Overview of Hudur, Somalia
Hudur is the capital of the Bakool region in southwestern Somalia, located about 450 kilometers northwest of the capital, Mogadishu, near the Ethiopian border. As an important border town in Somalia, Hudur is situated in a semi-arid savannah zone with a dry and hot climate, and its economy is based on animal husbandry and agriculture, with the local population mostly engaged in camel and goat herding and maize cultivation.
History and Current Situation
Hudur changed hands several times during the Somali civil war, and was once under the control of extremist groups between 2014 and 2020, before being recovered by Somali government forces. The town currently faces challenges such as poor infrastructure and lack of health and education resources, but remains an important trade hub for neighboring nomads. The town's population is estimated to be in the tens of thousands, mainly from the Dir clan.
Geography and strategic location
Hudur is strategically located and serves as a land route connecting central Somalia to the Somali Regional State of Ethiopia. The surrounding landscape is dominated by the flat Gobi and low hills, and water resources are strained during the dry season. Due to its remoteness and complex security situation, Hudur's development has long been limited by poor transportation and limited international assistance, but in recent years the government is gradually restoring basic administrative functions.
