Qombo'ul lies approximately 40 km east of
Badhan, on the road to
Bosaso and west of the town of
Mindigale. An old settlement that is ancient, it is the site of quite a few ancient ruins, buildings and structures, many of obscure origins. Eastern
Somaliland in general is home to numerous such
archaeological sites, with similar edifices found at
Haylan,
Qa’ableh,
Maydh,
Gelweita and
El Ayo. However, many of these old structures have yet to be properly explored, a process which would help shed further light on local history and facilitate their preservation for posterity. ==See also==
