Sultan Mohamed Sultan Farah (Somali: Suldaan Maxamed Suldaan Faarax, Arabic: سلطان محمد بن فارح) was the sultan for the Arap clan, part of the wider Isaaq clan family and the first traditional leader to join the Somali National Movement.[1] An influential figure who commanded the 10th division of the SNM and lead the demobilization process of the organisation in Somaliland.[1][2] The Arap's decision to demobilise applied pressure on other clans to follow suit.[3] playing an instrumental role in the Somaliland peace process.

Demobilisation Initiatives 1993

The Somaliland government sought unify SNM armed factions to ensure demobilisation and reintegration of ex-combatants into society.[4][5]

In early 1994, a well-staged ceremony was held in the Hargeysa football stadium, whereby Somaliland which clans publicly hand over their weapons to the government led by Muhammad Haji Ibrahim Egal.[3]
