Somaliland

[edit]

Seeing as a large portion of this former state is now part of the de facto sovereign state of Somaliland, I have reinstated the other editor's version with de facto clarification. Kzl55 (talk) 11:30, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Assassination & Bloodless coup?

[edit]

The LEDE for this article first says there was a bloodless coup in 1969 when the Marxist-Lenninist dictatorship took over. Then the next sentence says that the President of Somalia was assassinated in 1969.

How can a coup be bloodless when the head of state is shot and killed as part of a takeover? This seems contradictory.

It is probably just not well worded, the coup was apparently set in motion the day after the assassination. I dont think I have seen any source linking the coup to the assassination. Regards--Kzl55 (talk) 09:11, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Colour of Somalia on map

[edit]

Why is Somalia coloured blue? Aren't countries usually coloured green on Wikipedia? Scaramouche33 (talk) 14:37, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
