How this list is made
GeoNames and the OCHA settlements list were merged where the same name (after Somali spelling rules: double vowels, dh/d, kh/k, x/h, q/k, c) sits within 5 km. Wikidata items were merged into GeoNames by name. The district and region come from placing each point inside the OCHA district boundaries (COD-AB v03); where a row has no point, the district is the one its source gives. Population is the figure the source gives (GeoNames, or the UNDP 1997 estimate in the OCHA list); most rows have none. The whole list, with every region or letter, is on Gazetteer of every place. We copy the sources and do not change what they say; see how we source.
