamoud Garad and the second most senior traditional leader of the Dhulbahante clan.[1]
Garad Salebaan was a prominent and influential traditional leader.[2] He was a founding figure of Puntland in 1998,[3] and also of Khaatumo in 2012 after becoming disillusioned with the administration in Puntland. He has since returned to Puntland as a staunch ally of the regime. He has consistently remained opposed to Somaliland's presence in the Dhulbahante inhabited regions of Sool, Sanaag and Cayn.[4] [5] He has described the Puntland process of choosing legislators as corrupt, and that the Puntland administration regularly rescinds officials chosen by him.[6]
On November 18, 2022, Garad Salebaan died in Garowe, Puntland.[7] [8]
