context_page_description: The Habr Je’lo is a major sub-clan of the wider Isaaq clan. The Habr Je'lo played a prominent role in the livestock and frankincense trade during the pre-colonial period. The Habr Je'lo also partook in a major organised front to oppose British rule in the late 19th and early 20th centuries under the leadership of Haji Sudi and other subsequent anti-colonial leaders hailing from the same clan. The Habr Je'lo are divided into three further sub-clans: the Mohammed Abokor, Musa Abokor, and Omar. Historically, the Mohammed Abokor were chiefly nomadic pastoralists, whereas the Musa Abokor and Omar obtained much of their wealth via their frankincense plantations in the mountainous interior adjacent to the coastline.
context_section_description: The Habr Je’lo reside in eastern Togdheer, eastern Sahil, western Sanaag and western Sool regions. This sub-clan also inhabits the Somali region in Ethiopia, especially in the Degehbur zone.
