This is where prophet Musa Fled to when he escaped from the pharoahs. There is another place near Maduna where supposed that Allah spoke from Musa when he was traveling back to Eghpty with his wife, the daughter of Shuaib named as Dallo and this place is called The Gal-dobcad that means the valley of the bright fire.

This country of Somalia is the mother of the world and the cradle of mankind.
