Goob Weyn (Somali: Goobweyn) is a village in the southern Lower Juba region of Somalia.
Geography[edit]
Goobweyn is situated on the banks of the Jubba River, and is only 3 meters above sea level. The village is situated next to Kismayo National Park, and is situated only 15 kilometers outside of Kismayo.
Exports and livelihood[edit]
A primarily agricultural based town based on the Jubba Basin, residents of Goobweyn primarily depend on agricultural exports to the nearby city of Kismayo, like tomatoes, onions, and coconuts.[1]
In 1974, the area saw an influx of refugees following The Lingering Drought (Somali: Abaartii Dabadheer) in northern Somalia. Northern families were introduced to ways of fishing and farming compared to pastoralist livestock herding.
