Hingalol or Hingalool (Somali: Xingalool) is a district located in the Sanaag region of Puntland.[3]
Overview[edit]
Hingalol is situated on the Hadeed Plateau of the Sanaag region.[4] Hingalol was established in 1958.[5] A small hamlet, it increased in size and population in the wake of the Somali Civil War and became a full district. In November 2017, Puntland built a military base on the outskirt of the city.[1] In October 2020, Puntland Minister of Education and Minister of Agriculture visited Hingalol to assess needs and support schools and other institutions in the district.[6]
While growing at a faster pace, basic services and government assistance are lacking. In September 2021, the local hospital reported serious cases of COVID-19 in the Hingalol area. For the first time, the Federal Government in Mogadishu delivered essential medical supplies and equipments.[7]
Education[edit]
Hingalol has several academic institutions. According to the Puntland Ministry of Education, there are 11 primary schools in the Hingalol District. Among these are Mindhicir, Shibiraale, Carmale and Darul Qur'aan.[8] Secondary schools in the area include the Hingalol Secondary School. In addition, the new Hingalol Public Library provides a wide range of information and needed library services to users of all ages and abilities, and, in so doing, it remains a significant community asset. It also offers online courses[9]
