Recent History

In November 2005, the Sanaag region was reported to be experiencing water shortages, and Damala Hagare was one of the worst affected areas.[2]

In March 2013, a peace conference between the Warsangali and Dhulbahante clans was held in Damara Hagare.[3]

In September 2014, Somaliland's Defense Minister attempted to attend a meeting of the Warsangali clans in Hingalol, but was unable to do so and was stranded in Damara Hagale.[4]

In May 2019, Somaliland and Puntland troops clashed in Damala Hagare.[5] The total number of dead on both sides is estimated at nine.[6] In June, the Somaliland army deployed troops, including armored vehicles, to Yubbe, Hadaftimo, and Damala Hagare for border security from Puntland.[7]

In September 2019, the local community of Damala Hagare passed a resolution against charcoal production, which causes environmental damage.[8]
