Galmudug

Located between Ethiopia and the Indian Ocean, Galmudug encompasses 72,933 square kilometers of territory with two administrative capitals: Dusmareb and Galkayo.

The state emerged in 2006 through the merger of Galgaduud and Mudug regions, establishing a new administrative framework within Somalia's federal system.

The territory presents a diversity of Somali clans, including Hawiye, Darod, and Dir groups, who maintain pastoral and agricultural traditions.

Transportation infrastructure includes Ugaas Noor Airport in Dusmareb, Oshaka Airport in Galkayo, and the developing seaport of Hobyo for maritime connections.

The Galmudug Maritime Force patrols extensive coastlines along the Indian Ocean, coordinating with national agencies to protect maritime activities.
