Demographics
Wanlaweyn has a population of around 140,600 inhabitants.[1] The broader Wanlaweyn District has a total population of 250,643 residents.[2].
History
During the 1961 Somali constitutional referendum, in order to secure a substantial "Yes" vote for southerners, the small town reported 100,000 votes [3]. This was higher than total ballots cast in the North (British Somaliland), therefore Northerners became suspicious of the political nature of Southerners [3]. As a result, coining the new term "Wanlaweyn" for Southerners, which is still used today [3] [4].

gollark: As I said, the RX 570 is a pretty good budget GPU as long as you have a spare PCIe power connector.
gollark: That doesn't matter for GPU upgrades though.
gollark: It's LGA1151 (v1), given the CPU.
gollark: The best CPU you could get on that board is probably then the i7-7700K, which is at least two generations outdated at this point so probably horribly expensive.
gollark: That CPU's still okay, I think, so you could just get a better GPU for now.
