The Hawiye ([Hawiiye] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help), Arabic: هاويي) is a Somali clan whose members live in central and southern Somalia, in the Somali Region and the North Eastern Province (currently administered by Ethiopia and Kenya, respectively), and in smaller numbers in other countries. Like many Somalis, Hawiye members trace their ancestry to Irir Samaale. The Central Intelligence Agency (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] Hawiye is the dominant clan in the Somali capital since 12th century, Mogadishu.[5]

History

The first reference to the Hawiye dates back 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.[6]

In the book First Footsteps in East Africa by Sir Richard F. Burton, it is mentioned:

"The Hawiyah are doubtless of ancient and pagan origin; they call all Somal except themselves Hashiyah, and thus claim to be equivalent to the rest of the nation. Some attempt, as usual, to establish a holy origin, deriving themselves like the Shaykhash from the Caliph Abubekr: the antiquity, and consequently the Pagan origin of the Hawiyah are proved by its present widely scattered state; it is a powerful tribe in the Mijjarthayn country, and yet is found in the hills of Harar."[7].

Al Jazeera News reported on April 13, 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. The clan has subsequently played a singular effort to fight against the Ethiopian invasion and the Somali government led by former president Abdullahi Yusuf [8]
