The Ajuran (Somali: Ajuuraan, Beesha Ajuuraan, Morshe, Arabic: أجوران) is a Somali clan, part of the Jambelle clan which itself belongs to the largest Somali clan-family — the Hawiye. Ajuran members largely inhabit Kenya as well as southern east Ethiopia; considerable numbers are also found in southern Somalia.[1][2] Some Ajuran members are settled in Mogadishu.[3][4]
