Beled Hawo
Beled Hawo ((ソマリ語:''Beledxaawo'' or ''Buuloxaawo'')) is the second largest city in Gedo, the largest province in Somalia situated in the southwestern part of the country. The town is also the headquarters of Beled Hawo District, which, like most other districts in the region, is named after its principal town.
==History==
Beled Hawo was founded in 1910 by Xaawo Cismaan Gurey, a woman from whom the town's name is ultimately derived. Beled Hawo literally means "City of Xawo" in Somali. Also Xawa Samater Aaamin who was then the wife of a Somali soldier, Farax Looyaan, who was based in the Mandhera District of what was then the Northern Frontier District (NFD).
The town was completely rebuilt in the early 1960s, after the British had burned down its original structures. It is situated strategically where Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia where three borders meet together
Beled Hawo replaced Garbaharey as the capital of the Gedo region in 1985. The border with the Ogaden and the NFD, as well as its close proximity to Kismaayo brought wealth into the city, which made it grow dramatically. Beled Hawo then became Gedo's second largest town after Baardheere, and one of the most important cities in Somalia. Songs and plays have been dedicated to the city by many well-known Somali artists, praising its natural scenery and its hospitable and generous residents.
