Haroun

The Haroun was the government of the 16th garad Diiriye Guure, the monarch of Daraawiish, a 19th century state based in Khatumo. The British government realized how important the haroun was. They said this about it:
but the Haroun, which was his emblem of power and seat of government, offered a fairly large though movable objective. Though the Mullah himself might escape, the capture of the Haroun meant the destruction of his prestige, and, in all probability, his own final surrender.Official History of the Operations in Somaliland, 1901-04;
