Qalqas

Qalqas, also commonly spelled "Galqas", is a small town located in the autonomous region of Somaliland, specifically within the Togdheer region. The town is situated in an arid or semi-arid environment and is characterized by its pastoral economy, with livestock herding (primarily camels, sheep, and goats) forming the backbone of its inhabitants' livelihoods.

Information regarding the town's infrastructure, population size, and specific administrative details is often limited and may vary depending on the source and the time period of the data. Access to services like education, healthcare, and clean water can be variable and may be reliant on governmental or non-governmental organization initiatives.

Qalqas, like many rural communities in Somaliland, faces challenges related to climate change, including drought and desertification, which impact its pastoral economy and the availability of resources. The community also participates in the broader socio-political landscape of Somaliland.
