Gedo, Administrative region in southwestern Somalia
Gedo spans across plains and hills, bordered by Ethiopia and Kenya, with the Jubba River flowing through its eastern territories.
The region emerged in 1974 as an administrative division, and parts of southern Gedo belonged to the British Trans-Juba territory from 1890 to 1960.
The Marehan clan maintains strong influence throughout the region's districts, with traditional poetry and storytelling central to local heritage preservation.
Travel within Gedo requires security clearances and coordination with local authorities, as the region experiences periodic political tensions.
The University of Gedo stands as one of Somalia's educational centers, contributing to the restoration of higher learning after the civil war.
