Clean out these ugly tents in front of the nice buildings and you will have amazing side walks. Hargeisa is happening!!!!!!!!

Hargeisa is taking shape and the new admin is doing some things to sort out the hab. In 5 years the city will be a completely different one. The establishments are investing in sidewalks along the main trading streets. Multi storey buildings that will transform the skyline are popping up everywhere (at least 8 ~7 floor buildings under constr). More major roads are being paved. Tacky buulal and tents are being moved from blocking the main high-streets. Shops are implementing a new model for their fronts and layouts much similar to uk high streets. There is definately a noticable shift in the quality of Hargeisa as a city and especially in its commerce and hospitality. It will not be soon before it is really suitable for a [diapora] returnee to live in the comfort to which he/she ha become acustomed.

The same is happening in Burco. Berbera is also going trough major revamps and it was heaving with business when I was there (the place has a charm to it). Borama is also doing a lot of things with its roads.

If we get a new mayor with a vision, I agree all these things you and more are possible but Jiciir has no agenda

Dhaga,

Let the original inhabitants (Cidagaale) rule their turf. Btw, the Dahabshiil building ain't going to be completed anytime soon. The architect did a major faux pas on the design and the construction engineer realized it a tad bit too late.

I still love Hargeisa:

1. Surfing the WIFI and chatting up the Xalimos at Summertime

2. Catching the cool breeze and drinking fresh caanogeel at KAAH

3. Attending wild house parties at Badacaase.

4. People spotting at Maansoor

5. Drinking coffee at Purple Coffee

6. Eating hot pizzas at FISH N STEAK

7. Smoking shiisha @ the Underground spot

8. Going to Suuqa and chatting up random chicks.

9. Eating an awesome meal at Hadwanaag

10. Ending the day with some fresh khat while sitting up on Masalaha rooftop.


HARGEISA => The last civilized Somali city and may Allah keep it safe.
