Tuulo Barwaqo, the picture with the Palm trees on the river, is near Garbaharey (Gedo). Considering all of Gedo's development happened post civil war, this is one of the new cities that are springing up. My only surviving aunt from my Pops side lives there now, and Inshallah I'll visit next summer after her house is completed. She wants to live there for the rest of her life. This place is so fertile and lucsh, that you could literily dig a foot or two at any given spot and water will start gushing out!
The pictures of the camels, sheep and open plains was Balanbale a city settled by Marehan mostly, but in a region (Galgudud/Mudug) where you pretty much have so many clans bunched together. However Marehan slowly started moving away from central Somalia since 1969 and I don't know how much are left in those areas.
