Surprisingly Berbera has a lot of space. Maydh has the entire east of it to expand.

Somalia has extremely low population densities.

You have to drive for hours before you find the next major city. Very different from what I'm used in Europe where population density is ridiculously high.

That is because it is huge. The distance between Maydh and Ras Kamboni is like the distance between Toronto and Florida.

Interesting, Laas qoray can grow parallel to the coast, I'm planning to open a business there to rapidly increase other Somalis to immigrate.We should build a port to counter Bosasos growing influence, increase in ports allow a faster rate of imports and hence economic prosperity.

England population density 420.5/km2
Netherlands population density 413.1/km2
North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) pop density 520/km2

Somalia: 18/km2

Western Europe is overcrowded as f*ck, yet they keep importing refugees. Quite baffling.

Yep I was driving through Switzerland :whew:

Every 10 - 15 minutes you will pass by a city With 300k population.

Heck the 3rd biggest city is same size as muqdisho

They can afford it since they are wealthy and always building new high rise buildings.

Hong Kong 6,544/km2
Singapore 7,797/km2
Taiwan 650/km2
Honshu Japan 447/km2

^ Some East Asians outdo them in density.

I'd rather have max 100/km2 nation-wide. That's about the optimal number.

maybe Because Europeans have empathy ?
 
All of Somalis in the world (~20-25 Mil) could live comfortably in Mogadishu and Kismayo IF WE HAD SIMPLE PROPER MANAGEMENT. This is whats so frustrating we have been blessed by natural resources land and space but not by Human resources.
