The Mudug Region is located in central Somalia and is known for its diverse landscapes, which include plateaus, valleys, and rivers. The region is divided into two main districts: Galkayo and Hobyo. Galkayo serves as a significant commercial hub, while Hobyo is a coastal town with historical importance as a former port. The population of Mudug primarily consists of various Somali clans, contributing to a rich cultural heritage. The region faces challenges such as limited infrastructure and access to basic services, but it also has potential for agriculture and fishing, particularly along the coastline near Hobyo.
