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. 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.

Demographics

In June 2006 Hahi had an estimated population of 2,971. 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.
