Buulo

Buulo is a town located in the Gedo region of Somalia. It lies in the southern part of the country, near the border with Kenya. The town is situated along the Juba River, a significant waterway that plays a crucial role in the region's agriculture and economy. Buulo is part of the Baidoa district, though it is geographically closer to the border regions.

Historically, the area around Buulo has been inhabited by various Somali clans, and like many settlements in the Gedo region, its development has been influenced by regional dynamics and the broader Somali conflict. The Juba River provides water for irrigation, supporting farming activities that are central to the local livelihood. The town serves as a local administrative and commercial center for the surrounding rural communities.

Buulo's strategic location has, at times, made it a point of interest in regional security matters. Access to water and its proximity to international borders shape its economic and social landscape. The town's infrastructure is typical of many rural Somali settlements, with ongoing challenges related to development and services.
