Talk:Erigavo

The city can't be at both 1800 metres and the foot of a 2760 foot mountain, that makes no sense....

The town of Erigavo definitely does not have a population of 100,000. The region of Sanaag could have a population of 100,000

Agree. 100,000 was a population figure for the region, used by the Syad Barre government in the 1980s. The population of Erigavo in that decade was variously estimated at between 5,000 and 10,000. it should be remembered that Sanaag is a very dry region with only a few areas where there is any agriculture (in a few tugs coming out of the main range along the top of the escarpment. There is not a single tarmac road in the whole region.

P.s erigavo is one the oldest citys in somali. erigavo has maintain a high influx of refuges from southern somalia and alot of farmers have move from the country-side, erigavo has growed 3 times the size of the barre government. seening a lot of housing construction from people abroad and within somalia.

Article name

Apparently "Ceerigabo" is not used as the English-language name. This being the English Wikipedia, I propose we rename the article. What isn't clear, though, is whether "Erigabo" or "Erigavo" is more commonly used. The latter is used throughout the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 14:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

History section

Under the history section, where did you get your information from with regards to Warsengali occupation of the area (it seems that you are implying that they are the original Somali inhabitants of the area)? Please clarify... Jeff333 —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:21, 8 November 2008.

You'd have to go through the article's history and see who added it. I've made an attempt to improve it but it still needs attribution. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:29, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
