Puntland's major cities in pictures

[Malika]

Che,I dreamt of nothing as a kid,but to see Xamer.My uncles and aunties used to work in the city,when they came back they usually were full of stories,it sounded so fabulous!!

 

Well,before I know it,xabaad kentiidi baa noguu soo dhushee and the dream is still lingering on in my heart..

 

Anyone has pictures of the Islands near the Somali coasts? [me looking for a getaway island],Xarfuun has some nice beaches,perhaps should invest there,but does one has to come from there?..bummer Somalis!! :mad: :mad:

Thanks k15, Some of the pictures look very recent did you took them. It i amazing the building boom still continues despite the poor economy.

Dig wells, make sure people have an access to clean water, build clinics for mothers and children, think out of the box and plant trees, erect solar panels and wind turbines. These villas you see are owned by corrupt government officials who steal people's wealth and if you look closely, they are not more than dozen brick-villas in the middle of such devastating poverty shanty towns and garbage-filled alleyways.

 

if you think that is progress, may God help us. Peace is progress, self reliance is progress, reversing the brain drain is progress, sustainable development is progress, educating the young is progress, primary schools are progress, libraries and resource centers, capacity building are progress, getting rid of corruption and bad governance are progress.

 

So focus on that and let us not boast on limited Land Cruisers and brick-Villas. We are all familiar with that. Don't let Somalia always be anarchic land and basket case that depend on donor's mercy. People wake up!

roads and landscape would make it look very decent.

 

Malika were you xabad keentay, mise xabad sugtay that came to pass?

Good Effort, but let's us not delude with a number of private buildings. The economic and health condition is much worse than some places in the south. Puntland needs a new direction, and that is restoring stability.

^The above messege is approved by 'Major Cabdillahi Ahmed for Puntland state President campaing'.

[Som@li]

Great pics,keep posting.

[Koora-Tuunshe]

Ceyroow, at least Puntland is a pro-union state unlike Somaliland. Do you truly believe that the unity of our people and country is the way forward?

[RedSea]

Keep your enemy inviting unionism, foxnews mentality else where. Not interested.

All the pictures are no older than a month, some even as the Gaalkacyo pics were taken last week.

The majority of the villas are owned by hard working locals, after that Diasporans. Government officials only maybe own 0.5% of all those villas.

what happened to erigabo, buhoodle, badhan and LasCaanod k15?

[K15]

The real Puntland (with actual Puntland police, army, authority and rule): Bari, Nugaal, Northern Mudug

 

Others are just claims.

[Suldaanka]

^ Ouch!

 

Nice pictures btw. How recent are they?

[Che -Guevara]

K15-Are you just off the reservation

 

P.S. Taking pics of brick house hardly denotes progress. Extreme corruption, insecurity and inflation become the hallmark of Puntland. So take sip out the reality cup.
