Dhobley, formerly known as Liboi-Somalia, is a strategic border town located in south-western Somalia's Lower Juba Region. It is located immediately along the Kenya border. Having been settled only in the 1970s, its strategic location along the border has since made it the second largest city in the Lower Juba region after Kismayo, the regional capital. It is located about 15 kilometers northeast of the Kenyan city of Liboi, a town of about 11,000 people.
