Burdhubo District, also spelled Buurdhuubo, in Arabic بورطوبis a district in the southwestern Gedo region of Somalia.[1] Its capital is Burdhubo.
The terrorist group Al-Shabaab has operated in the district in recent years. On 4 November 2011, some of its members kidnapped ten district clan elders.[2] On 6 January 2012, Voice of America reported that the Somali media had stated that government troops, backed by Kenyan forces, were advancing into the area, while "al-Shabab" had withdrawn from the district.[3] In March 2014, it was reported that heavy fighting had broken out and that government forces, this time aided by Ethiopian soldiers, had forced Al-Shabaab to vacate the district.[4] [5]
A 12 April 2014 government decree announced that Hassan Mohamed Ali and Ali Mataan Ali had been appointed district commissioner and deputy commissioner respectively.[6] On 30 January 2015, Hassan Mohamed Ali confirmed that his deputy had been shot and killed by government troops.[7]
