Gedo ('') in Jubaland , Somalia . Its capital is Garbahaarreey . Gedo is the second largest region of Somalia after Bari and is bordered by Ethiopia , Kenya , and the Somali regions of Bakool , Bay , Jubbada Dhexe , and Jubbada Hoose further down east. Gedo is part of the larger historical region of Jubaland . Gedo region's population exploded in the last twenty years reaching almost one million early 1990s after the civil war erupted in Mogadishu. Most of the newcomers to the region, suddenly left and resettled different parts of world. This new migration movement made Buuloxaawo the second largest district in Gedo. Lugh used to be the second largest city and district, Bardera being the first. At one time Buuloxaawo District became the largest city and district in the region. During 1990s In Northern Gedo The population in Buuloxaawo swelled 200 000. This was in early 1990s when the SNF military wing ruled Gedo region. The group ran into conflict with then well financed Al-Itahad Al-Islamia led by Dahir Aweys. The Islamic function's rule in Lugh District spilled over to Ethiopia and it soon began to threaten Ethiopia. By late 1998, the Ethiopian army rooted out Al-Itahad from Gedo region. SNF function led by Omar Haji, an army general and former minister, gave up control of Gedo region to no one, and hence a power vacuum developed. The Ethiopian army re-occupied Gedo northern districts of Lugh, Dolow and Beled Hawo. GEDO DISTRICTS Gedo region consists of seven districts, namely Baardheere , Buurdhuubo , Buuloxaawo , Doolow , Ceelwaaq , Garbahaarreey , and Luuq (also spelled Lugh). The regional capital is Garbahaarreey. Major rivers in the Gedo region include the Dawa and the Juba . Dawa river runs on the border between Ethiopia and Gedo region. Dolow town sits on Dawa's river banks. Juba river starts from Dolow, just north of Luuq District, then follows to Burdubo, Bardera then to Bu'aale and Jilib of Middle Juba region until the river empties to Indian Ocean at Goobweyn where one sees one of nature's splenders, red river waters merging into the vast blue ocean waters. There is a clear and as it seems, a permanent separating line between the two colours of the water; blue ocean waters and red river waters. Baardheere and Beledxawo |
