Garad Abdiqani Garad Jama
Garad Abdiqani Garad Jama (Somali: Garaad Cabdiqani Garaad Jaamac) was the twentieth supreme traditional clan sultan (Garad) of the Dhulbahante, and the tenth minister of foreign affairs of Somalia. In May 1991, the Garad led the Dhulbahante delegation at the Grand Conference in Burao and was first to table the case for Somaliland's secession. He was also one of several signatories of the Somaliland Declaration of Independence on behalf of the Dhulbahante.
