Mogadishu Bakara Market 2012

[UlteriorMotive]

Mashallah it doesn't seem to have suffered too much wear and tear from the last couple of years. I remember the TFG refusing to shell the place to flush Shabab out. The Bakara businessmen were not having that lol. They said it would damage millions of dollars worth of equipment.
The Hormuud Tower is still going strong too mashallah.

We have space, i would like to shop and sit in jardiin to take a break

[BlackVelvet]

Cadado, Ceelbuur, Jowhar, Beledweyne, Guriceel, Dhusomareeb,.... those places will have Shopping malls with jardiino and parks with fountains and ponds. Hada Bakaraha is the biggest market in the whole of Somalia, mesha wa lagu soo shamuumey space into ku yala?

during the boom days in bakaraha if you said am from galgaduud people cut you in, in lucrative business deals and gave you discount importing goods in kismaayo port and security of logistics was on the house...those where the days
All that wealth has been transferred now to east Africa countries mainly Kenya and South Africa and put in real estate and large and import export busness ventures
South sudan is where most of that wealth his heading now

With all the High Definition cameras everywhere these days, is there no at least one person to grab their camera and shoot one good, long video of Bakara market and all the other memorable places in Mogadishu (apart from those videos shot on board of moving cars with potato cameras and still images)?
