El Wak District (Somali: Degmada Ceel Waaq) is a district in the southwestern Gedo region of Somalia. Its capital is El Wak.
The district has suffered from Marehan-Garre tensions over political control, driven by competition over El Wak town.[1] Even between guri (indigenous) Marehan factions there were tensions in mid-2012 over apportionment of parliamentary seats.[2]
In 2012, the following political and military discord was underway in the district:[2]
- Ongoing conflict between the Somali National Army and Kenya Army/AMISOM against Al Shabaab
- Resource conflict between the Garre and the Marehan's Ali Dhere
- Conflict over land between the Urmidig and the Reer Yusuf (Marehan), although peace efforts were underway
- Disagreements over the distribution of relief aid, between the community, non-governmental organisations, and the former-Transitional Federal Government local administration. Resolution efforts were underway but had not been successful.
