The Ibran (Somali: Cibraan or Cimraan, Arabic: عمران, Full Name: Muhammad (‘Amran) ibn ash-Shaykh Isḥāq ibn Aḥmad) is a major clan of the wider Isaaq clan family.[1][2] Ibran had two sons, Egale And Yonis. Yonis's son Mohamed have two sons Abdalle, and Essa.[3] Its members form part of the larger Habr Je'lo confederation along with the Muse Sheikh Ishaaq, Sanbuur and Tol Je'lo clans.[4][5][6] Politically however, the Ibran are part of the Habr Je'lo.[7][8][9]

The clan primarily inhabits the Togdheer region of Somaliland, ( war imran district is their largest city ) as well as the Somali Region in Ethiopia.[10][11][12]
