Talk:Regions of Somalia

[edit] map and contents don't match

If Saaxil and Woqooyi Galbeed are separated and listed in alphabetical order, this breaks correspondence with the numbered regions of the map. I have moved Saaxil to 18th in the list, next to Woqooyi Galbeed. Perhaps the map should be updated to reflect the changed list? (unsigned)

I reverted back to when the map and content matched. I'll do a diff any put back what seems worth keeping. 4.250.138.184 18:36, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] About Saaxil

Saaxil was created by "Somaliland" in recently, dividing Waqooyi Galbeed in order to create that region. Saaxil was not one of the official 18 regions when the Somali civil war erupted, so therefore can't be added as "regions of Somalia." If we add that means the other identity known as "Puntland" which also had created new regions that fall under their authority, regions such as "Cayn" and "Haylaan." It is the best to leave the 18 official ones, I believe. Soomaali Nov., 15, 2005

[edit] Consistency of regions across Solami articles

We could do with getting the "number of regions" stories straight at Somalia#Administrative divisions (lists 18, notes there are now 27, Districts of Somalia (lists 19) and Regions of Somalia (lists 27). I appreciate the changes since circa 1990, but we should be capable of discussion the history of region changes. Currently, at best, Districts of Somalia serves to confuse. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
