Congratulations Reer Hargeisa/Somaliland...year after this event just gets bigger and better masha Allah. I might go to next year's one just to get a collection of book in Af Soomaali, so far HIBF is only time books in our language can be bought, sold, discussed and presented. I heard that a library was going to built in Hargeisa, a big one. Do you know if that's true? How far from completion it is?

plus most Somali Authors are there. So people can ask about their books directly. I think the library construction will take about few more months if not a year. the construction has started already in December last year.

That's the best part, launching their books back home first. So the construction is already underway, masha Allah...that means that it might be ready for next year's event.
