Primary issues (added by the filing party)
The parties are disputing wether to include the phrase "the Sool region is almost Exclusively inhabited by the
Dhulbahante clan" in the article.
I believe its an accurate and appropriate phrase to include. To substantiate this I provided reliable sources which explicitly use the phrase, which can be found here[1]and almost exclusively [2][3][4] at P.7, P.10, P.405 respectively.
The other two editors however, disagree with this because they believe that it would be not neutral to use this phrase since other groups also settle in the region
However, these other groups are numerously insignificant in the region and therefore, I believe it would be correct to use the phrase.
Nonetheless, I am willing to compromise and instead use the word predominantly for the article in exchange for the term almost exclusively.
