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.^[16][17]

• Sultan Sa'eed Mohamed Garase (Abokor Eise)^[21][22][23]
