Kuwaajuule
Kuwaajuule (also: Kuuadzhule , Penisola Gangiule ) is a peninsula in Somalia . It belongs politically to Jubaland and geographically to the Bajuni Islands , a chain of coral islands ( barrier islands ), which extends from Kismaayo in the north over 100 kilometers to the Raas Kaambooni near the Kenyan border.
geography
The peninsula and Kismaayo form a kind of closure of the Bajuni Islands, as it is connected to the land and no longer belongs to the same reef edge as the more southern Bajuni Islands. In the vicinity of the peninsula there are numerous small islets, such as Matunga-iyo-Baaba , Smiid , Bishikaani and Salooto Feerde , as well as numerous rocks and reefs. The peninsula itself forms the Refuuji Bey with Bishikaani and Salooto Feerde in the north and a deep bay constricts the isthmus in the south. Raas Ogaden (Blankett Point) with the settlement of Qandal in the north and Raas Matooni in the southeast are the prominent points of the peninsula, the main body of which, like the other real reef islands, extends from north to south and in the manner of other reefs with numerous bays and Cliffs is broken.
climate
The climate is tropical hot monsoon climate .
