Yagori (Somali: Yagoori, Yaguri) is a town in the eastern Sool Region of Somaliland.[2]

In January 1991, a peace conference was held in Yagori under the leadership of the Somali National Movement (later the government of Somaliland), and Habr Je'lo, Habar Yoonis, and Dhulbahante clans participated.[3]

In July 2002, the Somaliland army deployed 450 troops in Yagori. The governor of Puntland's Sool region, who was in Las Anod at the time, condemned the move, saying it would split the Harti clan.[4]

In August 2016, President Silanyo visited Yagori.[5]

The adjacent Afbakayle locals were raided by Eric Swayne and these were said to be Jama Siad livestock in 1901:[6]

Hearings from prisoners that some encampments of the Jama Siad section of the Mahmud Gerad tribe were some 50 miles off, near Mayo, on the left of the line of advance to Yahelli, Swayne seized the opportunity and sent off the mounted corps under Major Beynon to surprise them ... at Samala on arrival at May 30th, when news was brought in that the mounted corps had succeeded in surprising the Jama Siad sections of the Mahmud Gerad and capturing some stock

Yagori was during the colonial era a part of Nogal District, described by John Hunt as an "entirely Dolbahanta" district.[9]

This was supposed to have been done for administrative convenience, but the somewhat crooked boundary between the Burao and Nogal districts suggests that it was intended to make the Las Anod-Nogal District an entirely Dolbahanta Tribal District ...
