The story of Cayn, a region in northern Somalia, is like a tangled knot, woven with claims, clashes, and clan complexities. Imagine two teams, Puntland and SSC-Khatumo, both wanting the same prize: Cayn. But hold on, another player, Somaliland, claims it too! What a mess!

Here’s where things get interesting. Cayn used to be called Aynaba, home to the Dhulbahante clan. Back in the day, the British, wanting to settle a local rebellion, sided with the Habr Je’lo clan, sparking a conflict that continues to echo today.

Now, fast forward to the 2000s. Puntland declares Cayn its own, but wait, Somaliland says “no way, it’s mine!” Meanwhile, SSC-Khatumo, a new team on the scene, declares independence from Somaliland and claims Caayn as part of their territory. Talk about a game of tug-of-war!

But amidst these claims and counter-claims, what about the people of Cayn? Well, many are nomadic herders, simply trying to live their lives. Sadly, the ongoing dispute sometimes disrupts their peace.

So, what’s the future of Cayn? No one knows for sure. Maybe a peaceful agreement will be reached, or maybe the knot will get even tighter. One thing’s for certain, Cayn’s story is far from over, and it’s a story worth watching, with the hope that peace and understanding will one day prevail.
