Its administrative capital is Dusmareb. The largest town in the region is El Buur, which lies at the centre of the region.
Galguduud is bordered by Ethiopia; the Somali regions of Mudug, Hiran, and Middle Shebelle (Shabeellaha Dhexe); and the Indian Ocean. The largest clan in this region is the Hawiye, specially the Murusade and the Duduble subclans, as well as the Habargidir. The region of Galgaduud and southern Mudug formed the Galmudug State by 2016, which considers itself an autonomous state within the larger Federal Republic of Somalia, as defined by the Provisional Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
