Shebelle River

Rivers

A river rising in the Ethiopian highlands and flowing southeast through Somalia, where it approaches the coast but historically dissipates into seasonal marshes rather than reaching the Indian Ocean directly. Its waters are a critical, and periodically contested, resource for agriculture along its course.
