Borama is in UAE 2005 while the rest of Somalia is still in Africa 1836.

Internal design of the residential houses in Borama . A huge step on urbanization but road infrastructure of the city is still poor

 

[TheAnswer]

Decent house by Somali standards, but Somali houses should just be plain white. The tacky colors and cheap decorations are completely unnecessary. Keep it minimalist.

This is a step up from the red, green, purple houses.

Do you know what is interesting? That MJ, the poorest of all Somali clans in terms of natural resources, have more large towns than any other subclan in Somalia. The only Somali clan that lives in a true desert is the one that has the most large towns by far. Not a tree in sight, but Galkacyo's economy is larger than that of green Borama.

Somali architectural aesthetics is awful.

The craftsmanship.



I hope it's hindis or Kenyattis who did that.

It looks ugly and I doubt the shower works. There's very little water. There's no sewage system either, it's just a hole in the ground. Imagine if the toilet collapses, I wouldn't.

We're one of the only countries in the world without a sewege system, even the bantu countries have it

The outskirts of north galkayo, garowe, badhan and qardho are all green areas and you wanna tell me that's a desert, and in terms of recourses u wanna tell me were poor, dude what planet are you living in.

Thanks to hg businessmen and women maybe but can't compare galkacayo a shared city to borama, compare it to garowe which is fully inhabited by mj and as you can see borama is much better economically.

Garowe was basically the same as Bocame 20 years ago, it has not always been how developed, it was MJ who built it out of nothing from scratch, however Borama has always been a prominient gadabursi city, they didn't build it from scratch it was always there.

Regarding Galkacyo, since Puntland and MJ businessmen control more than 70% of the Galkacyo economy, it is way way more economically significant than Borama, Galkacyo is the center point of trade and commerce in Somalia, it links Waqooyi Galbeed and Koonfur and Bari together. Also HGs live in a little tuulo in baraxaly a small part of Galkacyo and they don't produce much economic output in comparison

Anyways theres no comparison, Galkacyo is way more economically valuable

Garowe and Galkacyo combined smaller than Borama

Since there is still no recent population census on Somali cities we will have to refer back to 2005 census.

https://docs.unocha.org/sites/dms/Somalia/UNDP-POP-RURAL-URBAN 2005.pdf

Regions, districts, and their populations: Somalia 2005

Borama * 215,616
Garoowe * 57,991
Gaalkacyo * 137,667

So not only smaller in population but in surface too. I have checked both cities on Google Maps. Not even comparable.
