Bo'ame (Somali: Boocame) is an ancient town in the eastern Sool region.[2] It is the capital of Bo'ame district which includes the small towns of Karin-gorfood, Fardhidin, Dan-Gudban, Caleeli, Buura-wadal and Garaca Dacare and Biriqodayaga.[3]

Until May 2022, Puntland has had effective control, then Somaliland took over there.[4] There was a conflict between Puntland and Somaliland in Bo'ame district in August 2022.[5] In early January 2023, the Dhulbahante clan declared Sool and Sanaag regions, including Bo'ame, as SSC-Khatumo state, it belongs to the Federal Republic of Somalia, and requested the Somaliland military to withdraw from the area.[6]

Bo'ame is a commercial center for the largely agricultural district[citation needed]. Bo'ame has a business relationship with many cities, such as Garowe, the administrative capital of Puntland, Laascaanood, Bosaso and Gaalkacyo, the capital of Mudug region.
