Sheikh Maxamed Yuusuf Maxamed 'Rabiic', Sheikh of the culimo known as Xerta Timoweynta of the Qaadiriya in one of his headquarters, Yagoori in Caynaba district. He has been buried yesterday in qudbiga Sheikh Abbaa Yoonis, the tomb is named after the progenitor of his subclan. Garoowena salaada Jimca looga duceeyey. They are called Timoweyn, because of their hairstyle, inspired by the hairstyle of Nebi Ibraahim. Separated and grown long. Many Somali followers are still not comfortable with the latter.

 

Sheikh Max'ed Rabiic arrived from the Hawd to the Nugaal valley in 1948 after he completed studies of Sheikh Max'ed Khaliif in Dhagaxbuur. He opened his first Jaamaca in Xudun, but presently the largest Timoweynta centres are in the outskirts of both Yagoori and Garoowe. Sheikh Max'ed Rabiic was a well known man throughout Somalia with great knowledge. He was the most powerful Sheikh in Puntland, mainly because he controlled heavy armoury such as tanks and technicals left behind by the Somali government in Northwest Somalia pre-1991.

 

His base in Yagoori has been in the news at the height of the tension between Puntland-Somaliland, when Somaliland accused these heavily armed Timoweyn wadaads of having ties with C/Y of Puntland based on tribal links when they humiliated Somaliland by threatening to attack them if their sovereignty is threatened after Somaliland demanded to confiscate their weapons. The Timaweyn stated that the weapons are to protect themselves and are neutral. The base in Yagoori is still sovereign to this day.
