Middle Shebelle, Administrative region in southern Somalia

Middle Shebelle spans across 22,663 square kilometers, featuring diverse landscapes shaped by the Shabelle River that flows through its territory for 150 kilometers.

The region underwent significant administrative changes in 2016 when it became part of the Hirshabelle State, with Jowhar designated as its capital city.

The population of Middle Shebelle includes nomadic communities and farmers, with the Abgaal and Galjecel clans maintaining their traditional practices in the region.

The area receives between 150 and 500 millimeters of annual rainfall, supporting both rain-fed agriculture and irrigation systems for food production.

The region contains eleven distinct districts, including Balcad, Adale, and Warsheikh, each contributing to the agricultural output of Somalia.
