Demographics

The district is predominantly inhabited by the Reer Amir Nuur subclan of the Marehan Tribe. It served as a base for Siad Barre, the former President of Somalia, following his expulsion from Mogadishu in January 1991. A stream along the town's edge swells during the rainy season, occasionally disrupting transportation in and out of the town.
