In the history of Somalia , the Ajuran temporarily led a state that stretched from its capital, Kalafo in Ogaden, across the Shabeelle valley to Hobyo .

In 1989 the United Somali Congress (USC) was formed as a rebel organization of the Hawiye against the Siad Barres regime . He was instrumental in the fall of Barres in 1991, but then split between Habar Gidir and Abgal. During the civil war in Somalia that began in 1991, the capital Mogadishu was controlled by various Hawiye clan leaders and warlords, with Abgal and Habar Gidir in particular fighting for power. Currently (since 2006) parts of the Hawiye clan are fighting the Somali interim government because they feel they are insufficiently represented in it.

Well-known Hawiye were or are u. a. the current President of Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud , the former President Aden Abdullah Osman Daar , the warlords Mohammed Farah Aidid , Hussein Mohammed Farah and Ali Mahdi Mohammed , the former Interim President Abdikassim Salat Hassan , the Interim Prime Ministers Ali Mohammed Ghedi and Nur Hassan Hussein and the Hip-hop artist K'naan .
