History

Before Somalia Independence

Yake appears in a book published in England in 1951 under the name "Yaka".[4]

After the Somali Civil War

Yake grew rapidly in 1996.[2]

As of 2002, 500 families lived in the area. The water supply was from 33 Berkad, or rainwater reservoirs. During the dry season, water was transported by truck.[2]

In March 2014, President Puntland visited Yake.[5]

In March 2016, a drought occurred in Qardho District, including Yake, and the Al-Minhaj Foundation distributed food and other resources.[6]

In June 2019, five people were in a coma and three were missing due to a combination of cold and rain in Yake.[7]

In September 2021, the Puntland government constructed a well in Yake.[8]
