This was created quite a bit later than the other Somali towns we've been discussing, and there are some issues here. The article name itself can be looked up in geonames, and it is a locality which is once again a blank spot on the map. The text of the article, however, claims another name, which geonames does not recognize; moreover, a link to getamap is given, but the coordinates it provides are not even vaguely close to those from geonames (it's almost three degrees further west, for one thing), and it's not apparent that there's anything at that location either. I'm going to have to call this one "unverifiable". Mangoe (talk) 00:42, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the map doesn't appear to be entirely blank, there's something here very close to the claimed location which looks like it might be a collection of shacks, but Geonames has proven itself to be very unreliable with regard to Somali towns and I think we need another source.
