International border From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ethiopia–Somaliland border is almost as long as the one Ethiopia shares with the rest of Somalia, and Somaliland offers a buffer to Ethiopia against Al-Shabaab attack.[3] Villages like Aleybedey are remote that lies to the border, and have semi-arid with a short rainy season, receiving about 650 millimeters of rain per year.[4] Like Somalia, this border enjoyed vibrant economic interactions conducted by ethnically homogeneous Somalis.[5]

The 2010 Cayn clashes saw Somaliland forces viciously attack the Dulbahante clan militia in the Buuhoodle district.[6] The battle was prompted by Ethiopian troops seizing a truck belonging to locals in Buhoodle, sparking a response from residents and Ethiopian retaliatory attack on Buuhoodle[7] and a Somaliland attack upon Widhwidh. More clashes were reported to have occurred near Widhwidh on 19 July 2010.[8]
