Somaliland's disputed area and area size

the disputed area seems to be exaggerated the somaliland gov has near complete presence in sanaag region including the capital ceerigabo(erigavo) and western portions of sool region including the entirety of ainabo district and half of hudun district

and one more thing that is incorrect here is the area size, it says 76,000 km² you should recorrect that I say 176,000 km² Ayanle2001 (talk) 19:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current reference, ^[1], for the demonym "Somalilander" makes no mention of the term in its contents. I recommend changing the reference to ^[2] or another reputable source that actually uses the term. Rupumped (talk) 08:53, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
