They put in work when they saw us just like sissoko

Masha'Allah this is great. This shows, the blood and sweat, Puntlanders have gone through, to make PL, what it is today. The work ethic that PROPER Puntlanders (MJ, Leelkase, and Carab Salah) have plays a key role in the prosperity and growth Puntland. You see, while others boast about how 'barwaqo' their gobols are, and how tall the grass grows (What are they gonna do? Eat the grass like cattle), Puntite children will receive the best education in the country, our economy will continue to rise, our own soldiers and maritimeforce will continue to protect our lands andseas, from all types of threats. Life is great.

Mashallah, so quick Inshallah it all works out. Good to see Somalis serious about developing their gobols.

Any updates on the garacad port? Have they started construction? And how is development in garacad as a whole?

 

[Farm]

Construction began back in August I believe and it’s being done by a Turkish construction company. The project is estimated to take about 2 years.

When this port is finished inshallah, do you think garacad could become the economic hub of Puntland after Bosaso in the future?

Yes, Garacad is planned to be vital to PL. With Somali Galbeed it could overtake Bosaso who knows, but I do believe it’ll become the de facto capital of Mudug surpassing Gaalkacyo.

Has the Hobyo dispute been settled?

 

[Farm]

Hobyo isn’t relevant, the area is near al Shabab controlled territory and they reportedly recently stopped the road construction and Hobyo isn’t a natural port physically (there was an interesting paper on this). Garacad has no competition and will take PL to the next level.

Then shouldn’t we invest in the development and infrastructure of garacad right now because from I know garacad right now is a very small

It is small, but lots of people are going to be investing soon/are. It’ll go from village status to city like Garowe very quickly, I think as we get closer to launch of the port we will see big differences.

 

[Bobthebuilder]

If it can reach Garowe’s level of infrastructure in 5 years after the port is finished then alhamdulillah we are surely blessed.

@SuldaankaDadka @Khalaf Hobyo can’t be a port because it sits on a aeolian depression, Hafun in Bari suffers from the same problem.

What about Ely?

What about Ely?

I don’t see why it can’t, although I don’t think a port will be built there anytime soon.
