Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted November 4, 2004 Salaan... Folks, what's the sudden fascination with Buur Hakabe? Wah. Oh, perhaps, I guess it was all about that song by Xasan Aadan Samatar: Hakaba banaanshee Buurtoo ki taaloo Banooda le eree Balantayni haaytee Baabuur ma raa'aaw Eey iila buubee Eey iila buubee Libaax, Buur Hakabe xaa iga galay, widaay. Anu Nugaal ki kooye, i weydii meeshaas. LOL. Buur Hakaba (hakab stands for an old word denoting something that is both qadiim and qiimo leh, or in other word "treasure") is one of the oldest inland Southern towns of the country. Anyway, here are some pictures: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coloow Posted November 4, 2004 Buurhakaba is the name of the three hills in the town of Buur. The area is also home to Buur eeyle and Buur haybe. The town of Buurhakaba is strategically located between Baydhabo and Daafeed. Between baydhabo (maanya fuulka) and Buur town, there is the breadbasket of somalia. In this area, they grow maize and millet. The mountains of Buurhaybe and Buur eyle contain Uranium reserves (probably the largest in africa) but not exploited.

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted November 4, 2004 Salaan... Nationalist, saxiiboow, they are not mine. They are found on the net, if you try, you can as well. I've saved them on my PC, and if you still want to see some more, I'm obliged then. These are from Buur and its surroundings. Also from other towns that I found in same website.

raula Posted November 4, 2004 Mansha-allah..absolutely breathtaking. I've got family members who currently reside in GEDO region(especially, GARBAHARREY, BELED-XAAWO etc). MMA, mucho grasias for the LUUQ pictures(<--very special place to me ). GARBAHARREY-pictures remind me of XAMUR(sweet/sour red fruits), saar(as in the traditional dances)(ar gobillow gobillow, ar gobilow gacalkiyo,markan gobila tumaa...... ) I used to listen to DALLAY'S(somali atirishe (actress) who hailed from Garbaharey-e.g. in the film cilmi iyo caado[acts as the famous witch doctor=ARLLIYO ])geeraar iyo gabayo..about the riches of GEDO REGION. LONG LIVE GEDO (although such gabayo ofcourse were SKEWED since they were part in praise of the past regime). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
