Fire breaks out in Downtown Hargeysa

[Dooyo]

 

[Sa7rawy]

You can't believe the destruction, mayhem, and the general eerie sadness of the city's atmosphere.

Yes, I'm in New Hargeisa and the smoke reached here too. Sad day for the city....but opportunity to clear that area and move the suuq somewhere else. It was a disaster waiting to happen. The Mayor tried to do something but faced resistance...

If you go downtown again I can join you.

AUN I pray for all the people affected

Somalia or Somaliland?

Same thing.

 

[Abdisamad]

Same thing.

How's the electrical safety on the buildings, do they install in accordance with safety procedures or do everyone just install their own installation without regard to safety etc? Maybe this fire was started as an electrical short circuit?

Bro I have no idea about that place. Maybe someone who lives or went there can answer.

It really was a disaster waiting to happen, we are thick headed people, no amount of warning is enough for our people. Thanks for the offer but I am way too tired to both mentally and physically to go there now. It's just too sad.

Lessons learned from this fire will be useful in the long run. It will be viewed as the blessing that brought on the catalyst of change. Like the Great fire of London.

Subhanallah, may Allah help those in need

Calamity strikes when you least expect it to, I hope our fellow Somalis & brothers in Islam find comfort from their troubles.

So what is the situation there? How much damage did the fire cause? Have you heard from the mayor regarding rebuilding efforts?

Divine justice

On unhuman treatment and hijack reer Digil iyo miriif shops in the middle of night. Maybe they will be happy but at the end both sides Somalis and we wish isaaq hate to other Somalis to be over.

 

[FBIsomalia]

Even tho I don’t agree with isaaqs on political matters, this is just low sxb, vast majority of the people affected by this calamity are ordinary people just tryna make a living.

What about digil and miriif business in lasscanood and how been treated after 15 years they worked hard to be later kicked and treated like goat!!.
