'''Bo'ame''' () is an ancient town in the eastern Sool region. It is the capital of Bo'ame district which includes the small towns of Karin-gorfood, Fardhidin, Dan-Gudban, Caleeli, Buura-wadal and Garaca Dacare and Biriqodayaga.
Until May 2022, Puntland had effective control, then Somaliland forces entered and took over the area. There was a conflict between Puntland and Somaliland in Bo'ame district in August 2022. In early January 2023, the Dhulbahante clan declared Sool and Sanaag regions, including Bo'ame, as SSC-Khatumo state, aligned with Somalia, and requested the Somaliland military to withdraw from the area.
