Euro tourists have unhappy time in Somaliland

[Scarletmoon1]

Poor them nobody taught them how to chew qat.

They should have stayed in Ethiopia

Even Eritrea would have been better

I think they could be nicer but it just doesn't seem like the people of Hargeisa are cosmopolitan at all. Did the Benadir coast have 95% of Somalia's cosmopolitanism? Plus it doesn't help Hargeisa is not a coastal city and doesn't have history in trade, commerce, and different communities living together.

Even though I support Somaliland independence, I really don't think for its own sake it could do without Mogadishu as its capital. During normal circumstance Somaliland would be the North Korea to Somalia's South Korea.

Instead of criticizing Hargeisa, why don't you take on more meaningful projects in Gedo regions and try to figure out why are Ilkoyar regions are so miserable, you should also be trying to find ways to improve Ilkoyar hardships back in Gedo, instead of being obsess with Somaliland affairs.

What does that have to do with me giving an observation?

comming across some anti-foreigner sentiments is actually refreshing, considering how welcoming the people are to foreigners especially westerners.

I have never been there or Somalia since I was a toddler so coming across the whole experience, it didn't resemble the Caribbean vacationing spot some tried to pain it as. In fact, looked worse then the villages I went to in Zambia and Botswana that I went on a educational experience let alone vacationing.

They are a bunch of chavs, they wanted the SL to treat them like gods, just like the Ethiopians did.

I wish they had gone to Nigeria they would be asked to cough up some money for being directed

I mean what a bunch of rude chavs.

I agree ninyahow. I would like Somalis to remain that way for their own safety.

One thing I've always liked about Soomaalida was their disinterest in foreigners and specially tourists. Even as a kid, nobody liked tourists roaming around the city snapping pics or swimming at the beach. If anything, Soomaalida kept away from them and either ignored them or dealt with them as being beneath them. The same can't be said of other Africans, specially Kenyans who worship them. And it was a death sentence for a Somali girl to be seen with these foreigners unlike other Africans who think its something to display.

Mogadishu’s "first tourist" puzzles immigration officials

When Mike Spencer Bown disembarked from his flight in Mogadishu this week and described himself as a tourist, Somali immigration officials thought the Canadian man was either mad or a spy.

"They tried four times to put me back on the plane to get rid of me but I shouted and played tricks until the plane left without me," the 41-year-old told an AFP correspondent in Mogadishu on his hotel’s roof terrace.

Somali officials then tried to hand him over to the African Union military force in Mogadishu, refusing to believe that he was in the city for pleasure.

"We have never seen people like this man," Omar Mohamed, an immigration official, said Friday. "He said he was a tourist, we couldn’t believe him. But later on we found he was serious."
