Nugal (Somali: Nugaal, Arabic: نوغال‎‎) is an administrative region (gobol) in northeastern Somalia.[1]

Overview

It is bordered by Ethiopia and the Somali regions of Sool to the west, Bari to the north, and Mudug to the south. The Indian Ocean flanks the province to the east.

Nugal is centered on Garowe, the capital of the autonomous Puntland macro-region.
