Beer, Togdheer

Beer is a village in Burao District, in the Togdheer region of Somaliland, of Somalia.

[1][2] The town of Beer is located 30 kilometres (19 mi) south-east by road from Burao.

The Soviet Union, which at the time maintained strategic relations with the Siad Barre government, airlifted around 90,000 people from the devastated regions of Aynaba and the towns of Beer and Hobyo.

New small settlements, referred to as Danwadaagaha ("Collective Settlements") were then created in Jubbada Hoose (Lower Jubba) and Jubbada Dhexe (Middle Jubba) regions.

The transplanted families were also introduced to farming and fishing techniques, a change from their traditional pastoralist lifestyle of livestock herding.
