Shabeellaha Dhexe ( Somali for Middle Shabelle ; Arabic شبيلي الوسطى, DMG Šabailī al-Wusṭā ) is a region ( gobolka ) in central Somalia . Their capital is Jawhar .

The region is named after the Shabelle River through which it flows. It is located on the Indian Ocean north of Mogadishu . Like Shabeellaha Hoose (Sub-Shabelle), it used to be part of the Benadir region with the capital Mogadishu as its capital.

The most important Somali - communities in Middle Shebelle are the Hawiye . Members of the Shidle minority also live near Jawhar .

Shabeellaha Dhexe is divided into the districts of Aden Yabal (Aadan Yabaal), Balad (Balcad), Adale (Cadale) and Jawhar . Other places and cities in the region are Mahaddayweyne and Warsheikh .

A private education initiative has increased the school enrollment rate in Shabeellaha Dhexe to about 24%, which is the highest regional rate in southern Somalia and about twice the national average.

Conflicts and the influx of internally displaced people from the embattled Mogadishu led to a deterioration in the food situation in the region in 2007, which was traditionally regarded as the “bread basket of the country”.
