## In short

Galmudug was declared in south [Gaalkacyo](/en/regions/mudug/) on 14 August 2006. On 30 July 2014 the federal government endorsed a new central regions state formed from Galmudug, Ximan iyo Xeeb and Ahlu Sunna Wal Jama'a. The present Galmudug State, with its capital at [Dhuusamareeb](/en/regions/galgaduud/), was set up in 2015.
