Galmudug, officially Galmudug State, is an autonomous region in central Somalia. It is bordered to the north by the Puntland region, to the west by Ethiopia, and to the south by other regions of Somalia.
Galmudug's name is derived from a conflation of the names of the Galgaduud and Mudug regions. Unlike the secessionist Somaliland region in northwestern Somalia, Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation. It considers itself an autonomous state within the larger Federal Republic of Somalia, as defined by the provisional constitution of Somalia.
Galmudug is the most centrally located area in Somalia. It is situated about 750 km from Mogadishu, Hargeisa, Bosaso and Harar in Ethiopia. The region is bordered to the east by the Indian Ocean, to the west by Ethiopia, to the north by Puntland, and to the south by the Hiran region.
On August 14, 2006, the autonomous Galmudug region was established. Mohamed Warsame Ali 'Kiimiko' was elected as the new administration's President, and the southern portion of Galkayo was declared the new polity's capital.
Estoy tan confundido, tan lento, hondo y turbio, tan tenue
que me apago. Mis ojos no se pueden enfocar y no lo han visto
todo, soy como un zomba rumbo a despertar.
Salven mi luz, traguenme amargo asi
como opio cobre derretido.
Que cuando sea dia en mi valle
la belleza har respetar.
Naufrago pero vivo, percibo un mundo adverso, los siento
discontinuo, bajo esta hipnosis creo coordinar un aire
nostalgioso, gano contacto con la realidad.
Salven mi luz, traguenme amargo asi
como opio cobre cera marrn.
Que cuando sea dia en mi valle
la belleza har respetar.
Hay lava en mi sistema, derrite las lagaas, he dormitado mucho,
fui acumulando el arte de ensoar cargo un estigma agudo,
mes desvanezco a plena voluntad.
Salven mi luz, traguenme amargo asi como opio cobre cera
