Location of Woqooyi Galbeed in Somaliland/Somalia
Woqooyi Galbeed (Somali: Woqooyi Galbeed) is a region in Somaliland. Its capital is Hargeisa. It is bordered by Ethiopia, the Somaliland regions of Awdal, Sanaag, and Togdheer, and the Gulf of Aden. Woqooyi Galbeed is one of the six regions of the self-proclaimed and de-facto internationally unrecognised Republic of Somaliland (former British Somaliland) or northern Somalia.
When Somaliland declared independence, Woqooyi Galbeed was separated into two regions by the seccessionist tribal based government: one being Woqooyi Galbeed itself and the other being Saaxil.
This region consists of the following districts:
- Hargeisa
- Gabiley
- Adadlay
- Salahlay
- Allaybaday
- Sabawanaag
