Guban, Unfortunately Somalis are lazy species wherever they are as they don't have the patience and persistence for small businesses such as having small shoe stall in the market. I wouldn't say they run the market but I agree with you they have lots of small stalls in the market mostly Guraaga people. Also, they are the ones who build hotels, cook for hotels, and work as servers. But in terms of big businesses such as hotels, restaurants, wholesalers, real estate developers and shopping malls, they almost exclusively Somali-owned. As for Ethiopia having lockdown in J-city, I got news for you bud, Ethiopia has a lockdown in every Somalia city.GubanOgoHawdJSL wrote:Why is there so many amharics in jigjiga they pratically run all the businesses and jigjiga main suuq is majority qabyo to me the town was still reer badiye i cant even imagine living in lockdown ethiopia but any development is good development just my two cents.
As for infrastructure and development, J-city is going to outpace all other Somali cities due its well-developed zoning and street structures. I am not sure if it were the Russians or Cubans who designed it, but the city has some amazing street structures:
