Districts
According to the federal government of Somalia, prior 1991, Sanaag was divided into 5 Districts which are as follows:
- Badhan
- Ceel Afwayn
- Ceerigaabo
- Dhahar
- Laasqoray
According to the Puntland administration, the Sanaag region consists of 10 districts with Badhan being the Capital of the region. The Transitional Federal government also recognizes Puntland as an official state so as its regions and districts. The Districts of Sanaag are:
- Erigavo
- Mindigale
- Habar-shiro
- Hadaaftimo
- Xingalol
- Dhahar
- Laako
- Buraan
- Xabasha Wacle
- Badhan
- Las Khorey
- Kaladhacda
- Ceelbuh
- Mindigale
According to the Somaliland administration, as of July 2002, Sanaag was formally divided into 10 districts, rated "A" through "D" in terms; districts graded "D" were limited, because "their district councils shall not be elected at first local government elections as their borders have not yet been delineated." Thus, under the 2005 elections for the lower house of Parliament, Sanaag was described as only having six districts. Here is the list of districts of Sanaag and their "Grade":
- Erigavo (A)
- El-Afweyn (C)
- Badhan (A)
- Lasqoray (A)

Famous quotes containing the word districts:
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
