Hobyo (Somali: Hobyo, also known as Obbia), is an ancient port city in Galmudug state in the north-central Mudug region of Somalia. Hobyo serves as the main pain port of Galmudug State. In the 1870s, Hobyo was conquered by Yusuf Ali Kenadid after overpowering the local hawiye clans and subsequently established the Sultanate of Hobyo which he ruled it until 1925. However, in the late 17th century the Hiraab successfully revolted against the Ajuran Sultanate and established an independent Hiraab Imamate. According to Dr. Bernhard Helander of Uppsala University, "the Imam of Hiraab is a hereditary position that traditionally is held by a person of the first-born branch."
