Boqor Osman has consistently worked for peace in Somaliland and among the Somali communities in general. In 1996, he was one of the principal leaders who successfully mediated a peace among the communities of Sanag. That peace has helped stabilize the region. During 2002 -2003, he led successful mediations between rival wings of Puntland administration, after militia of one of the sides sought safety in his ancestral homeland.
