Talk:Jowhar

Now what? It looks like new islamic Somalia would be perfect for Al-Kaida HQ and binladen throne. Will the USA/UN send in a big army to rid the jihadists? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.70.32.136 (talk • contribs)

I wouldn't be surprised, but saying the US might attack without a citation is original research. --71.241.244.232 22:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Map
Is it possible to get a map image of where Jowhar is in Somalia? Poobarb 12:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I could not find it on any public domain maps.--Paul E. Ester 13:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * We really just need the latitude and longitude. Then we can put it on a "dot map" of Somalia.--Pharos 19:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Google earth shows Jawhar at  2°46'23.00"N by  45°30'41.59"E, which is different from the above. Also, I don't know how Google earth puts links to wikipedia in the program, but Google earth has a link to this wikipedia page at  1°56'59.91"N by  44°49'59.96"E. I don't know how to fix the Google earth link, but wanted to note the discrepancies for those that do. --Jim 13:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


 * That would be: I rounded off the seconds to 42" E... --Petercorless 13:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Doing some tweaking with the maps, this looks best, smack-dab in the midst of the town: --Petercorless 14:10, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Please add the importance of rice farming in the area — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamahg (talk • contribs) 05:59, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Population
I've just removed the population figure of "about 6,000 people". Reading about the town in the process of developing the article, this struck me as an extremely low figure considering the town's regional importance. And now I've found that the Italian Wikipedia gives a figure of 47,000, which IMO makes a lot more sense.--Pharos 19:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
