Our next dubious Somali placename appears to have its origins in a UN report; the link in the article is dead but I found this story which contains a passing reference and which is reasonably likely to be a duplicate. The problem is that the story implies that Shanqolow is a neighborhood or something similar within Baardheere, not a town unto itself. And that is the only substantial information I found: geonames does not acknowledge the place at all. I'm dubious about redirecting this to Baardheere since there's no discussion of neighborhoods or the like, and it appears that the only place one would come across the name, the story I linked to, already tells you all we know.

Comment "Shanqolow" sounds curiously similar to
Shánkala. My guess is that the linked story provided by
Mangoe is based on an Ethiopian source referring pejoratively to Somali opponents.
