The Hawiye tribe is a Somali clan. They live mostly in central and southern Somalia, but also in smaller numbers in Kenya and Ethiopia. The Hawiye descended from Irir Samaale, a common ancestor to Somalis. Human Rights Watch indicates that Hawiye is the largest Somali clan.
Abdullahi Isse, the chairman of the Somali Youth League (which fought for Somalian Independence), Aden Abdullahi Osman, the first president of Somalia, and General Daud Abdulle Hirsi, the father of the Somali military, were all members of the Hawiye clan.
