Somalia to demolish ruins for hotels?

[Zak12]

There are reports of historical sites being bought up to be used as spots for hotels.

Why do Somalis back home seem to have such little regard for historical sites? Xamar's beach is already full of hotels and apparently the private sector is involved with this land buying. Another example I could think of is Zeila's dilapidated state, why aren't their any community efforts to preserve Somalia's history?

Somalis will build 100 hotels and villa style houses before they think to build a road or a new sewage system.

Somalia could have one of the most iconic architectures of Africa if they modernised existing architecture and focused on rebuilding a few major cities first before expanding outwards. We could easily rival countries like Morroco.
