Murusade

The Mursade or Mursade (Somali: Mursade; Arabic: مرسده) is a Somali subclan, part of the Karanle clan of the Hawiye clan-family. The Mursade clan, who also form some of the earliest inhabitants of the national capital Mogadishu, holds a prominent position in the city. They have established a strong presence in key districts like Wardhigley, Hodan, Deyniile, and Howlwadag over the years. Additionally, they reside in the renowned village of Buula Xuubey. These areas have become significant hubs for the Mursade clan, accommodating a substantial population that actively participates in shaping the city's social, economic, and political landscape. Their contributions have been instrumental in fostering the growth and development of Mogadishu. The Mursade clan also has a notable presence in El Buur and Galhareri, which are located in the Galguduud region of Galmudug State. These areas serve as significant settlements for the Mursade clan within the region. Additionally, the Mursade clan has a significant population in various areas of Lower Shabelle.
