Berbera's fragile architectural beauties, ranging from Ottoman mansions to neighbourhoods where Arab, Indian and Jewish trading communities once lived

our ancestors were rageedi. shame on new isaaq instead of building our rich empire we are taking in fufu refugees.

Out-of-work members of the Somaliland Seaman's Union gather at Berbera's docks to try and get hired. They complain they are not getting paid equal wages. They earn about $250 (£160) a month - far less than foreign workers - because they don't belong to an internationally recognised organisation.

One way to while away the hours is to chew the mild stimulant khat, something an estimated 90% Somaliland men do.

Some propose using the undiscovered beaches to attract tourists. But Georgina Jamieson with UK-based tourism consultancy service Dunira Strategy says there is not enough infrastructure. "Though that is part of the beauty; it is very untouched. Some say it is like what Egypt looked like prior to its tourist boom."

90 percent of people chew. Thats 9 out of every ten male there. Wtf no wonder the place is a dump. Selling camels & goats is the only source of income in 2015! When have the longest coastline in africa. Somalis are f-king nomads.

A larger port in neighbouring Djibouti now dominates regional commerce, leaving Berbera's role far diminished.

the heart of the old town, its small fishing harbour is strewn with broken boats while half-sunken ships testify to diminished fortunes.

Little activity, if any, stirs Berbera's fish shops. Many young workers head to the perceived bright lights of the capital, Hargeisa, for work, as 75% of Somaliland's workforce are jobless.
