2010 Ayn clashes
The 2010 Ayn clashes saw Somaliland forces engage Dulbahante clan militia in the Buuhoodle district.[1] The battle was prompted by Ethiopian troops seizing a truck belonging to locals in Buuhoodle, sparking a response from residents and Ethiopian retaliatory attack on Buuhoodle[2] and a Somaliland attack upon Widhwidh. More clashes were reported to have occurred near Widhwidh on 19 July 2010.[3]
