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]
