The Karanle (Arabic: قرنلي, Somali: Karanle) are a Somali clan, forming one of the six branches of the larger Hawiye clan.[1] The Karanle are geographically spread out across three countries: Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Among all of the Karanle inhabited regions of the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia is the where the majority of the clan reside. In Ethiopia, the Karanle are mainly found in Harar, Hubat, and Babile but they also inhabit the Somali Region, Dire Dawa and surrounding regions.[2] The majority of the Karanle Sub-clans predominantly reside in the regions of Ethiopia where the Somali population is predominant, with the exception of the Murusade Sub-clan, who reside in central and southern Somalia.
Karanle, was the firstborn son of Sheikh Ahmed (Hawiye),[3] and was born to his first wife Arbera, who is said to be of Yemeni descent, and thus was tasked with the duty of upholding harmony within the community. The Karanle have been notably involved in the facilitation of peaceful resolutions through mediation.According to historical accounts, they are recognised as the maternal forebears of several prominent clans, such as the Hiraab, the Bimal, and other subclans of the Ogaden clan. [4][5][6]
The Karanle are credited for fighting foreign invaders in Somalia and Ethiopia where they historically shared a long border.[7][8][9][10] Karanle's tomb can be found in Qundhuro, situated within the Haraghe region alongside his father, Shiekh Ahmed Hawiye's tomb.[11]
