The Sultanate of Hobyo (Somali: Saldanadda Hobyo, Arabic: ุณูุทูุฉ ููุจูู), also known as the Sultanate of Obbia, was a 19th-century Somali Sultanate in present-day northeastern and central Somalia and eastern Ethiopia. It was established in either the 1870s or 1884 by Yusuf Ali Kenadid. In 1889, it became a protectorate of Italy and was eventually after the Campaign of the Sultanates, integrated into the colony of Italian Somaliland in 1927.
