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.

I like how at the beginning they mention there is a big map of Africa and they completely marked off Somalia on it,

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.

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."
