When the Shabelle River, the main river in Somalia, flows to the suburb of Mogadishu about 30 kilometers away from the Indian Ocean coast, it turns sharply to the southwest, continues to spread for 320 kilometers parallel to the coastline, and then flows into the sea from the swamp area in the north of the Juba estuary.
