Yeah bc it's hargeysa innit?
The First 5 star International Hotel Brand to Open in Somaliland/Somalia✨
- Thread starter moosaid
- Start date
Who is even booking these hotels there can’t be that many diaspora and foreign diplomats booking this to make it profitable
You'd be surprised.
You’re arguing a different point but no one said this was a bad thing. And a lack of 5-star hotels ≠ lack of good quality, respectable hotels.
There is also no standardized definition of a what a 5-star hotel is. Nor is there a singular certifying body that is recognized globally for enforcing these standards.
Very much giving 5 star https://x.com/premo416/status/1959004427295076697?s=46
That is a false meme. It is not true at all. They are carrying out many major city specific infrastructure projects across the country roads, bridges, power grids, drainage systems, water supply, and housing. That has been the main focus of development.
Take Hargeisa as an example, since this discussion is about Somaliland. These are the projects currently underway:
Projects Hargeisa Local Governament
hargeisamunicipality.com
I have also covered some of the past developments in another thread:
Hargeisa, for example, completed 21 roads in just 17 months:
Somaliland: Hargeisa municipality has completed 21 roads within 17 months - SomalilandCurrent.com
By M.A. Egge The initiative of the Mayor of the capital city of Hargeisa Cllr. Abdikarim Ahmed Mooge and the efforts exerted by the town hall are unprecedented as far as infrastructure is concerned. Their palpable services are felt and are largescale beyond the historic road works. The local...www.somalilandcurrent.com
In that 21 roads completion link I shared earlier, what really shocked some people was just how much internal capital exists in the city that could be mobilized for development.
They even installed traffic lights at major road junctions:
Somaliland: Mayor of Hargeisa inaugurates city traffic lights installation - SomalilandCurrent.com
The Mayor of Hargeisa Cllr. Abdikarim Ahmed Mooge, inaugurated the first phase of direly needed installations of traffic lights in major busy street junctions, on the road connecting the CID headquarters, the first bridge and the lower market. Mayor Abdikarim likewise announced that a review...
They’re installed at major, busy street junctions and many of them are paved concrete or asphalt roads, not dirt roads. The purpose is to reduce traffic congestion and bring order. They even introduced proper road-lane systems and traffic directions.
How is that money laundering when the funding came directly from the community that requested it? And it was implemented by a local company.
The upgrades are clearly visible , you can now see marked lanes and better-organized streets.
There is a wide range of work ongoing, including new footpaths, urban dams, bridges, and public parks
Somebody really needs to study the fixation people have with “short-changing” developments/building in Somalia into hotels in so many threads. Typically, there is only one hotel in a given area, and if more are built, it’s simply to expand accommodation because cities are growing fast you can’t fit everyone into a single building that don't have enough and are not tailored for specific services. Also, these hotels are not constructed by the local municipality or government. I don't know how you compared hotel building to city planning.
If you follow various engineer/architect accounts and construction or real estate companies, you’ll see that the buildings being constructed are very diverse: offices, company headquarters, schools, hospitals, marketplaces, apartments, houses, government buildings, business premises, mosques, and more. Following technician pages many of which deal with installing solar panels, gives you a cool overview of ongoing projects.
For example, they rebuilt and upgraded Waheen Market, the largest market in Hargeisa:
They also recently built a large Technical Institute in Hargeisa:

People on forums like this or reddit or much of the internet aren't serious people. Just folks looking to back up their biases with like one tweet about a hotel or something. No serious or rigorous research has been done in any direction.
I think people get this false idea because the economy is growing but the infrastructure isnt improving as much, even the roads you showed after being paved look very pathetic with mud as sidewalks and jiingad on the sides
The dawlads are too poor compared to the country's economy so cant provide services or invest in big infrastructure projects
They don’t look pathetic at all. The videos show them under construction, which is why there’s rubble and dirt around.
The infrastructure is improving significantly and expanding. In this video, you can see there is no mud, but instead the deep pits that have been dug along the sidewalks. These will be filled to build pedestrian footpaths, with greenery and trees planted along the middle that divides it. You can also see the roadwork equipment positioned in the middle, used to smooth the surface. And a middle circular round about that is still under construction as well
He also attended the opening of a water expansion project in Berbera just this week:
That’s what Somali regional leaders do, they attend various project openings. Even the large, modernized Technical/Vocational School I mentioned earlier was inaugurated by the previous president at the end of last year:
You can see them attending openings of hospitals, schools, businesses, and infrastructure projects regularly. Cirro also recently visited a coast guard equipment upgrade.
This is here is from 3 days ago:
But you clearly don’t see any of this because you are too busy misrepresenting what is actually happening and acting like a disgruntled troll.

yeah the demand must be crazy for them to be building these.
We need one like this by the beaches soon

They should channel their hotel fixation into something useful by actually visiting these hotels. Maybe they can write a review of the service and report back. People would probably be more interested in that.
I think it's a feature of these message boards/forums and social media. It's like how 4chan and others evolved. Comes back to what that Psychologist you showed me explained.
Then there are actual pockets on the web that engage in research sharing and honest discussions, but they are becoming increasingly drowned out.
