- Result: Lacks some citations, but more importantly recent updates in the history section. Is additionally recent-biased in economy section. As Dr. Blofeld notes, not a lot of work required, just some diligent copyediting and sourcing. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:21, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
A GA from 2014. There is many unsourced material (such as the entirety of the culture: general section.) along with some supposedly needed updates and a better wording of
- "In October 2017, over 500 people were killed by a truck bombing.[citation needed]
- In March 2022, al-Shabaab killed over 60 people in a series of attacks.[122]
- In October 2022, an al-Shabaab double car bombing killed over 120 people.[citation needed]"
among many other things. If that can be addressed then this will not have to be delisted. Onegreatjoke (talk) 03:29, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- The economy section displays recentism, only covering events since 2011. Steelkamp (talk) 05:13, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
Sadly the main article writer Middayexpress was blocked in 2015. The article has degraded since 2014 through overediting. I don't know if Fsmatovu wants to take a look at it and see if he can source and improve it to retain GA status? I don't think it needs a lot of work, just to check there are no unsourced claims, removed what can't be sourced and avoid the short snappy sentences like those mentioned above.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:14, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
