The 2010 Ayn clashes were a series of armed conflicts that saw Ethiopian and Somaliland forces engage local militias in Puntland's Ayn region. On 22 May 2010, the battle was prompted by Ethiopian troops seizing a truck belonging to villagers, sparking a response and Ethiopian retaliatory attack on Buuhoodle[1] and a Somaliland attack upon Widhwidh.[2] More clashes were reported to have occurred near Widhwidh on 19 July 2010.[2]
