It's a diaspora owned real estate company, with foreign construction workers, they are using new kind of equipments and materials mostly coming from Turkey and China.

Kingwaslaawi that looks pretty decent. Burco looks very nice it's growing it's being build left and right.

Looks ugly. They are following US cheap homes for the poor. Honestly looks like trailer house for poor white people or Native American reservation homes. Whether Somalia or Somaliland, Somalia needs an architectural revolution.

His Oxcellency agrees!!!

Land is getting expensive. Once you build a home you have 2 choices. Either let family stay there or build them another. This looks to be a more viable option.

i believe the govt should as a test trial own all land in both hargeisa and maybe one more city. then they should build affordable blocks of nationalized flats for the poorest to live

It looks cheap our old way is better. Less stoned buildings are nothing in somaliland.

let us have a land and housing policy like in singapore

How can that be achieved in a country where over 90% of the land is owned privately?
It may require highly resourcefull and revolutionary leadership!

plan b to implement my plan is to build a brand new and clan-neutral city to be the largest city like NYC

This is what I don't get. The entire country is rocks, stones, minerals, mud and clay. Yet we're wasting what little money we have on importi materials.

Liquid I have been in Somaliland for nearly 5 years now the people here import is what they know local.production mass production manufacturing they are terrified.. The country has allot of resources and the govt doesn't stimulate this. The New govt is going to tax imports though if something is locally produced.

The material is not the issue but the design.

What an ugly house with useless outdoor area. Reminds me of barbecue sheds in Australian parks.

If they built a double storey house with this materials it would be something.

Australian house with more or less using same material
