In mid-1992, an Islamist militant group Al-Itihaad al-Islamiya (AIAI) moved into the Sanaag region, and the Warsangali and dishiishe clan held a meeting in Hadaftimo and resolved to unify Somalia and prevent the AIAI from entering.

According to a report in 1993, Hadaftimo had a population of 4,000 and only one source of drinking water.
