The Hawiye (Somali: Hawiye, Arabic: بنو هوية, Italian: Hauija) is the largest Somali clan family.[1] Members of this clan traditionally inhabit central and southern Somalia, Somaliland,[2] Djibouti,[3] Ethiopia (Somali, Harar,[4] Oromia and Afar regions[5]) and Kenya (North Eastern Province, Eastern Province). They are also the majority in the capital city, Mogadishu.[6]
