Murule is a sub-clan of the Somali Hawiye clan. The clan members are principally concentrated in the North Eastern province. They are present in southern Somalia, where they are found in Gedo, along the Jubba River and in the Hiiraan region.
Murule come from the larger Gugundhabe sub-clan of the Hawiye of Somalia. Gugundhabe is composed of Murule, Baadicadde and Jajeele and Saransoor. 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, Sala, 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.
