Af Urur is a town in the Puntland state of Somalia, located on the Golis Mountains, somewhat far from Bosaso, but its exact location is not known.[1] The settlement is placed at a strategically important location, and has thus become strongly contested during the Somali Civil War.[2] One of the most prominent clans in the village are the Tiinle.[3]
