The population of Gedo majority owned by the Somali - Clan at the Marehan, a Subclan the Darod . Ogadeni-Darod and some Borana - Oromo are also represented. The Gabaweyn (“ Bantu ”) ethnic minority lives on the Jubba .
history
The region was politically marginal until the Marehan-Darod Siad Barre seized power in Somalia in a 1969 coup.
During the civil war , the Islamist organization al-Ittihad al-Islami made Gedo its base in the mid-1990s, after it had failed in other places. It was largely destroyed in 1996 by an intervention by neighboring Ethiopia.
economy
Because of its location in the valley of the Jubba, Gedo is fertile in contrast to the otherwise largely dry rest of Somalia. The region's agricultural products are also brought to other parts of the country. There is also trade with Kenya across national borders.
In April 2007, an estimated 15–20% of the population in Gedo was malnourished and 108,000 people were being cared for by the World Food Program .
