Garbaharey District (Somali: Degmada Garbahaarey) is a district in the southwestern Gedo region of Somalia. Its capital is Garbahare.
Demographics
The district is predominantly inhabited by the Reer Amir Nuur sub-clan of the Marehan tribe. It served as a base for Siad Barre, the former President of Somalia, following his expulsion from Mogadishu in January 1991. A stream along the town's edge swells during the rainy season, occasionally disrupting transportation in and out of the town.
