'''Darod''' ([[Somali language|Somali]]: '''Daarood''') is a [[Somali people|Somali]] [[clan]] named after a [[Yemen|Yemenite]] [[Arab]], [[Ismail Darod]], who migrated to the coast of present-day [[Somalia]] around [[1200]] [[Common Era|CE]]. Ismail Darod, along with [[Isaaq]], is considered to be one of the common ancestors to all Somalis. Some sources, including the [[Canada|Canadian]] ''Report of the Somalia Commission of Inquiry'', indicate that Darod is the largest Somali clan. Conversely, [[Human Rights Watch]] shows [[Hawiye]] as being the largest. The Darod population is centered in northeast [[Somalia]], with substantial populations in southern Somalia, northern [[Kenya]], and [[Ethiopia]]'s [[Somali Region]] (particularly the [[Ogaden]] area).

'''KESZ, 99.9KEZ-FM''', is a [[Adult Contemporary]] outlet based in [[Phoenix, Arizona]]. The [[Clear Channel Communications]] station broadcasts at 99.9MHz with a ERP of 99kw.

The third Somalian leader [[Abdirashid Sharmarke]] and the late dictator [[Siad Barre]] were both members of the Darod clan.
