LOL@ comparing Sarajevo to any Somali city. Sarajevo and rest of the Balkans have long and rich history of civilisation. Be more realistic.

Somalis have long way to go...laakin they could start of with not building ugly multi-coloured buildings everywhere and start doing some city-planning.

mashallah to reer bosaso. it may not be like dubai but its people have done well considering it was built by them not foreigners, no turkish building them things, no foreign governments investing or building things, all of this done by reer burco. so well done and may it continue to prosper

[Basra-]

Mashalaah

Walaahi, Somalis are going somewhere. I am actually delighted.

[Somaliman%]

Lol @ bosaso. Xamar by far is the most developed somali city and it will among top 10 african cities in a decade iA.

Xamar is ghost town. Bullet ridden, with history of anarchy. Protected by african troops and a corrupt government, Funded by turkey. These developments you see in bosaso are all fumded by its own people, not turkey or africans keeping the peace. It's from the people. Also this isn't a competition we want all of somalia to develope insha allah. You will never get anywhere while you put down others achievement and progress.

Xamud and OD you forgot about jigjiga. And i agree Bossaso is similar to Xamar in its cosmopolitan nature, rare in the Somali landscape.
Also despite the progress of Boss city i still think within 10 - 20 years Mogadishu and Kismayo (new markets) will be the leading city by far in the nation. Bossaso and Berbera also has potential to boom aswell if they innovate with FDI along with the current leader Djibouti.
The port cities are where the heart of development is in most developing countries and this similar for Somalia too.









Yes town planning is needed however all global south cities need town planning such as india somalia etc
These Diaspora trying to do just that just off the highway - all sold.





Btw liquid - Sarajevo was built by various empires since antiquity. No need to compare, just be hopeful.

I'm a big fan of coastal cities. There is something about the Red Sea that really compliments B-town. City planning on growing cities is very difficult though, it would involve demolishing properties and resettling people. That's what happened to a lot of towns in Brazil actually during the WC, all the favelas were being uprooted.

Btw they should keep everything white-washed. Any colour other than white is just fugly.

[BlackRain]

Very impressive but Garowe beats it in terms of planning and organization

[burcaawi14]

Did bosaaso get destroyed during the war? I thought most of Bari didn't face any damage

[BlackRain]

No but it was like like Eyl size wise

[burcaawi14]

Walle bosaaso is nice...somali cities just need infrastructure which takes imf loans and economic reform to build.

Yeah that great civilization of Bosnia Herzegovina that we all learned aboutin history class. Are you another one of those "Somalis have no history" nutters that run around the forum? Xamar is older and was more prestigious until the zoo animals got at her.

True. The IMF doesn't only bring money but valuable advice, expertise and direction to these corrupt governments

IMF loans will transform a nation into a slave of the modern hegamony, all for a f-king set of fancy buildings.
