People in Puntland’s Easternmost Districts Address Infrastructure Disadvantages Through a Self-help Scheme

[Deeq A.]

Muudiye is a settlement in Gardafui. It is 300 KM to Bosaso, the commercial city of Puntland. It takes 10 hours to travel between Muudiye and Boosaso due to the layout of the unpaved road without uphills. The road from Alula to the countryside  ends at Hursalle.

The terrain between Hursalle and Muudiye is classified as plateau with three uphills. Hursale residents have begun a self-help scheme at a nearby uphill. Muudiye residents have added 25 KM to the gravel road. They aim is to work on  the remaining 20 KM to make it easy for drivers to travel on the gravel road.

No obstacle is too insurmountable

The main barrier that makes travelling between Aluula and Bosaso a difficult journey are two uphills over which cars and lorries cannot drive. Once those two uphills are either flattened or made less risky for drivers, travelling to Alula will be enjoyable and unlock economic opportunities of Bari region.

Such an initiative will have positive impact Haabbo, Mur’anyo and associated hamlets.
