Tog Wajaale

Tog Wajaale

Tog Wajaale (also known as Wajaale) is a major hub city situated on the border between Ethiopia and northwestern Somalia. It is now the busiest city that links between the two countries. All imports destined to Ethiopia from the major port of Berbera go through this strategic border city, with a twin Ethiopian [sister [city] on the other side of the bordered (also called Wajaale).

The custom offices located here collect the tax revenue for the national government through the central bank of the district in Gabiley, which is now becoming the largest source of revenue for the regional Somaliland government of Somalia.

Because of its importance, the Ethiopian and Somaliland governments recently took on a partnership project which saw the maintenance work of the route that links between Kalabaydh and Jijiga.

As a result of booming businesses in Wajaale, the cost of plots of land is becoming one of the hot spots of northwestern Somalia.
