Historical Hobyo might be doomed by dunes

[Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar]

Bacaad ayaa duugi doono magaaladii qadiimiga ahayd ee Hobyo. Very sad.

Meel dowlad awood leh isku filan ka jirin, sida dalkeena, dhibkaan ayee leedahay. It reminded the famous iskaa wax u qabo of bacaadcelintii Shalambood in 1970s. Dowladaaa dhexe saved deegaanka Shalambood in Shabeellaha Hoose by planting trees in the advancing dunes.

Reer Hobyo, geeda talaala, watch this video:

Bio-engineering is most effective against sand dunes and other forms of soil and coastal erosion. Unfortunately many coastal cities have been lost partly due to sand dunes such as Bulahaar.
