350 years ago they lived in Ethiopia where they were helped by the oromo to fight the ajuraan empire in bay and bakool. Then they settled in bay and bakool. Then invaded lower shabelle. Then abgal and murusade kicked them out. They came to hiiraan as guests. Gypsy clan.
This is what an abgal said now in the somalinet thread in political section to hawadle
Sahal learned his propaganda and lies from his clan elders. In the 1990s civil war the hawadle told the journalists that hawadle is the main hawiye subclan and how they r doninant.... kkkkkkk read below his clans lies and how hawadle r weak clan who begged gaaljecel for peace treaties.... he says hawalde control of beledweyne he lies... they only control one side...Your clan is not even the dominant power in Hiiraan
The Hawadle, described as the main sub-clan of the Hawiye, the largest and most powerful of Somalia's six main clans (AP 1 July 2001), are the dominant community in Hiran, and reportedly often clash with other sub-clans in the area over grazing and water rights (ibid.).
On 7 August 2000, fighting broke out between the Hawadle and Jajeleh (Jajeele, Jejele) sub-clans in Belet Weyne (Belet Huen, Beledweyne) (UN-ECOSOC 13 Mar. 2001) in which the Galje'el (Galjel, Gaaljaal), "traditional allies of the Jajeleh," were also reportedly involved (AP 9 Aug. 2000). The Associated Press reported on 9 August 2000 that Belet Huen "is a divided city, with the Hawadle controlling the east and the Jajeleh and Galje'el controlling the western part of the town."
The Somali newspaper Qaran' reported on 21 September 2000 that the Hawadle signed a peace agreement with the Galje'el, also a sub-clan of the Hawiye (AFP 5 Sept. 2000; AP 28 Aug. 2000), on 20 September 2000 to end fighting in Jowhar and Beledweyne (Qaran' 21 Sept. 2000), as well as in the villages of Daif, Burane and Ega Abdulle in the Middle Shabelle region (AFP 5 Sept. 2000). The fighting, which began on 27 August 2000, was "apparently sparked by incidents of banditry involving members of the two sides" (ibid.). Among other points, the agreement called for a return of expropriated property and the demarcation of clan territories (Qaran' 21 Sept. 2000).
