Short description of Baidoa
Baidoa is the seat of South West State and the market town of the fertile country between the rivers that once fed much of the south. It carries one of the largest displaced populations in the country and is ringed by countryside that the government does not hold. Flights come in from the capital and the town itself functions, but the roads out do not, and the one local outfit that sells a short city tour is the whole of the market. It is here because it is one of Somalia's major cities, not because it can be visited in any ordinary sense.
