Galdogob ((ソマリ語:''Galdogob''), (アラビア語:جلدغب)), also spelled Goldogob, is a town located in the north-central Mudug province of Somalia.〔AF press clips, p.21.〕 Situated in the autonomous Puntland region, it lies approximately six kilometers southeast of the border with Ethiopia. It is the capital of the Galdogob District. ==Overview== Galdogob is strategically located on one of the oldest roads going into Ethiopia's portion of the Somali-majority Ogaden. It is a spot to rest for Somali travelers heading to and from Addis Ababa, Werder, Djibouti, Jijiga, Dire Dawa, and Geladi. Over 100 buses and heavy trucks pass through the city daily. ; Galdogob is a rapidly growing town. It has a very reliable electricity and telecommunications sector. The district's fresh water is provided by the Galdogob Water System (GWS), which was founded by a group of local businessmen. All this has helped Galdogob develop into a relatively large urban area. Visitors to Galdogob will find high-speed internet cafés, hotels, taxis, and other amenities. Education plays a vital role in the lives of the people, and private schools teach computer skills, English, mathematics, science, and Islamic studies. Galdogob also has a thriving livestock industry: hundreds of thousands of camels, sheep, goats and cattle are purchased here and shipped through the busy port of Bosaso every year. The city's livestock trade is at its most brisk during the hajj period, when over a hundred thousand heads of livestock are sold and shipped to the Gulf states again through Bosaso. Galdogob has recently also seen the arrival of migrants from the more southernly areas of Somalia seeking work and a safer place to live. In October 2014, the firm Tawakal Money Express (Tawakal) also began construction of the four-storey Tawakal Plaza Galdogob. The new high rise is slated to be completed by the end of 2015, and will feature a Tawakal Global Bank customer and financial services center, conference and event halls, restaurant and coffee shop facilities, and a luxury hotel. 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「Galdogob」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
