Abud-Waq, a city neglected by its own Diaspora community

[Keyse_0208]

What happened to all the money marexan stole from somalia, its true what they say 'xaraantu wax faaiido ah malaha'

[BaasAbuur]

Fsausomali is bullshidh, kulaha the entire Goldogob region waxa dagaan 45.000

Yeah I agree Fsausomali is full of bullshit. I have seen their population figures for many cities that I myself have been and how off those numbers are amazed me walle.

Keyse, not a single marehan had a house built outside Somalia so how could they have stole anything. I think all of Somalia's wealth, however big or little it was, went into Mogdishu unfortunately.

Keyse bal firi cuqdada heerka gaartay

if Marehan stole money, why arent Siyad Bare's children not millionaires? why did Siyad Bare's children go to normal schools in Mogadishu and not those privileged schools?

if Marehan stole money, why didnt they build highways for Hargeisa ila bosaaso ila Kismayo but not a highway to Abudwaq or high way to any of the cities in Gedo?

if Marehan stole any money, they wouldnt have ruled Somalia for 21 years. Only someone who rules cadaalad can rule that long.

Siyad Bare has done more for IIdor than he has done for Marehan taas la soco


Xamud, and how big's golgodob? these numbers are couple years old. maybe it went higher

[Xamud.]

I would say Goldogob city is probably between 70k-90k, but the district is probably 120,000 more or less.

[Shirib]

City was established in 1959 and they named it Caabudwaq

[Ducaysane_87]

Xamuud actually the city is nearly 200,000 or atleast 200,000 this present day - and the district is about 260,000 - 300,000 , the Mohamed Mumiins are Breeding like no other day walahi if you come goldogob every guy has like 3 wifes young and old - if i do a rough estimate on Mohamed mumiins i have to say they are atleast the same size as cumar maxamud or larger - since Maxamed Mumiins also live in Galckayo heavily and in ethiopia Dudub areas - The cumar maxamuds dont even have a equal city like goldogob to themselfs that they are the majority all they have is north of galckayo and little bits of burtinle which is way smaller then goldogob

Outrageous!

Outside of Xamar, the Somali districts with the highest ratio of population between main town and outlying villages don't get better ratios than 1:4 and Goldogob is among the lowest I'd say.

The district is 120k, correct, but Goldogob is barely centered around the main town. I'd say the main town is 15k at most. Cities like Bosaso are like 60-70k, Goldogob is probably 1/5th that or less. I'm not 100% sure but research has led me to believe so, comparing Somali cities especially to foreign cities of the same size.

[Xamud.]

Paidmonk
15k is abit over the edge, the town is not that small, If you check Google earth you will see that the town is very densely populated, the different between foreign cities and Somali cities is that Somalis tend to live on top of each other, like my family in Gaalkacyo we got atleast 5-15 people in each household.

But I agree with you Goldogob city is probably less then 50k but more then 20k, the city is very spread ila iyo 10-15 km + instead of aqal somali/mudul they have replaced it with small tiny houses with one room or two room.

Mahamed Muumins are big yes, but they are smaller then Cumar Maxamud, Cumar Maxamud is probably 30-40% of Majerteen. Most Mahamed Muumins count 5-7 generations from Mahamed Muumin himself they are much younger then CM.

[Ducaysane_87]

xamuud i have went to their degaans and from what i seen the Mohamed Mumiin degaans seemed more populated - tell me 1 city that the cumar mohamuds have to themselfs that they are the clear majority in that can be compared to goldogob? its clear burtinle is way smaller then goldogob and they are not even the majority - awrtable's are i actually went through burtinle - and it wasnt that big on my way to galckayo - - i though mohamed mumiin , Ugaas diini and cumar maxamud were all the same age wise? as for galckayo do you know that the leelkase's have the biggest degaan in galckayo? all the galbeed to themselfs all the way to south checkpoint bordering the sacads in baraxley while the cumars mohamuds are stuck in the north

[CoolPoisons]

Ducaysane hal suaal

Cool-Poison - me and Xamuud are having interesting convo about mohamed mumiin's Growing Size - adiga ka dheex baax - focus on your Sade clan

[Ducaysane_87]

Cool - i will look for a unbiased research about Reer Dini - but thanks for the info though

[Xamud.]

Ducaysane
Cumar Maxamuds are biggest in terms of population, after them waa reer Cisman of Leelkase(Muumins&,Fiqi Ismaciils) The Mahamed Muumins Dhaqaalo iyo Businees badan wey ku leyihin laakin tiro ahan laakin Cumar Maxamudka ka badan.


Most of my Mahamed Muumin friends/relatives 6-7 beey ka tirsadan Mahamed Muumin.

[CoolPoisons]
