Balicad is a town in Buhoodle District of Togdheer region in Somalia.
Presently, the SSC-Khaatumo administration controls Balli Ad.[1]
In August 2015, Khatumo State President Ali Khalif Galaydh moved his base from Sahdheer to Balli Ad after being pursued by Somaliland forces.[2] In September, Khatumo State held a council meeting in Balli Ad, but some of the traditional elders in Sool refused to attend.[3]
In January 2016, Somaliland forces occupied Balli Ad from Khatumo State.[4] The Somaliland government said, "The Somalia government incited violence in this region, which is Somaliland territory. The deployment of troops is to bring peace and stability to the region."[5]
