Main article: Somali clan

The Habar Yoonis or Said Garxajis (also Habar Younis) is a Somali clan, part of the larger Isaaq group. Habar is the maternal grouping in the Somali tribal segmentations. Said Garxajis married, from the Daarood sub-clan, Geri Koombe(Aba-Yoonis). The most numerous Said Garxajis are from his Daarood (Aba-Yoonis) wife and hence the maternal segment's name.

The Habar Yoonis is a sub-clan of the Sheik Isaaq bin Hashim Clan. They are famous for being the only sub-clan in Somaliland that has a sizable population in all the cities of Somaliland and in Ethopia's Somali region. One of the ancestral cities of the Habar Yoonis is Burco and the Aroori plain, which they still inhabit and control to a great degree.

The Burco countryside where the Habar yoonis dominate to this date.

An Aristocratic Clan

This aristocratic clan's privileged position in society is evidenced by the fact that the first President of the Republic of Somaliland and her Territories was Abdurahman (Tuur) Ahmed, who hailed from the aforementioned clan. Additionally the largest sub-clan make-up of the Somaliland Parliament after the 2005 parliamentary elections was the Habar Yoonis.
