Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

diseases consistent with radiation sickness

If there were levels of radiation capable of causing radiation sickness, the radiation would be clearly measurable in an extremely wide area, probably even in Europe. So it is extremely clear that there is no radiation sickness and 'consistent with radiation sickness' is a clear case of weasel words. --2001:708:110:1820:7646:A0FF:FEA0:4B5B (talk) 09:46, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Refugees

Many thanks for adding more information on Somali refugees. However the information is quite hidden within the section on Somali civil war. Would it at all be possible to have a subsection on refugees within the section on demographics? Then it could be more easily found and would appear in the content box. Just a thought. Michtrich (talk) 18:02, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is in its appropriate context. Per WP:WPC, such sections aren't standard on country pages (nor are refugees the same thing as internally displaced persons). Things like geography are. Soupforone (talk) 00:36, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Barbara

According to the Periplus, the ancient Barbara region was actually located in the littoral area between Upper Egypt and northeastern Somalia. Soupforone (talk) 00:36, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Politics

Per WP:BRD, please discuss your edits here for consensus Abdullsaed. You have renamed headers, moved files and text, and aggregated the 2010 and federal authorities though they are different governments. Also note that per WP:COUNTRIES, the politics area is not for breaking news, but instead serves as an overview of the current governmental system, possibly previous forms, and some short notes on the parliament. Soupforone (talk) 03:11, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The politics section is outdated, i think (the Transitional institutions and Islamic courts Union which dates back 2000 and 2006) should be in History section, (see for example Libya).what ever happened in 2011 is not disturbing (Politics section) just governmental system same goes with Iraq, but Somalia Politics: these History related sections is disrupting politics chronology, ( with content about Transitional institutions , then Islamic Courts, then Government... did that look more presentable to you!) 2010-2012 Government is part of Coalition government (although different Prime minster) we should consider making it subsection.
