Talk:Laas Dawaco

Confirmation that the place exists
Considering the page creator's editing history, I tried to figure out if this article is a hoax. This old US Army map supports the existence of "Laz Daua" at approximately 10.46667°N, 49.08333°W. Special:PermaLink/756707781 mentions Dhumayle to be 2 km east of the subject, and I indeed could find "Dumale" somewhat east of Laz Daua on that map. Various maps at http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/somalia.html also support a town in that location, spelled "Laas Dawaco", for which there is a substantial amount of Google hits. With a bit of transliterational freedom, the place does indeed not seem like a hoax. --HyperGaruda (talk) 20:17, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
