Of the three COUNTRIES of ethnic somali majority (Somaliland, Somalia and Djibouti), each has one major city (Hargeisa, Mogadishu and Djibouti city respectively)

Somaliland has 3 ordinary cities (Berbera, Burco and Borama) and everything else is either a town or village
Somalia has 3 ordinary cities (Galkacyo, Kismayo and Beledweyne) and everything else is a town or village
Djibouti has no ordinary cities, 5 regional capitals as towns and everything else is a village

Fixed

Bosaso is already into city territory. I will not be surprised if it surpasses burco in size in the next decade. It is actually bigger than Baydhabo now.
And it has economic growth on its side.

Bosaso surpassing burco in the next decade or so ...I am assuming you meant Hargeysa.
Bosaso has better infrastructure far more robust economy and of course more population than burco Berbers and ceerigaabo combined...

Qardho is bigger than berbera-Fact
Buurtinle is bigger than ceerigaabo -debatable
Gaalkacyo is bigger than burco -fact

And puntland without sool and sanaag is bigger than somaliland without sool and sanaag -FACT

why do you daroods fart out bullshid horta, do you think of you repeat enough time people will believe.

burco is at least twice bigger the boosaso. Burco is at least 6 times wealthier the boosaso.

i am not even going to mention berbera because berbera brings more income in a month the the whole of bunt land gets in a year . You get 30 million from government of Mogadishu a year, lets not embarrass ourselves sxb.


hargeisa is gone and not even Mogadishu can catch up let alone a dusty villages of garowe and boosaso.

boosaso makes about the same as ceerigaabo.

boosaso is the largest darood settlement, and it is equal to a small isaaq city. Ceerigaabo is already seeing heavy investment from hy and is going to surpass boosaso with in the next 5 to 7 years

Ceerigaabo > Bigger than Burtinle

Burco > Bigger than Galkayo

City- Hargeisa

Mid sized towns- Kismayo, Gaalkacyo, Baidoa, Bosaso, Borama, Beledweyne and Burco

Everywhere else in Somalia is either a small town or village.

You are just ascribing statuses based on relative knowledge, it would be unfair to compare the US for example which is a much larger country than Somalia and use its relative conditions and use the same for Somalia which is much smaller. City status is handed down by the government of a country; it could be no larger than your typical town in the United Kingdom but at the same it could have building, financial strength, political influence that grants it city status.

Garowe can be given city (mainly because it capital and governental status) despite the fact that the urban area only has a population of 70,000. Case in point, Hum has a city status despite the fact that it only has 23 people live there.

Both at the same zoom, Galkayo only flexes out in width, while Burco is longer and also has width.
