History
[edit]Background

In October 2016, local presidential elections were held, which were won byAli Abdullahi Osoble.[2]On 11 March 2017, theHirshabelle Parliamentapproved a new Cabinet of 52 Ministers. In September 2017, the Parliament elected a new President,Mohamed Abdi Ware.[3]Ali Guudlaawe currently holds the position of president in Hirshabelle State since 2020. Out of the 99 members of Parliament, 86 cast their votes in favor of Ali Guudlaawe, with the remaining 13 votes going to Abdirahman Jimale Osman.

Transport
[edit]The road that passes through Jowhar and connects the cities ofJalalaqsiand Mogadishu is considered relatively safe. The road from Jalalaqsi toBuloburdeserves as a supply route for the city of Buloburde, but may be subject to attacks byAl-Shabaab.The road from Bulobarde through the Halgan village inBeledwaynepasses through Al-Shabab territory, and is therefore more susceptible to attacks by the group. At the same time, the movement of civil transport can be carried out through the territory of Al-Shabaab.
