The Karanle is a major Somali, sub clan of Hawiye.[1] The Karanle inhabit Galgaduud, Banadir, Mogadishu, Hiiraan, Shabeellaha Hoose, Lower Juba and Mudug regions in Somalia; the Somali Region of Ethiopia; the region of Oromia surrounding the city of Harar and North Eastern Province in Kenya.[2]
The Karanle are traditionally the eldest subclan of Hawiye[3] and have played an important role in mediation. They are said to be the maternal ancestors of many large clan families such as the Hiraab, the Bimal and some Ogaden subclans.
The Karanle are credited for fighting foreign invaders in Somalia and Ethiopia where they historically shared a long border.[4][5][6][7]

The Hawiyas, in revenge, destroyed the crops around Harar in order to create a scorched earth policy and raided numerous cattle, which were partly owned by Aqa Gabru. The punitive expedition led by the Amhara faced an entire coalition made up of Geri Somali and Ogaden soldiers, but led by the Hawiya."
