N.O.R.F Posted February 13, 2007 Your never too old to travel. You can be too Somali to travel but never too old. Forget about Africa and go to Cairo (yes i know it in Africa), Jordan, Syria etc. Why do want to see baboons and Giraffs when you can see history?

Som@li Posted February 13, 2007 ^I thought Dubai was in your list. The truth Somalia is a BIG dissappointment, It is at the bottom in the world,in terms of development. Only those few who enjoy the life, are the business people and mainly the corrupt officials! BUT we have to face it and do something abt it!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted February 13, 2007 ^^IT is too hot and expensive there, was looking at the prices yesterday. I can't make up my mind if i should get a years return ticket or just get one way. I'll only come to to Dubai is i do that business, china, somalia thing . You guys are too lazy and slow! gosh :rolleyes: laid back is not even the word Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu-Salman Posted February 13, 2007 Personally, We used to live in Hargeysa during summer vacations; I still have vivid memories of my first summer there in 86 as a 2 and half years baby when the Somali army fanfare paraded weekly ("baamboy") and how we enjoyed putting little "tusbaale" on a "qodax" spit, playing with the cousins, the family spirit (all united under the same house) ect. Likewise the other summers, apart from some chilling stories; in fact, the vast spaces, greeneries, the abundance of unexplosed ammunitions and weapons, the MIGs/technicals at the airport were all the more exciting. I still have most idyllic images in mind and preferred the place to extremely hot, desertic Djibouti but we had to leave for school, work ect. Economically, you can have a top lifestyle for a few hundreds dollars there, so I don't understand why anyone would prefer spend his money in any other African State just to get that, especially when it's so badly needed at home. At any rate, there are plenty investments opportunities over there and land prices are soaring although this bubble is economically counterproductive and speculation is not only destructive but also un-islamic; the construction sector is also booming though there are more ethical/productive investments ect. The only limiting factors are, in fact, imputable to corruption/mismanagement as politicians feel free to squander the meagre resources provided they maintain our "sovereignity within the British colonial borders", though Sool & Sanaag are partly under Puntland administration despite the fact that the army absorb 3/4 of the budget(the notoriously mismanaged Berbera port income has not even contributed to its upgrading, let alone to national Education & Health efforts). Really sad Indeed, when Somaliland have largely the capacity to be self-sufficient and even to export (for instance food products consumed in Djibouti are imported from Ethiopia rather than "Somaliland", the Arab states boycotted livestock export due to the unconditional secessionism ect)...

N.O.R.F Posted February 14, 2007 Jay is one of the nomads who recently went home for a while. He traveled quite abit but is refusing to post his pics (stubborn Hargaisawi).
