Overview

[edit]

Clan's head elder serves as nominal Ugas of Harti clans.

The Italian explorer Giulio Baldacci who travelled along Somali coasts in 1906-1909 said:

"About 3+12 hours' walk from Bet Nur, we came to Bander Kasnin (also called by the Arabs: the native name is Bosaso), which was built about sixty years ago, the Kaptallah (a seafaring tribe, now almost extinct) being the first to build few huts there. They were joined by, not long after, by the Deshishe"
