Beledweyne (Somali:Beletweeyne, Arabic:بلد وين) is a city in south-central Somalia. Located in the Beledweyne District, it is the capital of the Hiran province. The town is situated in the Shebelle Valley near the Ogaden, some 206 miles (332km) north of Mogadishu. Beledweyne is divided by the Shebelle River into eastern and western sections. By area, it is the fourth largest city in Somalia.
History
Beledweyne is an old settlement area. Following the relocation of his capital to Taleex in 1909, Mohammed Abdullah Hassan and his Dervish forces constructed a fort in the Ogaden near Beledweyne to consolidate his control over the Ogaden region.
During the 2006-2009 phase of the civil war, the internationally backed Transitional Federal Government (TFG), supported by Ethiopian troops, seized control of the town from the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) in the Battle of Beledweyne in 2006. However, by the end of 2008, the radical Islamists had regrouped and Al-Shabaab, a splinter outfit of the ICU, had retaken all of the city in addition to much of southern Somalia.

Flood-hit Beledweyne town appeals for assistance
Somalia is still struggling to recover after the worst floods in recent history left an unknown number of people dead and thousands more displaced. Authorities in Beledweyne town, which was worst hit by the floods, want the international community to assist the country in finding lasting solutions to the situation. In November 2019, Somalia and the United Nations Development Program, launched a 10 million dollar project to expand weather monitoring resources and to train the population in water conservation and flood management.

Somalia floods: more than 450,000 people affected in Beledweyne
At least 200-thousand people in central Somalia have been displaced by heavy rains and flooding.
The wet weather comes after a prolonged drought that has left millions of people on the brink of famine.
The United Nations says it needs 2.6 billion dollars to help Somalis this year.
In January, only 20 percent of that appeal had been funded.

Beledweyne (Somali:Beletweeyne, Arabic:بلد وين) is a city in south-central Somalia. Located in the Beledweyne District, it is the capital of the Hiran province. The town is situated in the Shebelle Valley near the Ogaden, some 206 miles (332km) north of Mogadishu. Beledweyne is divided by the Shebelle River into eastern and western sections. By area, it is the fourth largest city in Somalia.
History
Beledweyne is an old settlement area. Following the relocation of his capital to Taleex in 1909, Mohammed Abdullah Hassan and his Dervish forces constructed a fort in the Ogaden near Beledweyne to consolidate his control over the Ogaden region.
During the 2006-2009 phase of the civil war, the internationally backed Transitional Federal Government (TFG), supported by Ethiopian troops, seized control of the town from the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) in the Battle of Beledweyne in 2006. However, by the end of 2008, the radical Islamists had regrouped and Al-Shabaab, a splinter outfit of the ICU, had retaken all of the city in addition to much of southern Somalia.
