The Hawiye tribe is Somali largest 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 all Somalis. Human Rights Watch indicates that Hawiye always been the largest Somali clan, while the Canadian Report of the Somalia Commission of Inquiry states that Darod is being 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 members of the Hawiye clan.
