In July 2005, the Somaliland National Electoral Commission inspected the situation in Yagori District and reported that elections could be held in Guumays, Yagori, Tuuolo-Samakaab, and Adhi'adeye.[4]

In July 2011, the Somaliland government reported the completion of a 65-kilometer road connecting Las Anod and Guumays as an achievement of the past three months.[5]

In January 2014, Somaliland Interior Minister Ali Mohamed Warancadde visited Guumays to end inter-clan strife.[6]
