I'm starting to wish that Puntites invested in one or two cities together, instead of every clan pouring wealth into clan villages. For instance, our ancient coastal towns such as Caluula, Xaafuun etc, haven't been profitable since the time of the Cape of Spices when they were prominent trade centres.
I'm not an economist but I think we'd do better with having one/two cities with a large population to boost our economy further.
What say you @DR OSMAN
Every clan wants to have a large city of its own. When Reer Bicidyahan began to move back into Mudug, they could have moved into Galkacyo instead of building Cagaaran, but they chose not to. Same for the Reer Khalaf who chose to move into what was then the tiny village of Bursaalax. Same for the Leelkase in Galdogob.
Clans want to have an urban center that is exclusive to them. It is a problem that robs the cities of growth and dynamism.
