Hiran (Somali: Hiiraan, Arabic: هيران) is an administrative region (gobol) in central Somalia and part of the Hirshabelle State.

It is approximately 31,510 km2.[5] The Shebelle River flows into Hiran from Ethiopia, coursing through the provincial capital of Beledweyne.

Recent history

[edit]

Somalia's civil war started around 1990. Since 1994, the Sharia law has been increasingly applied in Hiran.[19]: 20 

In June 1995, Mohamed Farrah Aidid declared himself president of Somalia and attempted to rule Hiran, but was ousted by local clans in late 1995.[19]: 8 

According to a 1998 report, Hiran is considered a relatively stable region within Somalia. However, banditry has flourished in the past. The governor lives in Beledweyne, and the use of militias has reduced the incidence of fighting, with the exception of Mataban District.[19]: 14 

In June 1999, flooding in south-central Somalia caused extensive damage in Hiran.[20]

In November 2001, the Quran School was attacked by an armed group, killing 18 students.[21]

In August 2006, the Xawaadle and Murusade clans, who had been fighting in the Maxaas of Hiran, reconciled.[22] However, the agreement was violated and the conflict resumed, so a peace conference was held again in October 2007.[23]

In November 2007, militants attacked government forces near Beledweyne in Hiran.[24] In January 2008, militants attacked an Ethiopian military base near Beledweyne.[25]

In September 2010, the establishment of a local government called Dooxada Shabeelle was proclaimed in Kalabayr, Hiran, led by C/fataax Xasan Afrax.[26]

In March 2011, a bombing by Al-Shabaab occurred in Beledweyne.[27]

In December 2011, Ethiopian troops and Ahlu Sunna Waljama'a completely retook the city of Baladweyne from al-Shabaab.[28]

In May 2013, Governor Hiran decided to send deserter soldiers from al-Shabaab who are hiding, and asked the local population for help in sending them to rehabilitation facilities.[29]

In November 2013, a disease outbreak killed 40 people in Ceel-Cali, Hiran.[30]

In March 2014, Hiran's executive government asked foreign charities for help, saying that healthcare was in crisis after the withdrawal of a Swiss hospital last year.[31]

In October 2014, the AMISOM base in Hiran was attacked.[32]

In May 2015, at a meeting in Beledweyne, a proposal was made to divide Hiran into two regions.[33]

In December 2015, the Somali government replaced Governor Hiran for his involvement in the murders in Beledweyne.[34] In the same month, the Somali President visits Beledweyne.[35]

In January 2016, three people were killed in a clan war in Hiran.[36]

In August 2016, Somalia's interior minister rejected a local request to divide Hiran into two regions.[37]

In October 2016, Somali government and Ethiopian troops withdrew from the Halgan District of Hiran and were replaced by al-Shabaab.[38] The withdrawal of Ethiopian troops is reportedly related to a state of emergency declaration issued in response to anti-government protests in Ethiopia.[39]

In December 2016, Governor Hiran destroyed more than 50 charcoal burning facilities in Mataban District to prevent illegal logging and arrested more than 20 people.[40]

In November 2017, the Hiran government declared a halt to the use of Somali shillings because villages controlled by al-Shabaab refused to accept high denomination 1,000 Somali shilling bills and because of the influx of counterfeit bills from Puntland, which caused massive inflation. United States dollars were to be used for transactions.[41]

In October 2019, Beledweyne was severely damaged by the flooding of the Jubba and Shebelle Rivers.[42] In November 2019, the African Union Commission assisted flooded Beledweyne with $87,000 worth of relief supplies.[43]

In March 2020, President Mohamed Abdi Ware of Hirshabelle State dismisses Hiran Governor Ali Mohamed Arale and reappoints his predecessor Ali Jeyte Osman, but Arale refuses.[18]

In June 2022, a clan attacked the al-Shabaab base in Booco.[44]
