It is not Qatar, UAE or China building this port.
It is local business people building a modern port. This is a great achievement by Somali standard. It exactly looked the modern port of Djibouti, especially the Doraleh oil terminal.
Furthermore, unlike Berbera and Bosaso, this town has a moderate mild temperature similar to Mogadishu or Hargeisa. The local business people who are building the port had also proclaimed that Garacad is open for every Somali regardless of their home region. Land permits are halted until urban planning is organized.
Folks, this could be a new model to flow.
Some of us were trying for ten years to build small fishing and minor " Bagaash" port in Lughaya with no avail. Since there are no UAE restrictions, the people of Puntland are building things with freedom.
