History
During the 1961 Somali constitutional referendum, in order to secure a substantial "Yes" vote for southerners, the small town reported 100,000 votes.[4] This was higher than total ballots cast in the North (British Somaliland), therefore Northerners became suspicious of the political nature of Southerners.[4] As a result, coining the new term "Wanlaweyn" for Southerners, which is still used today.[4][5]
