Somali "locality", which means it's just a place and people don't necessarily live there. Satellite imagery shows it's a patch of desert. No sources other than the one database entry used to create the article and some clickbait recycling the same database. Doesn't meet WP:NGEO. Hut 8.5 14:35, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GTranslate, btw, seems to think it means "US Dollars"!Mangoe (talk) 20:31, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
