In case of an external invasion , you have time to protect your capital from attacks. If your capital is located at coastline , it may get surrendered easily.

No country has their capital on the coast,humans learned this valueble lesson during the 15th century pirate era,The capital should not be mogadishu
Sparta?
Ottomans and Byzantines?
Edinburgh?
Do major rivers, and body of waters, not count as such?

All these countries above have a coastal capital.
Itβs just that the majority of the world doesnβt.
Itβs not bad, but in Somaliaβs case coastal capital is not a good idea. Especially in this new federal Somalia.
My pick would be Galkacyo that is currently divided by 2 states for the FGS to take over both sides and make it a capital.

If you donβt want a coastal capital that eliminates:
- Mogadishu
- Bosaaso
- Berbera
Iβd assume you donβt want a capital near a neighboring country too, that eliminates:
- Gaalkacyo
- Boorama
- Kismaayo
You can eliminate a lot of big Somali cities when you apply these type of rules. Anyway, I think Xamar ought to remain the capital of Somalia.

Our capital being on the ocean is good for now since our main enemy is usually Ethiopia. The further from Ethiopian controlled the better.

Yes the majority of the world doesnβt have a coastal capital but most of the world arenβt a coastal country.
Xamar is perfect imo as a capital city as itβll in the long term become a major tourist hub for us. Coastal cities are by far the most beautiful
