Although there have been clan conflicts for a long time, they have distanced themselves from both Somaliland and Puntland, and in 2018 they held a peace agreement with the help of Ethiopia after rejecting interference from Somaliland/Puntland governments.[5]
Since then, relations with Somaliland have continued, including visits by key officials of the Somaliland government.[6]
In October 2018, at least 50 people were killed and 100 others injured in a struggle between two clans in Dhummay.[8] Both warring clans are tributaries of Dhulbahante.[9] 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.[10]
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.[5]
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.[11] 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.[12]
In June 2020, Abdiqani Mohamoud Jidhe, governor of Sool of Somaliland, visited Dhummay to witness the groundbreaking ceremony for the well.[6]
