↑ The district status of Baligubadle is legally enshrined in Art. 10.1) of the (Somaliland) Regions and Districts Self-management Law, No. 23/2019. See also here. This law does not describe the geographical boundaries of the district. This law also does not mention "Hawd" as a region in Somaliland, and the earlier presidential decree creating "Hawd" has thus not been confirmed by law and must be considered as invalid.
