Sool is a region (gobolka) in northern Somalia. Its capital is Laascaanood. It is bordered by Ethiopia and the Somalian regions of Togdheer, Sanaag, Bari and Nugaal. Sool is one of the five regions of the self-proclaimed but internationally unrecognized Republic of Somaliland (former British Somaliland).
Along with Sanaag, Sool has been a bone of contention between Somaliland and fellow unrecognized republic Puntland.
