The most beautiful places in all of Somalia Pics....

Faqash,

"Our last passenger, whose destination is the port of Bosaso in Warsangeli country, brings with her the scent of household incense, which fills the vehicle. The land of Pount. It is difficult to wax lyrical while our car jolts along chaotic roads out of the center of town under reconstruction, then out into the suburbs skimmed by vultures where whole neighborhoods still lie in rubble. But in spite of the ruins and the reinforced concrete of the urban landscape, nostalgia settles in. The Land of Pount represents that mythology with which Uncle William Syad filled our ears; this was the name the Egyptian Pharaohs gave to the shores of the Horn of Africa where their feluccas came to trade in aromatic gum. The region of Erigavo recently resumed the export of incense, which had been brutally interrupted by the civil war, and the "Cape of Aromatics" can now legitimately reclaim its true appellation. "Nostalgia has no archives, at best some relics," said Vladimir Jankélévitch. Let us classify the incense burners crammed with "cuud" among these relics, along with the family saga handed down by Syad, to which we shall return when we arrive at Las Anod."

"Frankincense
Frankincense trees are spread over a vast mountainous territory in Puntland. At present,
two types of commercial frankincense are collected—maydi (Boswellia frereania) from yagcar
trees and beeyo from moxor trees (Boswellia sacra). Maydi frankincense is produced only in
Somalia, while different varieties of beeyo are produced in Ethiopia (Ogaden region),
Eritrea, Oman and India. There is no census on the number of trees and the volume of the
17
potential output in Somalia. Before the collapse of the central government, the state-owned
Frankincense Development Agency estimated that some 10,000 families were engaged in
collecting and producing frankincense in Somalia (Bari and Sanaag regions)."
