During 1990's In Northern Gedo
The population in Buuloxaawo swelled 200 000. This was in early 1990s when the SNF military wing ruled Gedo region. The group ran into conflict with then well financed Al-Itahad Al-Islamia led by Dahir Aweys. The Islamic function's rule in Lugh District spilled over to Ethiopia and it soon began to threaten Ethiopia. By later 1998, the Ethiopian army rooted out Al-Itahad from Gedo region. SNF function led by Omar Haji, an army general and former minister, gave up control of Gedo region to no one, and hence a power vacuum developed. The Ethiopian army re-occupied Gedo northern districts of Lugh, Dolow and Beled Hawo.

Commerce in Gedo Bardera (Baardheere) has become urbunized to the extent that its population multiplied 400% since the breakdown of law and order in the capital city of the country, Mogadishu. Aside from the urban population in proper Bardere city, the rest of the region's population are pastoralists with the exception of people living in the cities where the region's seven district seats are located. Those who live on the fringes of district seats or outside of large cities such as Garbahaarreey, Baardheere, Luuq and Buuloxaawo, generally keep either a farm on the river banks or herds of sheep, camel or cattle.
