The whole point of using that source was to prove to poor Murux that it was not the MSB regime that built the Kismayo, Mogadishu and Barbera Port, rather it was the civilian administration that did so. Go ahead prove me otherwise You wanna talk about "fabricating" huh

Besides, "political parliamentary" disputes is healthy. There is no shame in that. 10001% better than 1 man rule

Don't try to play it off sxb, Kismaayo, Mogadishu, and those coastal cities were always "ports". Dhaws used to embark on Mogadishu in the 13the century and Kismaayo was a Swahili city state. Ports doesn't mean the modern ports 21st enlarged ports that exist today. I can bring you a thousand sources proofing the modern ports used today were built in the 70's even if the 60's government might have built a ramp or two. Just like Dubai has always been a port, modern Dubai port is nothing like even the 80's Dubai port. But that is a side issue to the greater intellectual lie you tried to play off in this topic

What fabrication they said "Highway support" did they say which highways? ITS COMMON KNOWLEDGE the Bossaso to Garowe down to Mogadishu, the Haregiesa to Bossaso, Mogadishu to Kismaayo, Mogadishu to Baydhabo, Baardheere to Mogadishu highways were ALL built by that regime.

Murax, all the guy listed is the PLANNING of those things. Just like two people go into a room and plan and over 75% was not implemented because of the corruption and "political parliamentary" instability (remember the 100 clan based "political partieis" and the ineffective governments of the 60's) in the country among other things. This is childish wallahi, fabricating things that are right here on the net.

Not suprised at all. Its common knowledge the Bossaso to Xamar road was built by MSB, and its a fact that Berbera was originally built by the prior regime but enlarged by MSB, and that Bossaso port as well as the Bossaso to Garowe road built by Him, as well as the Mogadishu to Kismaayo, and Mogadishu to Baydhabo, but let the revisionism continue. Those roads, as well as even the soap, water factories (Some of the very few actual industries in the North) would not even be possible without Him. However at least Puntland/Somalialnd actually benefitted and took advantage of those tools, instead of using tanks and bazookas and fighting urban combat for 20 years within a city like animals.

WELL ACTUALLY WRONG

From the very same source

As can be seen from Table 2, the American aid funds have been utilized primarily for basic infrastructural investments: the construction of a deep-water port at Kisimayo, including water and electricity supplies for the town; a feasibility study of Mogadiscio port; Mogadiscio water supply; and highway construction. Agriculture has also been assisted, particularly in developing an experimentation and demonstration farm at Afgoi, and a soils laboratory and farming training centre at Baidoa.

Now who is "fabricating"

The reason for the slow-implementation ( apart from untrained bureaucracy) has also been blamed on:

Somalia's development strategy, in common with many other developing countries, has emphasized physical infrastructure. However, such investment generally requires a considerable length of time before becoming productive. Moreover, and perhaps more important, the profitability of such projects depends on the degree to which they can induce or stimulate economic activity in other segments of the economy.
