The town of Erigavo definitely does not have a population of 100,000. The region of Sanaag could have a population of 100,000
Agree. 100,000 was a population figure for the region, used by the Syad Barre government in the 1980s. The population of Erigavo in that decade was variously estimated at between 5,000 and 10,000. it should be remembered that Sanaag is a very dry region with only a few areas where there is any agriculture (in a few tugs coming out of the main range along the top of the escarpment. There is not a single tarmac road in the whole region.
