Guled Abdi was the first sultan of the Isaaq Sultanate in northern Somaliland, chosen by the Isaaq clans in the mid-18th century after their victory at the battle of Lafaruug. He belonged to the Eidagale clan, and his descendants, the Rer Guled, kept the title with their seat at Toon near Hargeisa. The sultan acted chiefly as a mediator and war leader.
