Question to fellow Landers!

Post by Cumar-Labasuul »

I hear from many of the older generation referring to Hargeysa as 'Herer' why is that? As far as I know Harar is an old city in West of Jigjiga.

I think you may be right seeing as the stuff shipped from berbera goes through hargeysa direct to harar.
As for adari I've heard of it but I thought it was the name of the original people there
