Administrative Classification

On March 25, 2008, Somaliland President Kahin announced that Oodweyne would be upgraded to a region, becoming independent from Togdheer region. [4] However, it has not received parliamentary approval and is still considered part of the Togdheer region, for example, in the 2019 Somaliland Local Government Law. [5]

However, both the Somaliland government and the Somaliland media often report Oodweyne district as Dadad-madhedh region (Gobolka Daad-madheedh). [6] The governor of this area is still appointed as governor of Dad-madheedh region (Guddoomiyihii Gobolka Daad-madheedh) as of 2024. [7]
