Marodi Jeh (Somali: Maroodi Jeex, Arabic: مرودي جيح), formerly known as Woqooyi Galbeed (lit. North West) is an administrative region (gobol) in western Somaliland. It is the most populous region of the country. It is bordered by Awdal to the west, Sahil to the north, Togdheer to the east and Ethiopia to the south. Marodi Jeh was created by splitting the previously existing region (gobolka).
