History
A couple of kilometers southwest of Gambadhe is the currently abandoned locality of Dari ali which is a Daraawiish heritage site. This site previously hosted a fort called Daryare which was used as an escape route and to safeguard against the three racist colonial adversaries of the Darawiish, namely Britain, Abyssinia and Italy. Although currently a ruin, it was previously located between the ring of Darawiish forts at Taleex and the Darawiish fort at Las Anod.[4] In 2019, there were fatal clashes between competing administrations in the town.[3]
