It had more contributors and content than does the Afar Wikipedia (aa.wp)...

And where is this spam? I never saw such things.

Well, according to the other side, it is your Wikipedia which was
politically rigged. Theirs is written in the official variety, the one
taught in schools. I do understand that it can be seen as a support of

"politically rigged". If anything, it seems to be much moreso.
