bosaso is surrounded by mountains on one side and the sea on the other
the city cannot grow much further.

There's at least 3 miles of lowland left, after that they have to face the mountains:



But you can still build homes on those, it just gets more difficult but if you look on the bright side the mountains provide cooler temperatures.

Burco is slightly smaller, but not by a lot.

It's not available yet, you'll have to be patient. However, I read recent reports from NGO's and they usually estimate Burco to be smaller.

Burco's around 450,000 Whilist
bosaso is 483,000

Dude..that's way too high. lol.. weren't you the same guy who said Hargeisa was 1.2 million while in reality it's only ~600.000. Bosaso is probably around ~200,000.

Somalis should stop overestimating their cities.

Did he say Hergeisa has 1.2 million in Population?

lol he probably got that from wikipedia.

all somali cities on wikipedia have fake population figures (usually double the real size).

even water has not become enough the 3rd pipeline is called for to be created
""The city's water supply system has not been improved since the mid-1980s, yet more and more people are migrating from the countryside to Hargeisa, Khalif Aw Abdillahi, manager of the Hargeisa water agency, told IRIN. "We produce 9,000 cubic meters of water daily, which is not enough for the city population because it is increasing; so [supply] needs to expand."

if not 1.3 then it must be 900k or 1 million.

Actually, I checked an UNHCR report that put Bosaso at 483,000 including the 120,000 IDPs in the figure.

1 million is the size of Stockholm or Khartoum.

Hargeisa is nowhere near that. It's roughly half it.

Link it. The entire population of Bari is 500k.....Bosaso is at the very most 250K (which is quite a lot anyway, quantity =/= quality).
