El Buh (Somali: Ceelbuh) is a town in the northern Sanaag region of Somalia.
El Buh is located in the El Buh District.
In the late 2000s, the town was a part of the briefly-extant Maakhir state, before being officially incorporated into the autonomous Puntland region in 2009.[1]
Local control is disputed between Puntland, Somaliland, a self-declared independent republic that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia, and HBM-SSC (Hoggaanka Badbaadada iyo Mideynta SSC), a local unionist group whose goal is the creation of its own regional administration (Sool, Sanaag and Cayn or SSC).[2]
