The Northland State of Somalia was a self-proclaimed autonomous state in the disputed Sool, Sanaag and Cayn regions,[2] established in May 2008, but unrecognized by the Transitional Federal Government,[3] and dissolved in 2009.

The autonomous state was set up in the buffer zone between Puntland and Somaliland by Dhulbahante leaders. Its presumed capital was Las Anod. [2]

For example, between Puntland and Somaliland there exists a buffer zone, formed by the disputed territories of Sool Sanaag and Cayn, where a large set of states have alternatively emerged and disappeared. In 2008, the leaders of the clan Dulbahante announced the formation of an autonomous state, the Northland State of Somalia. But during the dispute with Puntland, Somaliland extended its control on the presumed capital, Las Anod, and the Northland state ceased to exist.
