Hiran, Administrative region in central Somalia
The Shebelle River flows through Hiran, providing essential water resources across multiple districts spanning approximately 31,510 square kilometers of territory.
In 1990, Hiran experienced changes during Somalia's civil war, yet from 1998 onwards the region maintained greater stability than other parts of the country.
Multiple clans, including the Xawaadle and Murusade, shape the social fabric of Hiran through their traditions, governance systems, and reconciliation practices.
Beledweyne Airport facilitates transportation connections while the region contains eight administrative districts: Beledweyne, Buloburde, Mahas, Jalalaqsi, Mataban, Halgan, El Ali, and Far-Libaax.
The region borders five different Somali provinces and Ethiopia, creating a strategic location for trade and cultural exchange in the Horn of Africa.
