@The Midlands I am not sure where u got the idea garowe was selected becuz of bari/mudug conflict. Nugaal was selected for the following reason.
1. Security. Every region sanaag-sool-bari-mudug all have 'access' to it to save the capital.
2. Bari was not selected due to hot weather
3. Mudug wasn't selected due to it's proximity to the worst moryan in Somali history.
4. Nugaal Isim was the most 'respected' even higher then Boqor was another factor.
It was mainly about security and weather why garowe was selected not this bari/mudug 'mythical' conflict in your head.
