Sahdheer (Somali: Saaxdheer) is a town in southern Sool region of Somalia.[3]
Saaxdheer is on the border with Ethiopia. The town lies in the Sahader Valley, due south of Las Anod. Sahdheer lies a few miles northwest of Gumburka Cagaare,[4] the site of the greatest Darwiish victory over a joint Abyssinian-British force. The British force consisted of men from nine different regions of the world:
Within the encampment there was a strange medley of men drawn from many different corners of the Empire: From the British Isles, from South Africa, from Frontier of India, from Kenya, from the Nile, from the uplands of Central Africa, Boers and Sikhs and Sudanese: Their race had battled against the Empire not so many years before, but had since found contentment and prosperity under British rule.[5]
In August 2014, Somaliland troops marched into Sahdheer engaged pro-Khatumo State militias in battles that killed at least 10 people. [6] United States Special Representative for Somalia James P. McAnulty and others jointly expressed concern over the deployment of troops to Sahdheer.[7]
In June 2015, the President of Khatumo State, Ali Khalif Galaydh, moved his address from Buuhoodle to Sahdheer.[8] Still, in August, he moved his address to Balli Ad in Togdheer due to the approach of the Somaliland army on the outskirts of the town and protests from residents.[9]
Fighting between local clans in Dhummay, Sool, October 2018.[10] Dhummay elders blamed the Somaliland government for allowing the militia the opportunity to attack because the Somaliland army in Dhummay was moved to Sahdheer.[11]
In August 2020, a mediation meeting was held in Sahdheer due to fighting between Dhulbahante clans (Ararsame and Hayaag) in Horufadhi.[12]
In May 2021, Jaamac Faarax Xasan, Minister of Health for Puntland, visits Sahdheer. Welcomed by clan chief, Garad Jama Garad Ali.[13]
In January 2022, Somaliland's Ministry of Water Resources Development revived a well in the Sahdheer region.[14]
The town's main inhabitants are Dhulbahante branch of the Darod,[15] with the Bahararsame sub-clan of the Farah Garad branch well represented.[16]
