Sharmarke Ali Saleh (Somali: Sharma'arke Cali Saalax; 1775 – May 25, 1861) was a leading 19th century Somaliland leader, captain, and merchant. He was known as "The African Rothschild " which indicates he was one of the richest man in Africa at that time and also the 'Political Boss of the Somaliland coast', a title which is a testament to his political influence in the region. [2] He was the governor and ruler of Zeila and Berbera between 1841 and 1861, and for a time was known as the richest man along the Somaliland coast. His descendants would go on to become the traditional leaders of the Musa Arreh sub-clan of the Habr Yunis clan.
