Ahmed Yusuf Mahamud
Ahmed Yusuf Mahamud (Somali: Axmed Yuusuf Maxamuud, Arabic: أحمد يوسف محمود) was a Somali ruler. He was the fourth Sultan of the Geledi sultanate, reigning from 1848 to 1878 and succeeded his father Yusuf Mahamud after his demise at the battle of Adaddey Suleyman. Ahmed's rule marked a period of great prosperity in the Sultanate and with his death in 1878 the Geledi decline began. The sultan was credited as having brought over 20,000 Somali troops to free the slaves of Zanzibar.
