Gabiley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gabiley is the second main city after Hargeisa in the Woqooyi Galbeed region of Somaliland. It is renowned for its agricultural and farming industry and it is where most of the crops are produced in the whole of the country.
The cities and towns fall in this region are:
- Arabsiyo - it is famous for its farming and other attractions.
- Tog Wajaale - A large percentage of the national revenue come from this city.
- Kalabaydh - has large farming industry.
- Ceelbardaale - agricultural town
- Agabar - agricultural town
- Laasdhuure - agricultural town
- Cali Xaydh - routes to Djibouti and Hargeisa
- and many other villages.
Officially, Gabiley is a district region with the highest population and revenue among all other district areas and that is why its inhabitants are becoming increasingly frustrated for not being given a full regional status. Now, in the forthcoming elections of Somaliland, this has become one of the political agendas for some of the parties such as Kulmiye and Ucid.
Historically the Afraad Movement or (Jabhad) from Gabiley became the first and the most successful military wing of the SNM struggle against Siad Barre's regime.
