Baligubadle is a town in the southern Maroodi Jeex region of Somaliland.[2] The locality serves as the capital of the Baligubadle District, an administrative subdivision of the Maroodi Jeex region that was created in 1991 after regaining Somaliland independence,[3] and straddles the border with the Somali Region of Ethiopia. The town has approximately 18,000 inhabitants.[4]
The town's inhabitants are mostly pastoralist whereby the local economy is predominantly dependent on livestock trade, however small-scale rain fed farming is also practiced.[5]
History
The town of Baligubadle served as the administrative headquarters of the SNM[6] and played a crucial role in the formation of modern-day Somaliland.
In March 1990, Baligubadle hosted the sixth Somali National Movement congress whereby the role of the House of Elders (Somaliland) was formally institutionalized under Article 4 of the Somali National Movement constitution.[7]
Additionally, the constitution of the Somali National Movement was adopted at the organisation's sixth congress in the town in 1990.[8] Therefore, paving way for the future administration to govern for two years.[8]
Governance
A local council is made up of 9 elected officials are responsible for the provision of water, education, health, electricity, and sanitation in the town.[9] Councillors were first elected in 2001 and subsequently in 2012 and 2021,[9] continued decentralised processes has empowered the local council in effectively serving its populations needs.
