Qoryoley

Qoryoley is a town located in the Lower Shabelle region of Somalia. Situated on the Shebelle River, it is one of the older settlements in the area, historically serving as an important agricultural and trading hub.

The economy of Qoryoley is primarily based on agriculture, with farmers cultivating a variety of crops thanks to the fertile land surrounding the Shebelle River. Livestock herding is also a significant part of the local economy. Trade in agricultural products and livestock contributes to the town's economic activity.

Historically, Qoryoley has experienced periods of both stability and conflict. Control of the town has shifted between various clans and political factions, particularly during the Somali Civil War. These conflicts have significantly impacted the town's infrastructure and economy.

The population of Qoryoley, like many areas in Somalia, has fluctuated due to displacement caused by conflict and drought. Accurate population figures are often difficult to obtain due to the ongoing challenges in the region.

Infrastructure in Qoryoley remains limited, with ongoing efforts to improve roads, schools, and healthcare facilities. International aid organizations and local initiatives are working to support development and stability in the town and surrounding areas.
