Buuhoodle is a major town in the Federal Republic of Somalia, located in the disputed border region between Somaliland and the autonomous region of Puntland. It is in the Togdheer region of northern Somalia, near the Ethiopian border, and is an important settlement center and trading hub for the Darwod clan.
Buhodle is situated in an arid semi-desert area with a hot and dry climate and a predominantly nomadic economy. Most of the inhabitants are offshoots of the Somali Darwad clan, with a high degree of population mobility and a traditional tribal structure dominating social governance. Town infrastructure is relatively weak and water scarcity is a chronic challenge.
As a border trade hub, Buhodle's economy relies on livestock (camel, goat) trade and cross-border commercial activities. The town is connected to the border towns of Ras Anod in Somaliland and Ethiopia by dirt roads, but lacks a modern transportation network such as tarmac roads.
Located in the territorially disputed zone between Somaliland and Puntland, Buhodlein's political affiliation is contested and often leads to local conflict. It is not fully under the effective authority of the Federal Government of Somalia, and clan elders play a key role in mediating disputes.
