Lower Juba (Somali: Jubbada Hoose) is an administrative region (gobolka) in the traditional region of Jubaland in southern Somalia. Its capital is Kismaayo. It is bordered by Kenya, the Somali regions of Gedo, Middle Juba, and the Indian Ocean.
   The region is named after the river Jubba that passes this region and empties into the Indian Ocean at Goobweyen. At Goobweyn, one witnesses of nature's most breathtaking scenes. Red Jubba River waters merging with the blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Kismayo is southern Somalia's second most populous city. Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia is the largest city in Somalia.
   Commercially, Kismayo is connected to Bardera and Baidoa. The nearest large trading cities. The port of Kismayo has been the jewel of maritime trade in Somalia, especially to all points from south of Mogadishu.
   The Jubbadda Hoose region consists of four districts:
  • Kismaayo (capital)
  • Afmadoow
  • Badhaadhe
  • Jamaame

Commerce and development projects

Jilib and Bu'aale district districts which until mid 1980s were part of the larger Lower Juba region. Those two districts together with three other districts (Sakow, Ceel Waaq, and Dujuma) taken from the then Upper Juba now form part of Middle Juba region.

Government and security

Kismayo, the region's capital was a thriving metropolitan before the civil war erupted in Somalia in 1991. This coastal city soon became a war zone. The Juba Valley Alliance (JVA), headed by Colonel Barre Aden Hirale, became the guardians of the city and the Lower Jubba region in general. People in Kismayo City started living life with normalcy and plenty of business activities and security guarantees until the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) overtook Kismayo, although they'd a prior agreement with Col. Barre not to invade Kismayo. ICU militia assumed control of Kismayo with the end of on September 23, 2006. After a heavy fight that lasted for two weeks with Transitional government backed by Ethiopian army, the ICU abandoned Kismayo and sarrounding cities on January 1, 2007.
   The city changed hands several times throughout the 1990s. But the Juba Valley Alliance maintained the longest control of Kismayo. The JVA fought against many times General Morgan Xirsi and his militia unsuccessfully. In 1992, Morgan was given a consent to be the leader of the city and is credited for maintainging order.* Xarunta Keydka Ummada, 2007
