 It served as the headquarters of the pre-independence Dervish State.

The War in Somalia was an armed conflict involving largely Ethiopian and Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) forces and Somali troops from Puntland versus the Somali Islamist umbrella group, the Islamic Court Union (ICU), and other affiliated militias for control of the country.
 There is a clear connection between War in Somalia (2009–) and the War of 2006.
 The war officially began shortly before July 20, 2006 when U.S. backed Ethiopian troops invaded Somalia to prop up the TFG in Baidoa.
 The TFG in Somalia invited Ethiopians to intervene, which became an "unpopular decision".
 Subsequently, the leader of the ICU, Sheik Hassan Dahir Aweys, declared "Somalia is in a state of war, and all Somalis should take part in this struggle against Ethiopia".
 On December 24, Ethiopia stated it would actively combat the ICU.

Sheikh Bashir Yussuf (Somali: "Sheekh Bashiir Yuusuf" , Arabic: الشيخ يوسف بشير‎ ‎ , born c. 1905 in Taleh, northern Somalia) was a Somali religious leader.

 Its capital lies at Taleh, the former headquarters of the Somali religious and nationalist leader Mohammed Abdullah Hassan (the "Mad Mullah") and his Dervish State.

 The date celebrates the union of the Trust Territory of Somaliland (the former Italian Somaliland) and the State of Somaliland (the former British Somaliland) on July 1, 1960, which formed the Somali Republic (Somalia).
