Galkayo ((ソマリ語:''Gaalkacyo''), (アラビア語:جالكعيو)), also known as Gallacaio or Rocca Littorio,〔Dr Badal Kariye Ba Bsit Ma Mba & Phd, ''The Kaleidoscopic Lover: The Civil War in the Horn of Africa & My Itinerary for a Peaceful Lover'', (AuthorHouse: 2010), p.116.〕 is the capital of the north-central Mudug region of Somalia. The city is divided into two zones, where the main northern portion forms part of Puntland state, while its southern tip is governed by the Galmudug administration. During the early modern period, the area was ruled by the Sultanate of Hobyo. It later formed a part of Italian Somaliland at the start of the 20th century. Following independence, Galkayo was made the center of the Galkayo District. The city has grown considerably in recent times and serves as a commercial hub.〔 , it has an estimated population of 137,667 inhabitants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://docs.unocha.org/sites/dms/Somalia/UNDP-POP-RURAL-URBAN%202005.pdf )〕 ==History== In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Galkayo formed a key part of the Majeerteen Sultanate of Hobyo (Obbia) established by Sultan Yusuf Ali Kenadid.〔 Initially, Kenadid's goal was to seize control of the neighboring Majeerteen Sultanate (Migiurtinia), which was then ruled by his cousin Boqor (King) Osman Mahamuud. However, he was unsuccessful in this endeavor, and was eventually forced into exile in Yemen. A decade later, in the 1870s, Kenadid returned from the Arabian Peninsula with a band of Hadhrami musketeers and a group of devoted lieutenants. With their assistance, he managed to overpower the local Hawiye clans and establish the kingdom of Hobyo.〔Helen Chapin Metz, ''Somalia: a country study'', (The Division: 1993), p.10.〕 In 1888, Sultan Kenadid entered into a treaty with Italy, making his kingdom a protectorate known as Italian Somaliland. His rival Boqor Osman would sign a similar agreement vis-a-vis his own Sultanate the following year. Both rulers had entered into the protectorate treaties to advance their own expansionist goals. Kenadid sought to use Italy's support in his ongoing power struggle with Boqor Osman over the Majeerteen Sultanate, as well as in a separate dispute with the Sultan of Zanzibar over an area to the north of Warsheikh. In signing the agreements, the rulers also hoped to exploit the rival objectives of the European imperial powers so as to more effectively assure the continued independence of their territories. During the first municipal elections in 1954, Abdirizak Haji Hussein of the Somali Youth League became Galkayo Councillor. Following independence in 1960, the city was made the center of the official Galkayo District. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Galkayo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
