Hello, Brother Mohamed

Good question. Let me help you out here. Accourding to Italying Writer Casseneli revealed this area to be where the " GALADI tribesmen fought with the Italys. The Galadi defeaded Italian soldeirs and that is why we call it today Lafoole.

I hope this answers your questions brother.

Is it coz the university had no LAFO at all? Meaning it had no skeletons in the closet?
