Dhummay is a town in the Sool region of Somaliland.[2] It is 35 miles south of Las Anod, the regional capital of Sool.[3] The town is inhabited by the Dhulbahante clan. In 2017, it was the centre of raging conflict between two sub-clans whom both inhabit the city.[4]

Relation map

In October 2018, at least 50 people were killed and 100 others injured in a struggle between two clans in Dhummay.[5] Both warring clans are tributaries of Dhulbahante.[6] The Somali federal government sent a plane carrying medical supplies for those injured in the conflict, but the Somaliland government refused to allow the plane to land at the airport.[7] In November, 300 people from the two clans involved in the Dhummay conflict gathered in Jijiga, Ethiopia, for a peace conference organized by Mustafa Mohammed Omar, governor of Somali Region, Ethiopia. Meanwhile, a Somaliland delegation also attempted to intervene in the conflict, but was rejected by the parties. The Puntland government was also rejected.[8] The Somaliland government admitted that the initiative to resolve the Dhummay dispute has been transferred to Ethiopia and that the Somaliland government is not involved.[9] Also in November, the Boqor of the Majeerteen clan, Burhaan, visited Dhummay and discussed the surrounding conflict with local intellectuals. He welcomed the meeting in Jijiga.[10]
