Murule
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Murule is a Somali subclan of the larger Hawiye clan. The clan members live at the tip of the Kenya's North Eastern province, bordering Ethiopia and Somalia. They also live in Gedo, Jubba River and Hiiraan regions of Somalia.
Murule come from the larger Gugundhabe sub-clan of the Hawiye of Somalia. Gugundhabe is composed of Murule, Baadicadde and Jajeele. They live in the larger Hiiraan region of Somalia. They are made up of four clans: Sharmaarke, Yabarsiin, Kuuloow and Naabsoor.
The vast majority of the Murules live in the town of Mandera town, Arabia, Lafey, Fino, Waranqara, El Wak, Wargadud, Rhamu, Hareri, and Lebihiya. From the plains of Bambiyaryar to the fertile strip of Qorijab to the tips of Cirey labanass mountains to the banks of Dawa River, Murules are known for their nomadic and pastoralist activities.
