Ughaz Roble I

[4][5][3] Ughaz Roble rose to prominence within the Issa (clan) during the latter half of the 19th century, eventually assuming the esteemed title of Ugaas, a position of leadership and authority.

The Italian explorer, Antonio Cecchi, noted that through his leadership, the Ughaz possessed the remarkable ability to amass a formidable army of up to 40,000 men in times of conflict or war.

He wears Turkish trousers, covers his shoulders with an ordinary canvas mantle and his head with a coarse tarbush, wrapped in a turban, in whose folds there is no shortage of papers and amulets.

He has rather kind manners, and in the speeches he takes on an oratorical character, imposing himself with great effectiveness, and at the same time he jokes with his subjects and even with the boys who graze camels.

It was there they saw a giant man with a deep black complexion, an unusually thin, dull face, sleepy eyes, prominent cheekbones, dressed in a snow-white coat, was standing there.
