In June 2014, the Puntland government launched a new tree-planting campaign in the state, with the regional Ministry of Environment, Wildlife and Tourism slated to plant 25,000 trees by the end of the year.

Buuhoodle is among the 5 cities and towns earmarked for the reforestation initiative, which also include Garowe, Bosaso, Qardho, and Galkayo.

The campaign is part of a broader partnership between the Puntland authorities and EU to set up various environmental protection measures in the region, with the aim of promoting reforestation and afforestation.

This could be safely done, as the eastern Ishak tribes are friendly and united.Eric Swayne stated that the people of Buuhoodle had "always proved to be the backbone" of adherence to Dervishnimo.

[16] He had attempted to combine the Ogaden against Mersin for them, but these tribes having been badly treated by him, would not now help, and Dolbahanta on the punishment of one of their outlying sections by the Abyssinians, the Mullah found himself compelled to retire eastward to Bohotle with the Dolbahanta tribes, his own kinsmen, who have always proved to be the backbone of his following.In 1904, a disease similar to smallpox was reported in an African unit of the British Army near Buuhoodle.

Byatt also raised concerns for the Dhulbahante refugees en route to British controlled territory and the possibility of them being looted by hostile clans, particularly the Habr Yunis.

[19]British colonial administrator Sir Douglas Jardine describing the plight of the Dhulbahante writes : The most pitiful lot of all fell to certain sections of the Dolbahanta.

Ousted from their ancestral grazing grounds by the Mullah's advance and bereft of all their stock, the remnants wandered like veritable Ishmaelites in the Ishaak country, deprived of Asylum and almost all access to the coast.

[21][22] The British retreat to coastal outposts left the interior country in a state of power vacuum that heralded a period acute distress, scarcity and violence that came to be known locally as Xaaraame Cune "time of eating filth".

[23] According to 1937 records, the soil around Buhoodle is gray red sand with rocky patches, but many grasses, mostly Dalemo (Andropogon aucherii), grow in the area, which is a large meadow interspersed with dense bushes.

[26] In October 2001, the Puntland government claimed Sool, Eastern Sanaag, Bari, Northern Mudug, Nugal and the district of Buuhoodle as its territory.

[28] In August 2002, the Somaliland Armed Forces established a military division and a new commander in the combined area of Sool and Buhoodle districts.

[30] In October 2007, fighting broke out between Somaliland and Puntland forces in Ras Anod and many residents fled in the direction of Garoowe, Buuhoodle, Kalabaydh and Hawdka.

[40] In February 2014, Somaliland forces occupied the villages of Kalabaydh, Karindabaylweyn, Xamar lagu xidh, and others, preventing Puntland Vice President Abdihakim Abdullahi Haji Omar from visiting his native Buhoodle.

[43] In September 2015, the Puntland Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization, began vaccinating 100,000 goats in the Buhoodle district and neighboring areas.

The next day, The Minister of public works and Housing of Somaliland, Abdirashid Haji Duale, called on residents to non-cooperate with the SSC, saying the Buuhoodle rebels are an attempt by the group to profit from the war.

[62] It serves as a commercial hub for the movement of goods to and from Bosaso, Garowe, Las Anod, Galkayo, Wardheer, Burao, the surrounding area, and the Ogaden.

[64] Buuhoodle is primarily inhabited by people from the Somali ethnic group, with the clan eponyms of Ararsame and Bah Ali Gheri[65] of Dhulbahante especially well-represented.
