Bakool, Administrative region in southwestern Somalia
Bakool extends across 26,962 square kilometers of land with plateaus and valleys, containing five districts and numerous commercial centers.
The region emerged from the subdivision of Somalia's Upper Region in the 1980s and experienced military operations to reclaim Hudur from insurgents in 2014.
Different Somali clans, particularly the Rahanweyn groups including Mirifle and Digil, maintain their traditional practices and ceremonies throughout Bakool's districts.
The region operates in the East Africa Time zone and connects to neighboring regions Hiiraan, Bay, and Gedo through established transportation networks.
AMISOM Ethiopian National Defense Force maintains a military base in Hudur, while the surrounding rural territories remain under varying levels of control.
