Badweyn also spelt Badwein[1] is a town in the Aynabo District, in the Sool region of Somaliland.

[4] The town is home to a substantial mosque and a multiple-trunked tree that stands alongside the main road.

The clan boundary between the Habr Je'lo and the Dhulbahante during the 19th century was traditionally in Laba Garday, a pass in the Buurdhaab mountain chain situated between War Idaad and Wadamago.

[6] The Habr Je'lo took advantage of the Dhulbahante's weakness after the defeat of the Dervish movement to conquer much of their important wells and grazing grounds.

[7][8] The Habr Je'lo subsequently expanded into and beyond the Saraar plain and the Ain Valley (which includes Badwein[1]), pushing the Dhulbahante southwards towards the Haud:[9] Thus under pressure from the Habar Tol Ja'lo expanding to their north, the Dulbahante claim that formerly their north-western boundary was the Sarar Plain now grazed mainly by Habar Tol Ja'lo.
