Mudug, Administrative region in north-central Somalia
The Mudug region spans 72,933 square kilometers of territory between Ethiopia and the Indian Ocean, featuring both coastal areas and inland settlements.
The region transformed from the Sultanate of Hobyo in 1878 to an official administrative area in 1982 under the Siad Barre government administration.
The population of Mudug represents different Somali clans, including the Hawiye and Majeerteen groups, who maintain traditional pastoral and trading practices.
Travelers reach Mudug through the regional capital of Galkayo, which serves as the primary transportation and commercial center for the entire region.
The territory operates under a split administration system, with the northern section governed by Puntland and the southern portion controlled by Galmudug state.
