Buuhoodle (Template:Lang-so, Template:Lang-ar), also known as Bohotle, is the small town in Togdheer region of somaliland. It serves as a significant border town for the movement of goods between Somalia and the Somali Region of Ethiopia. The surrounding district is rich in livestock with growing agricultural activities.
Territorial dispute
Main article: Somaliland-Puntland disputeBuuhoodle, the second most important city for the Dhulbahante after Las Anod, is currently under the control of local unionist militia. The 2021 Somaliland parliamentary and municipal elections did not take place in the city due to unrest fueled by nearby region local government of Puntland.
The city is disputed by Puntland and Somaliland. The former bases its claim due to the kinship ties between the Dhulbahante clan and the dominant clan in Puntland, the Majeerteen. Whilst the later's claim is grounded on the border of the former British Somaliland Protectorate. The city was the de facto capital of Khatumo State throughout its existence until its dissolvement in 2017.
A conflict ensued in the vicinity of Buuhoodle between Somaliland and Puntland troops in 2010 and again in 2012. The conflict which became known as the Kalshale conflict was at first a clan skirmish but quickly escalated to involve the two administrations. It was eventually resolved in early 2012, with the official withdrawal of Somaliland troops to a 50 km radius of the city's perimeter.
Currently, Buuhoodle is under the control of terrorist organisations.
