What on earth is the Ogaden sultanate of Jubbaland?I admit there were hybrid systems, some more centralised and others more decentralised. What you are describing is probably the Dhulbahante experience. However, the Ogaden sultanate of Jubaland was different. The Sultan ruled with a council of elders made up of the hereditary heads of the subclans who were in turn answerable to their people. But that's the beauty of this confederal monarchy. If Dhulbahante want a loose system in their monarchy, they can do so.
The Mohamed Zubeyr and Aulihan were fierce rivals that fought each other just as much as they fought Marehan.
The Aulihan were divided between South and North, you had the North Aulihan ruled by Hajji 'Abdurrahman Mursaal who fought against the British, whilst the South Aulihan were not interested.
