Elguriasamo[edit]

Another Somali "town" without sources to verify existence and which doesn't appear on satellite imagery at the location where it's supposed to be. "Guriasamo" does appear as a label on a few maps but that's all I've been able to find. Hut 8.5 14:38, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Two sources, both in Italian, both referring to the place as El Guriasamo and both apparently originating in the 1950s. Unfortunately, I can't see enough of either to get an indication of how good they might be. PWilkinson (talk) 01:01, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- The mentions in the first one translate (according to Google) as something being "East of El Guriasamo", "We took two days for the descent from El Guriasamo to...", "We set the camp just above El Guriasamo, at about 1700m...". None of these suggests that it is a town as claimed, it could easily be a hill or some other natural feature. That would fit in much better with the satellite imagery.
