Yubbe

Yubbe (also known as Yobe, Yube, Yubeh and Yubbe Tug) is a town in the Sanaag region in Somali. Both Puntland and Somaliland claim sovereignty over the area. In January 2023, it has been reported that Somaliland forces withdrew from the town. And according to reports in August 2025, the Puntland government has incorporated the Yube clan militia into its own forces as part of Operation Cal Madow.

==History== ===Archaeology=== A desert town mostly inhabited by nomads, Yubbe is home to numerous old archaeological structures. While visiting the locality in the 19th century, the British explorer John Hanning Speke described having seen various tumuli. Of these, he reported that one contained "a hollow compartment propped up by beams of timber, at the bottom of which, buried in the ground, were several earthenware pots, some leaden coins, a ring of gold such as the Indian Mussulman women wear in their noses, and various other miscellaneous property."
