Gardafu

Gardafu is a region of Puntland. The region was approved 30th parliamentary session of the Puntland Parliament in 2013.[1] Its capital is Alula[1] and its governor is Musse Salah.[2]

Due to lack of clarity regarding district boundaries, Gardafu has a dispute with Bargaal over control of the small port of Binna.[3]
