if Dhulbahante were not part of Somaliland their Garaad Ali would have not gone to London along with Ahmed haji ducaale and President Cigaal for the independence of Somaliland in 1960. See garaad cali in the back standing the man in the white suit right behind cigaal.
First of all, the British Protectorate no longer exists, and has not existed since the union was formed in 1960. Nevertheless, you need to read your history. Let Jama Qalib's article give you some perspective.
"Conclusion of Treaties of Protection that Britain had entered into with elders representing various Somali tribes or clans during 1884-86 were the basis of the north’s colonial history for the following seventy-six years. A lone, but important, non-signatory of those treaties of protection was the Dolbahante. The subsequent de facto association of this group and their homeland within the British Somaliland Protectorate administration was only by default and mutual expediency, but never a de jure. However, since the essence of the north’s independence in 1960 was only perceived as a transitory process to the reunification with the south, it was non-controversial. If otherwise, however, the then new State of Somaliland could not have inherited the Dolbahante homeland without the latter’s consent, and would not even now, had that issue not already been resolved by the reunification process. Because that independence would only be for the signatories of those treaties of protection, but the Dolbahabte that was not a party to those treat could only join it by own consent."
