Burco is bigger than Kismaayo!

Post by HaragWafi85 »

Kismaayo a city once famed for being the third largest city in Somalia today is smaller than the Burco of 2004, you can be the judge in the those screenshots from Google Earth with both at the same Eye alt 6.79 km.


Kismaayo - A city with port advantage and clan variety ( Marehan, Harti, Cawrmaale, Ogaden, Gaaljecel, Bajuni).

Kismaayo - 2006. As you can see there is hardly many houses in the city and the west and east of it is mostly unhabited bush areas.

Burco - A city that is primarily inhabited by Habar Yoonis and Habar jeclo.

Burco - 2004.

Don't embarass yourself. Burco is not one district of Kismaayo. Kismaayo once you zoom seems to be one of the most densley populated cities in Somalia. Kulahaa "not a lot of houses".

I read the Burco PDF UNhabitat file and the most accepted population estimates according to them is 150,000 which is around the same as Kismayo. Still back in the 80s before the civil war reached the South, Kisimayo use to be the third largest city in Somalia, now its either 4th or 5th largest; Times change, as all the Somalis returned to their tribal peripheral regions.

Looking at that pic..

Burco, Kismaayo and Bosaso are about the Same size.

Hargeisa is half the size of Mogadisho.

Am Not talking about Population.

Babygirl- hargeysa being half the size of Mogadishu? that was about 20 years ago but not now. Hargeysa is very big you should pay a visit to Google Earth. :lol:
One district of Hargeysa alone is bigger than cities like Kismaayo.

HERE WE GO AGAIN... :roll:
ANYWAYS WHO GIVES A FOCK ABOUT HOW LARGE A CITY AND ITS POPULATION IS! IT'S ALL ABOUT INFASTRUCTURE...
SINCE HARTI LEFT THEIR HOLY CITY OF KISMAYO, THE CITY WENT STRAIGHT TO HELL AND HAS BECAME A HUTU-BANTU-ILKOYAR SHITHOLE.
SINCE SOMALILAND BROKEAWAY, BURCO'S IMPROVING ITS INFASTRUCTURE AND INSTITUTIONS. THEY HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BUT GREAT JOB REER BURCO!

Also your map of Kismaayo is from 2005 not as you put it "TODAY"!

And Yh I believe Hargeisa is big Somali standards but not as big as Mogadisho.. & never believe somalis & their claims about the Population of their regions because they lie...

Babygirl the map of Kismaayo is 2006 not 2005 (Imagery date 3/2/2006). But i don't think much changed in that city because it's always under corrupt adminstrations.
