History

Awdalland (also spelled Adal or Adel) takes its name from a medieval empire, the Adal Sultanate, whose power rose in the 16th century. The area along the Ethiopian border is abundant with ruined cities, which were described by the British explorer Richard F. Burton.^[1]

A modern separatist movement, known as the Awdalland Republic,^[2] sought independence in 1995 after the ouster of Mohamed Siad Barre's regime.

In 2010, the formation of a new autonomous region within a federal Somalia was officially declared. Referred to as Awdalland or the Adal State, the local administration does not recognize the secessionist Somaliland government's claim to sovereignty or to its territory.^[3]^[4]

Demographics

The Awdal region of Awdalland is primarily inhabited by Somalis from the Gadabuursi and Issa clans.^[5]^[6]
