In 1997, the Baharsame clan in Qoriley and the Omar Mohamoud clan in Magaley were at odds over the construction of a concrete reservoir on suitable grazing land between the two towns, which led to a peace conference led by the Somali Salvation Democratic Front (later the Puntland government).

Somaliland, Puntland, and Khatumo, who all declare territorial rights to the land, claimed that the fighting was not their fault.

The cease-fire was effected through the armed intervention of the governments of those countries, local elders, and the Ethiopian police.

[11] In January 2018, the Somaliland Minister of Information announced that Somali federal government forces had attacked Qoriley and Tukaraq.

In October 2019, the Somaliland government will build a health center in Qoriley, and the governor of Sool state and the mayor of Las Anod attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
