Buhoodle (Template:Lang-so, Template:Lang-ar), also known as Bohotle, is the capital of the northern Ayn region in Somalia. It is a prominent border town for movements of goods to and from Somaliland, Puntland and the Somali region of Ethiopia. The surrounding district is rich in both livestock and fledgeling agriculture. It has primary schools, secondary schools and universities. Buhoodle is a medium-sized city that has clinics, hospitals, electricity and all the amenities required of a city. It is notable for being the birthplace of the father of the Somali nation, Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, (Mad Mullah).The city is currently controlled by Khaatumo state. However, the autonomous administrations of Somaliland and Puntland both claim Buuhoodle.
Overview
Main article: Dervish StateBuuhoodle is a historical city. It is where Mohammed Abdullah Hassan's Dervish nationalist and anti-colonial movement began
Buuhodle is the capital city of the newly created region of Ayn. The region consists of the now former Buhoodle District, which was previously part of the Togdheer region. The Ayn region includes other districts such as Widhwidh, Ceegaag, Horufadhi, Sool Joogto, Megagle and Qoorlugud.
Buhoodle is located on the border between Somalia and Ethiopia. It serves as a commercial hub for the movement of goods to and from Bosaso, Garowe, Las Anod, Galkayo, Wardheer, Burao, the surrounding area, and the Ogaden. The city is rich in livestock as well as agriculture, and has grown considerably since 1993. Today, Buuhoodle has modern communication systems such as cell phones, land-line phones, and internet services. It also has modern hotels, as well as a new hospital constructed in 2008. Additionally, a water supply network was built in 2010 by young local residents.
Buhoodle and its environs are disputed by the Puntland and Somaliland autonomous macro-regions of Somalia. Buhodle is a part of both Puntland and Somaliland administrations. Somaliland troops entered the city in May 2010 but failed to gain support from the local civilians in the town. The local Buuhodle civilians expressed support for Puntland state due to close clan kinship. A brutal conflict left at least 100 dead on 190 wounded. Conflicts later flared up again the following year, but were eventually resolved in early 2012, with the official withdrawal of Somaliland troops to a 50 km radius of the city's perimeter.
In June 2014, the Puntland government launched a new tree-planting campaign in the state, with the regional Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism slated to plant 25,000 trees by the end of the year. Buuhoodle is among the 5 cities and towns earmarked for the reforestation initiative, which also include Garowe, Bosaso, Qardho, and Galkayo. The campaign is part of a broader partnership between the Puntland authorities and EU to set up various environmental protection measures in the region, with the aim of promoting reforestation and afforestation.
