I wish Bayla had the same location as Garacad serving as a port to all ethiopian hartis/ogaden who have the most numerous livestock in ethiopian area, plus they graze around the middle of ogadeniya. Berbera is screwed because it has to compete with djibouti at all times to secure the jigjiga trade and now with djibouti securing the rail, I can't imagine SL can compete. Djibouti is going to own 80% of the trade with ethiopia.
Garacad is a settled matter, majority of nomads in ethiopia are of darod extraction so they won't use hawiye ports in the region even if they build one, just build the road from galdogob to garacad. They will come through galdogob and hit the high-way to Garacad to use the port.
I must admit though galmudug may be a threat if it builds the hobyo part and cuts the central trade from galkacyo notice the road they building is galkacyo to hobyo, they want to steer the hawiye traders away from Puntland Bosaso port, we must ensure this never happens because that's the only reason they are building hobyo port, it's not to secure DDSI because they didn't create a road into DDSI, they know this 90% darod area and nomads. We must not lose the key strategical central hawiye central regional trade, we already got the DDSI livestock on lock, we just need the infrastructure built.
Garacad will be the Bosaso of Mudug and over-take Galkacyo as all business men start building homes and businesses as the local population starts to soar like what happened in Bosaso.
