The South-West State of Somalia (Somali: Dawlad Goboleedka Koonfur Galbeed ee Soomaaliya, Af-May: Koofur Orsy), is a Federal Member State in southwestern Somalia. It was founded by Hasan Muhammad Nur Shatigadud, leader of the Somalia RRA on 1 April 2002.[1][2] It was the third autonomous region to be established.
After its dissolution in 2005, the territory was re-established in November 2009 as an official federal member state of Somalia. Abdiaziz Laftagareen was selected the president of this state. The official capital of South-West state is Barawa, located on the coast of the Somali Sea, though the state administration is currently based in Baidoa.[3]
