I visited burco and hargeisa on my fathers deathbed, people from burco where nice but i got the "strangers look", and some man in his 40's completly lost his mind when i spoke some english. But the people in hargeisa were more cool but we were seen as foreign to some extent. My somali at the time didn't help either. The first question strangers had was "dhaqan celis"

Even myself I think hargeisa was alright. But as soon as you leave the city, you get harassed on the check points. If you don't kniw the language they start to take the piss as they will make you seem like your Oromo lol.
Haven't been buroa but I been wajale. People their looked like they never seen qurbo joog in 2 years

I swear one of those officers pointet the ak at me as a joke, and i almost got an heart attack. And tbh i had to walk around with hobo clothes to blend in burco, because people there were wilding compared to hargeisa where people frequently see somalis from the diaspora.

In burco there was some kids that three insults at my sister for some reason, i had to talk to them to find out why. But when i got closer, one of those midgets took out a long ass knife out of nowhere. Luckily my cusin was an officer and nobody fucked around with him, so they just took off when he came.
Man I didn't know buroa was like that I probably wouldn't mind it. Hargeisa is too much suuq for me, I prefer more chilled envirments. I actually enjoyed speaking to locals, chewing khat and travelling. I used to catch qurbo joog mainly in hotels and restaurants. But i wanted to. Experience the typical faraxs life. But talking too them they would constantly treat me different as I was qurbo joog. You a chick btw?
Yeah I think that is the most important thing. My Somali is mediocre and it improved just from listening and talking. Even picked up some of their slang

Yes. I understand you. It is a good environment for authentic somali people. I mean even the way they fight is different. They don't throw hands, but they have this weird way of wrestling that stuck in my head ever since. And weird grey cows that walks randomly in the suuq without a care, but always goes home on curfew. It's like the whole place is stuck in time and the people are a bit agressive but very welcoming at the same time. And all the girls eyeing me, but i never made any advance because i wanted no stress from the locals. But for the most part, i had a big family there, so i didn't need to converse with people outside that much. But the funniest thing was that they had this red fanta that tasted like carbonated vimto. It was clearly fake but it tasted great imo. And i actually think that the people there are a bit different because of the one road and thus don't get much influnce from other people. I was there in 2013, maybe things have changed since then. And im a dude btw

I don't think all see us like that. When I went to Xamar my neighbours were nice/respectful
I've heard from reer buroa, people there are quit religious and still traditional. It's home to the Somali language, and the home of haaji farax omaar or sheekh bashiir if I'm not wrong. They are SL heroes that fought against British colianilsm in the early days.
The city is very signicant to SL even in historically.
Lol about the Fanta, I'll call their sugar drinks diabetes. Not gonna lie its nice but it gives people the worst dhuuso ..but I know what you mean. I had that in wajale. The people are watching you from a mile away.
They even went as far as calling me brave for going to these cities on my own.

Lol Murusade don't get along with abgaal if I'm not wrong. My abgaal friend told. Me the abgaal are known for dominating the rest of Hawiye girls

I ain't Abgaal, i'm HG and we run this Gartay, but is it true abgaal are known for stealing women in a time of war. Walahi in his words.. Were not known for wealth, land or fighting.. Were known for getting the pumpum 
My ex was HG....we never brought up qabiil. Think she mentioned being related to aideed

Yes, it is actually known for it's poets like hadrawi too. Something you will notice is that people have brown teeth from the tap water they drink in burco. But you know it was many small villages on the road to berbera and and hargeisa. I remember my brother said that they didn't exist 10 years earlier, which lead him to believe that people are settling in new places and making many babies and thus creating villages at a fast rate. We had to throw out bottles of water for the sheperds and people that were walking on foot along the road in the desert. And you could see many wild camels everywhere, but you have to be careful not to stand behind them. A place named Sheikh was very beautiful on top of a hill somewhere, i have to buy land there and build something like a vacation house. The land is untouched and i bet it will become more valuable in the future when waves of diaspora moves back or when the locals earn more money. Btw, berbera had the best fish i've ever tasted, but i didn't see any people outside, i think because of the heat. Hargeisa is cool compared to burco and berbera. Burcos sun is strong, but berbera's heat is actually the worst compared to both.
And yes you are a bit brave for doing that on your own
Yes hadrawi is from burco. ilka case your right is from their source of water. Even hargeisa people had it, its from the chemicals in the tap water. Its got too much fluoride or something and it's not properly filtered. The water is quit poor back home.
Those rural cities are gonna grow quit fast. My family are orginally from those rural cities just outside of hargeisa, what ones was a miyii. But now their slowly turning into cities. If your to invest in land those areas are ideal. Land is still fairly decent price and its bit more rural then hargeisa.
But its going to expand. Can you imagine the last time I came hargeisa 04. It was literally few houses were my family stayed. When I returned its the busiest suuq and land is the highest its been.
