Khatumo State (Somali: Khaatumo), (Arabic: ولاية خاتمة) officially the Khatumo State of Somalia or Khaatumo State of Somalia[1] (Somali: Maamul Goboleedka Khaatumo ee Soomaaliya), is a region in northern Somalia. Centered on the Sool, Sanaag and Cayn or SSC provinces, its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 2012.[2]

Overview [edit]
Local control of the Sool, Sanaag and Cayn (SSC) regions has been disputed between the autonomous Puntland region in northeastern Somalia; Somaliland, a self-declared republic that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia; and local unionist authorities.[3]
In 2012, the Khatumo State administration was finalized after a series of conferences beginning in 2007 between prominent political figures, traditional leaders and local residents.[2]
Khatumo State's capital lies at Taleh, the headquarters of the former Dervish State of Mohammed Abdullah Hassan.[2]
Demographics [edit]
Virtually all local residents belong to the Somali ethnic group, with the Dhulbahante sub-clan of the Harti Darod especially well represented.[2]
