Baydhaba: the next population hub & potentially the largest

Recommended Posts

Illyria   

With this plan coupled with its natural habitat, if implemented and managed correctly, with stability, and under the right leadership, and  with an estimated 600,000 +/- IDPs, mostly of farming and rural background, the city and region could realise steady growth and development where Baydhaba could potentially be the next largest population hub in Somalia.

City-wide plan: development framework, p.102

The Strategy was developed under the Saameynta (Impact in Somali) Programme, is a multi-year project aimed at promoting the sustainable integration of displaced communities in urban areas by empowering governments to leverage value generated by urbanization. Saameynta is a partnership of IOM, UNDP, UN-Habitat, supported and coordinated by the Integrated Office of the UN DSRSG/ RC/HC and endorsed by the Ministry of Planning, Investment and Economic Development of the Federal Republic of Somalia.

It is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the Netherlands and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

Baydhabo shalay ayaa ka soo noqday after six days. I also spent six days in Baydhabo on last month. First time since January, 1991, after Xamar ka qaxnay.

Horumarkeeda iyo horumarka socdo caadi ma'aha. Great roads, huge new buildings, businesses and homes. New airport terminal is under construction as well. The main avenue that goes to Xamar, its construction will start next month as I was told. That will be a game changer since this road is the heart of the city.

It also has the largest garden park in Soomaaliya, Beerta Baydhabo (Baydhabo City Park). It took me more than half an hour to explore it around. I was told the guy who built it spent a couple million dollars to invest. It was worth it.

Muuqaalo 15 daqiiqo ah ka duubay, laakiin sawirro yar aniga ka muuqdo waaka qaaday. Google sawiradaan ka keenay. These photos were taken a couple years ago, so the plants and dhirta are much more thicker, taller and lushy now.

Waa runtaada, waa caro gaduudan. What I also realized is that Xamar wey ka geedo badantahay, old geedo talaal iyo kuwa kale Talyaaniga beeray ayaa ku yaalo wali laamiga hareerihiisa. Xamar kuwii ku yaalay kuwa badan ah waaala gooye si sar loogu dhiso, kuwa xabad iyo madfac dishay ama daad qaaday waaye.

Dhir aad badan fresh ahna waaku arkaaye suuqa Baydhabo.

Its dhul also has a lot of limestone, too. It is cheap, hence many roads have interlocked limestone cobblestones.

No wonder Siyaad Barre's second villa after Filla Soomaaliya was located on this circled spot, facing Gerbooda waterfalls. Very greenery. Markee Xamar kululaato ayuu inta imaan jiray la yiri since Baydhabo is relatively cooler than Muqdisho.

Geedo aad u dhaadheer - sida baxarasaafka iyo qumbaha - waa weyn ku yaalo. I wish I took photos instead of videos; these images are the screenshots of a video.
