It seems to be a nice place. Are you planning to visit it some day?

Bear in mind that the video was recorded in 1996, just after the civil war between warlord abduallihi yusuf and general farah addid

My cousin went their dis summer, they told me how the city and the people are really wierd.

For example theirs an invisble line between the city, which separates it north and south where mj men can't go south and haber gider men can't go north, only women from both clans can go north or south, and the airport is so so small. Theres militia men in the south that would tell u to pay a fee to use their road, but the north has no militia men but rather mj police, lol.

The only hospital is in the south aswell as the airport other than that most of the infracstuture is in the north.

Yeah, I heard similar stories... A friend of mine who visited Xamar some years ago told me that she needed some bodyguards to come across the city and had to pay money to visit some districts...

Kamal35 in xamar thats daroods or weak clans that need body guards, but am sacad and as a sacad, i don't need no body guards cos i hve close connection with reer jalaf (top sub sub clan of sacad), and any other clan that touchs me is gonna wish they never have, cos 10 x more people of their own qabil will get kidnapped, walahi.

Judging by the excerpts from that clip, I wont be going to Galkayco pretty soon, nothing to wank about in my view.

This place isnÂ’t something to be proud of. ItÂ’s simply a village with ugly people in it.
