God Caanood (Somali: Godcanood) is a town in the Sanaag region of Somaliland. God Caanood (pronounced as God Anood in English) has a ruined old town, according to a scholarly article published by Sada Mire in 2015.[2]
It lies approximately 70 kilometers south of Erigavo. The village is known for its historical significance and its inhabitants are Muse Tuurwaa, who primarily belong to the Muuse Ismaaciil sub-clan of Habar Yoonis and the Mohamud Hamud sub-clan of Habar Yoonis and Magadle clan from Dir tribe.
In terms of livelihood, God Caanood is renowned for its livestock rearing. Interestingly, it holds the distinction of having the highest number of sheep in Somalia, as recorded in the 1970s. Additionally, the village has a strong agricultural tradition.
God Caanood has a rich history, dating back to its establishment in 1950.
It is the very place where Muse Turwaa received treatments, and where their traditional constitution was documented.
