The
Majeerteen Sultanate (, ), also known as
Majeerteenia and
Migiurtinia, was a
Somali Sultanate centered in the
Horn of Africa. Ruled by
Boqor Osman Mahamuud during its golden age, it controlled much of northern and central
Somalia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The polity had all of the organs of an integrated modern state and maintained a robust trading network. It also entered into treaties with foreign powers and exerted strong centralized authority on the domestic front. Much of the Sultanate's former domain is today coextensive with the autonomous
Puntland region in northeastern Somalia.
