Good question lol

All I know is that the pictures were taken before the Italians built any buildings in the Benaadir coast

We should return to those architecture types instead of the ugly ass buildings we have in modern day Hargeisa/Muqdisho/other major cities. I have a picture of Berbera back in 1896 I'll try finding it.


Edit: found it.

I don't necessarily mind Italians but they helped make Mogodishu a desireable place, they built most of the stuff there.

I know, who thought it was a great idea to make the houses colourful? Why not stick to modern. Wallah, these houses look like it was designed by a 5 yr old.

Modern has no culture.

Cultural looking houses attracts tourism.

It's ugly, you don't see countries like Dubai having colorful houses, every building sticks to 1 color. I love my city (Mogodishu) and country, somalia ha noo laato but these buildings gots to go A.S.A.P.

Seems like the population of these towns was under 15k pre colonialism

Shut up fuutada uu sheeg.

Look at Turkey and Morroco and Egypt.

You get that cultural vibe.

Look at this tourist interested in Italian architecture in Eritrea.


Dubai is a shit comaprison. Before the oil boom they were a Arab festering shithole but still had culture resonating in it.

Modern buildings abstain from culture.

Look at hotel Al-Uruba which had this Italo-Somali touch to it.

the first one looks boring they should have at least mixed the design with local architecture
