Jigjiga hasn't grown much in 16 years

[Togdeer]

Always blame the isaaq bogeyman.
Not my fault jigjiga has not really grown.

[Talo alle udaa]

The entire Ogaden region was under de -facto economic blockade with whatever little coming through the borders being siphoned off as "contraband" by crooked officers and Liyu police. Now that there is some semblance of law and order, new direction, expect the area to see an economic boom, specially in Jigjiga.
