Tukaraq is a small village in the eastern Sool region of Somaliland. The town is located on the road between Las Anod and Garowe in Las Anod District.

Overview

Main article: Battle of Tukaraq

On 15 May 2018 intense increase in military activity occurred between rival Puntland and Somaliland armed forces in the surrounding area of Tukaraq. Both Somaliland and Puntland have accused the other of initiating the violence.

On 24 May 2018 both rival groups between Somaliland and Puntland both participating in an ongoing conflict in the Sool region released press statements claiming that the opposing side launched a predawn offensive around 05:30 AM local time.

Somaliland captured Tukaraq from Puntland State forces that fled to Ethiopia.

Demographics

The town's main inhabitants are Dhulbahante branch of the Darod, with the gaashaanbuur subclan of Golaweyne especially well represented.

Notes

  1. A gaashaanbuur refers to a political alliance rather than a patrilineal alliance
