The city can't be at both 1800 metres and the foot of a 2760 foot mountain, that makes no sense.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.162.25 ( talk) 20:28, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
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.
P.s erigavo is one the oldest citys in somali. erigavo has maintain a high influx of refuges from southern somalia and alot of farmers have move from the country-side, erigavo has growed 3 times the size of the barre government. seening a lot of housing construction from people abroad and within somalia.
Apparently "Ceerigabo" is not used as the English-language name. This being the English Wikipedia, I propose we rename the article. What isn't clear, though, is whether "Erigabo" or "Erigavo" is more commonly used. The latter is used throughout the article. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 14:12, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Dear Writter
I am really disapointed.. all what are you saying is quit far from the truth.
becouse you are claiming that Erigavo inhabitants are only 5000 to 10,000 but you didnot base it any facts and figures... but let me remember you onething.
-According to the last Somaliland voter registration more than 130,000 were registered and there are international observers. u can times atleast 3 for real conses.
- As You mentioned that Erigavo is dry land... but Its very famous agriculture so there are almost thousands of people who are dependent to that section and they are densily populated.
so plz try to base ur argument facts —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.81.181.139 ( talk) 13:33, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
Under the history section, where did you get your information from with regards to Warsengali occupation of the area (it seems that you are implying that they are the original Somali inhabitants of the area)? Please clarify... Jeff333 —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:21, 8 November 2008.

The image File:Somalia.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.

Somaliland has a abig camp for the [edit] Dhulbahante. Warsangeli. Refugees in sanaag write about that ???????????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3abdush ( talk • contribs) 01:42, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
the hole article needs re change and needs sources for the claim that the city fell to the mad mullah which history sources never back and there are more to be writing about the city and its inhabitants which mainly are Isaaq like i say...needs sources and rewriting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mohikan allebbey ( talk • contribs) 03:22, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Northern94 can you please go to the talk page instead of edit waring? AcidSnow ( talk) 18:53, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, I did not know you started a talk page already. could you show me how you did it? And lets try to worked it out on the Demographic of Erigavo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Northern94 ( talk • contribs) 19:15, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
and please show me the full pages in the Oxford book that supports your claim on the Demo of Erigavo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Northern94 ( talk • contribs) 19:25, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Indeed it seems that your so called source does state the Warsangali as the largest clan in Erigavo. That is impossible. Where are you by the way?

The demographics section provides incorrect information. Erigavo is inhabited by numerous clans, however, the Isaaq and Harti clans are predominant. There are no official statistics or credible estimates which suggest which of the two is larger in the city, therefore, it this information should be corrected otherwise there should reference to proof the current information is correct. Cagadhiig ( talk) 21:54, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
The quote you have given is distorted to suit your means. There is no doubt that the town is currently dominated military by the Habar Yonis along with Habar Jeclo of the Isaaq, due to the support of Somaliland, however the city is inhabited by many clans. The main four clans are the Warsangali, Dhulbahante and the two aforementioned Isaaq clans, there are many books, academic articles and NGO studies which clarify this point. So, please correct this error as soon as possible.

"[In Erigavo] members of various Isaaq and Darod/ Harti clans reside together..." Cagadhiig ( talk) 07:17, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Yes all for clans settle in the Sanaag region that is not point of contention here, but ALL four clans also live Erigavo city. Here is another quote clarifying this fact, "In Ceerigaabo, the capital of Sanaag region, members of various Isaaq and Darood/ Harti clans reside together" [2]. What more proof of this fact do you need?
Hey why is dhulbahante missing from the demographics.
The naaleye Ahmed have presence. They are second clan with most MPs in ceerigaabo (6 local MPs voted) and they hold vice governor if I am not mistaken.
Either way it wells known they live in the city and have higher population than habar jeclo and Warsengali.
Habar jeclo only managed to get 2 mps

WTF!
The Largest clans residing in Erigavo are:
Muse Isma'il
Sa'ad Younis
Muse Arre
Mind you they are ALL from the Habar younis a sub clan of the Habar Garhjis confederation of the larger Isaaq clan.
Second in numbers there is the Habar Je'llo, another sub clan but from the Habar Hubshoo confederation of the Isaaq.
How come you claim the biggest & largest city in Sanaag to be inhabited by the Warsanagali who equal in numbers the small Arab clan of the Isaaq? Not only that, you just added the Dhulubahante to the mix and toke out the only valid fact which it's the Habar younis!. Both Harti clans have a very few numbers there in line with the minority Gaboy and Sameroon clans.
I strongly disagree with this fault description over Erigavo population.

The Infobox gives the population as 220,546 and the Demographics sections gives the population as 120,546. One of these is clearly in error. (Neither has a reference to enable me to verify the real figure.) I suspect a typing error when copying the figure to the Infobox?
Given the earlier discussion about the population in the 1st section of this talk page, which talks of figures around 100,000, I believe the 120,546 is the more credible. I have updated the Infobox to reflect this. If anybody disagrees with this action please put forward a reference from which we can verify the figures. I have looked at http://www.tageo.com/index-e-so-cities-SO.htm, which is used as a ref on other pages for other Somali towns, and this gives a figure of 41000 in the year 200. I have therefore also added this (older?) figure to the demographics section. MWchat ( talk) 16:23, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
According the UNDP population estimate (2005) for the district of Erigavo was 114,846 [1]. There is however, no credible estimate or census result on Erigavo city, therefore, i suggest that the 2005 UNDP estimate be used. Cagadhiig ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:48, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I've noticed dhulbahante is missing from demographics. Can you Include them. The naaleye Ahmed subclan of dhulbahante are citizens.
HY especially gadhweyne are majority but I don't know why dhulbahante is left out and minorities are included (Gahayle, magaadle)
We have 6 Mps from ceerigaabo. Reer buuhoodle ( talk) 20:29, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Ceerigaabbo is in Sanaag, Somaliland and under Somaliland governance there for the location should say Somaliland.

@ Shirshore: I have reverted your edits since they were unexplained, unconstructive and have not contributed to the article in any way, other than removing all mentions of Somaliland with Somalia, which breaches a long-standing consensus.
Maybe if you could explain your thinking behind them we might reach a consensus and come up with a solution, since senseless edit warring is not something that's acceptable in Wikipedia. Dabaqabad ( talk) 16:26, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

@ Hawkers994: I saw your edit. According to the source there, the Jul. rain is 10 mm. The versions you have reverted are 10 to 100, 41 to 141, 114 to 214, etc., which are so “similar” to the original numbers that they seem to be mere fabrications. Please check it.
