Armale (so|Carmaale) is a town in Sanaag region of Somaliland[2]
In July 2007, the district became part of the Maakhir province of Somaliland, which was later incorporated into the autonomous Puntland region in January 2009.[3] Then dissolved later on.
The town is located in the Hadeed Plateau, a tract of land that covers the middle section of a large area of the Sool Plateau. With the exception of the Riafonleh mountain, this plateau is largely flat.[4]
