Sabti

The Sabti (Arabic: بنو سبتي ) are a Somali clan belonging to the larger Murusade clan, which itself belongs to the larger Karanle branch of the Hawiye clan. The clan is reputed for having a lengthy and flourishing mercantile history that dates back through history. The Sabti primarily reside in the central regions of Somalia, in Galgaduud and Mudug, as well as Banaadir and the Lower Shabelle in southern Somalia.

The Sabti's original homeland was in northern Somalia, but a section of the clan migrated south around the 13th century and settled along the Banadir coast up to the Shebelle River.The Sabti traditionally consist of nomadic pastoralists, coastal people, merchants and farmers.

The Sabti are subdivided among Sabti's three children. The following is a full genealogical list starting with Samaale, the forefather of the Somali clans; some names are, however, omitted.
