Ahmed Nuh Ismail (Somali: Reer Axmed Nuux, Arabic: أحمد نوح ) is a Somali clan. It is a sub-clan of Sa’ad Muse,

Habar Awal, Isaaq. They mainly inhabit Hargeisa and its surrounding countryside in present day Somaliland. Ahmed

Nuh has a rich history spanning over many centuries. It is evident in the old quarters of Berbera as the majority of

those buildings are traced back to Ayala Ahmed. These historical facts are documented in the writings of early

Europeans, Arabs, and/or Orientals who explored the region. For instance, Richard F. Burton wrote:

“Ayyal Ahmed Nuh established originally at Berberah.”[1]
