Tribal chiefs (Issims)

Isse Mahmoud exhibits two distinct traditions, known as (Issims), within their cultural framework. However, despite the subdivision of the sub-clan into three subs, referred to as (Jifo), it is likely that they possess a comparatively lower number of traditional leaders, commonly referred to as (Sultan), in comparison to other tribes in Majertein.

  • Islam Eise Islam Mohamed (Mouse Eise)
  • Sultan Sa'eed Mohamed Garase (Abokor Eise)
