Hawiye is a Somali clan whose members live in central and southern Somalia, in larger numbers in Kenya and Ethiopia, and in smaller numbers in other countries. Like many Somalis, Hawiye members trace their ancestry to Irir Samaale. The CIA and Human Rights Watch indicate that Hawiye is the largest Somali clan.[1][2] Other sources, including the Canadian Report of the Somalia Commission of Inquiry, indicate that the Darod is the largest Somali clan.[3][4] As of 2007, Hawiye is the dominant clan in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.[5]
History
The first reference to the Hawiye dates to the 13th-century writings of the Arab geographer, Ibn Sa'id, who describes Merca as the "capital of Hawiye country". The 12th-century cartographer Muhammad al-Idrisi may have referred to the Hawiye as well, as he called Merca the region of the "Hadiye", which Herbert S. Lewis believes is a scribal error for "Hawiye", as do Guilliani, Schleicher, and Cerulli. The first use of the name "Somali", however, dates to the soldiers' songs of Emperor Yeshaq I of Ethiopia (reigned 1414–1429).[6]
Al Jazeera News reported on 13 April 2007 that senior Hawiye leaders declared war on the Ethiopian Army, which is positioned inside Somalia, and called upon their fellow Somalis to join them.[7]
