The Fall of Gooja'ade (also written Goojacade, Gooja'adde or Goojaadde) was a major military engagement on 25 August 2023 during the 2023 Las Anod conflict. It involved forces of the self-declared Somaliland and the pro-unity SSC-Khatumo movement, fighting for control of the Gooja'ade (Gooja’adde) military base near Las Anod in the Sool region. SSC forces claimed to have overrun the base and seized equipment, a development widely reported as a significant setback for Somaliland.
