Galgudud

[CoolPoisons]

Galguduud (Somali: Galguduud) is an administrative region (gobolka) in central Somalia. It is bordered by Ethiopia, the Somali regions of Mudug, Hiiraan and Middle Shabele, and the Indian Ocean. The capital is Dhusa Mareb but the largest and commercial city is Caabudwaaq (Abudwak).

Galgaduud is known for its peace and security despite clan diversity. Among the Somali regions that have large number of livestock, goats that have the best taste of quality meat in Somalia are found in Galgadud region.

The district of Ceelbuur (former Mudug regional capital) is a historic place. Ceelbuur is the only place where its people go to mining for their livelihood in the whole country of Somalia. The craftsmen there make beautiful Burjikos and Dabqaads. The Somali charcoal-fired cooking stove made entirely of crafted Sepiolite stone mined in the Ceelbuur region.

The region has also various mineral resources including the largest deposits of uranium in the African continent.

Galgaduud is the only peaceful because its people are busy fighting in the south.

We gotta send a squad of scientist to go research whats being put in the wells of Galgaduud because for some reason everyone from there is extremely aggressive and just like to fight.

Same goes for Mudug.

[COSTA]

Desert just like Kalahari thats why they all left to south of Somalia

[Voltage]

Shirib loooooool Costa answered your question...people from there are aggressive because of the scarce resources, the fittest survive.

[The_Patriot]

voltage incase they discover uranium in galgaduud what are you going to do?

the other thing is if the ilkoyar left the region for Kismayu then it means they are very very few indeed.

Voltage the Ilkoyar of Gedo or C/waaq who are the majority?

[eyes-only]

how can one put down "ceel-dheer" as one of the districts and fail to name abgaal as one of the main clans of galgaduud? Needless to say the person who wrote that knows a lot about mareexaan and diddly squat about much else.

[Luq_Ganane]

I heard the uranium deposits in the water make people coco, lool...


Patriot,

Dude, theres more Marexaan in Galbeed than Mudug/Galgudud, and theres probably 3x as much in Gedo, home to Sade.

[The_Patriot]

so where are you from?
Gedo or C/waaq?

[Starscream]

The inferior version of Mudug. It's all about Gaalkacyo, the capital of Central Somalia.

[IZNOGOOD]

Whats its population and the dominant tribe? marexaan or habar gedir??

[sadeboi]

galguduud has the smalled marexaan populations...gedo is like 8x their size..and i think ethiopia has the same number of SADE in Somalia.

Marexaan are the dominant group in all of mudug. Our sub-clans fight with clans.

^^

Patriot, I'm from Luuq/Baardhere (Gedo).


I heard my Great, Great Grandfathers left Caabudwaaq as a kid and settled there, and we've been Reer Gedood everysince. We always came into contact with Awliyahan and they were even cool throughout the civil war. Its those Ealay fockers I can't stand. Awliyahan and Sade should take Bay/Bakool and drive the beggers into Eithiopia, lool...

[The_Patriot]

Cawliyan leave in Bakool (ceelberde) but this guys are geeljire they have gone as far as Marsabit and occassionaly fight with samburu.

[Luq_Ganane]

^^

loooooool....


I thought they were farmers not geeljires??
