Districts
Gedo region consists of six districts, though the Buurdhuubo District is also sometimes included (see map):
- Baardheere District
- Balet Hawo District
- Ceelwaaq District
- Doolow District
- Garbahaarreey District
- Luuq District
- Ceelcadde District
The regional capital is Garbahaarreey. Major rivers in the Gedo region include the Dawa and the Juba. The Dawa River runs on the border between Ethiopia and the Gedo region.
Doolow town is located along the Dawa. The Juba River starts from Doolow, just north of the Luuq District, then flows to Buurdhuubo, Bardera, then Bu'aale and Jilib of the Middle Juba region, until the river empties into the Indian Ocean at Goobweyn. There is a clear and seemingly permanent separation between the two colours where the red river outflow meets the blue ocean waters.

Famous quotes containing the word districts:
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
