Jalalaqsi (Jalalassi)[1] is a town in the south-central Hiran province of Somalia. It is situated on the Shebelle River, between Buuloburde and Jowhar. Jalalaqsi is among a few cities away from the main road of Somalia that connects most of the cities in the nation, the main road passes Jimbiley which is 9km away from Jalalaqsi, yet there is no road that connects from Jimbiley to Jalalaqsi except a rough road to Jalalaqsi.
Jalalaqsi has a population of around 60,800 inhabitants.[2] The broader Jalalaqsi District has a total population of 80,724 residents. The district is populated by the Ibraahim Ciise subclan of Hawadle who also live in bordering Mahaday District in Middle Shabelle[3]
In the mid-1988s there were four refugee camps with a population of around 85,000 Somalis in Jalalaqsi. At that time it was the third largest settlement in Somalia after Mogadishu and Hargeisa.[4]
