Galguduud, Administrative region in central Somalia

The region extends over 46,126 square kilometers of land, containing several districts including Dusmareb, Adado, Abudwak, and El Bur Districts.

Following Somalia's civil war in 1991, Galguduud maintained stability under local clan control while other regions experienced significant disruption and conflict.

The Hawiye clan, particularly the Murusade subclan, forms the primary population group in Galguduud, with Abgaal and Habar Gidir subclans also present.

Galguduud operates in the Eastern Africa Time zone at UTC+3, with Dusmareb serving as the administrative center for regional government operations.

The territory contains substantial uranium deposits, ranking among the largest in Africa, while supporting extensive livestock production focused on goat farming.
