What made abudwak become a city, and what made it so strategic?

[Thecoolguysomali]

Why is this city abudwak so successful, and what made it have so many subs of marexan migrate to it like reer dini celi wagardhac howraarsame habar ciise etc, why couldn't they build it in another tuulo? Or town like Saaxo or Geladi or somewhere else?

[STARKAST]

I believe it is the last frontier town in the former territories, so in affect this is why it remains the base for all mudug mx.
in the 20th century and before, MX has countless other tuulos and towns in central Somalia.

From caabudwaaq to saaxo is around 50 miles and caabudwaaq to balanbale is 50 miles

Caabudwaaq is in the middle between those two towns.
