Somaliland and Puntland both recognize the area around Buuhoodle as a seperate region from Sool or Toghdeer, though they both call it different things (Cayn for Puntland, Buhod for Somaliland).

Even before the reform of the regions last year though, Buuhoodle was never part of Sool, it was always part of Toghdeer.

It says something about Somaliland's claims to Buuhoodle that their district administration for Buuhoodle is in Lascanood.

Still, if Somaliland manages to pull off inclusive elections in Lascanood, that would be a major coup for them.
