Oh suldaanka,
I forgot to respond your first statement about crossing the border.
Actually the Wajaale -Jigjiga high way is the busiest and fastest road to reach both Borama and Hargeisa. In fact, the Somali zone can't even exist without the trade with Wajaale.
I had a short time and going Borama and Hargeisa was difficult. You can't meet your family and friends with just few days. It would have broken my heart for meeting people very short time and leave .
I heard the road between Borama-Hargeisa is faster and people come from Hargeisa for the weekends. Also , there are too many high rise buildings taking shape in Borama. I can assure you that I will be traveling home more from now on.
