Shabeellaha Dhexe

Middle Shabele (Somali: "Shabeellaha Dhexe") is an administrative region ("gobolka") in southern Somalia. As part of the former Benadir region, its capital was Mogadishu up until the mid-1980s, when the town of Jowhar became the capital. It is bordered by the Somali regions of Galguduud, Hiiraan, Lower Shabele, and Banaadir, as well as the Indian Ocean.

It is named after the river Shabeelle that passes through this region.

A pre–war census estimated the population at 1.4 million. Today, the regional council claims that the region’s population is 1.6 million. The major clans are predominant Hawie and shiidle.

Among the Hawiye clans in the region are: Abgaal, Galjecel; a minority include: Mobilen, Kabole and Hilibi. However, the Abgaal sub-clan are the predominant clan in Middle Shabelle. [ [http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTLAWJUSTINST/Resources/GundelTheroleoftraditionalstructures_1.doc] ]
