The Al Bu Sa’ad (Arabic: ال بو سعد) or Banu Sa’ad (Arabic: بنو سعد) - not to be confused with the Banu Sa’d - are a small Hashemite tribe mainly located in the northern coast of Somalia/Somaliland and parts of Yemen. They originated from the Hijaz, before migrating to Iraq, moving to Yemen and finally settling into Somalia.[1][2][3]
