Hargeisa, Somalia:: Somalia's Second Largest Capital

[K.O.W]

Somalia's second largest city after Mogadishu. This is where NASAHABLOOD is located, Somalia's funniest comedians came from! This is the city where Somalia's flag was first raised, the FIRST Somali Flag of Independence after 200 years of Colonial rule was raised in Hargeisa, Somalia.

The British have been in Hergeisa from 1820 till 1960, and from 1960-2012, they have been involved with the Hergeisa tribe in different ways, may it be financially, In-Law marriage lol, or even secret political formations!

I don't differentiate between British and Italians. They're the same thing to me. Technically, the Colonial powers NEVER left Somalia, or Africa in general.

The British landed on the Shores of Somalia way before the 19th century. Some say, they were in Djibouti and Berbera in the 1750s, but for fact, the British were in Hargeisa in the 1820s.

The Britts signed some treaties with the Mullahs in berbera 1827 because Berbera nomads attacked a ship belonging to the crown. But there were no brits in Somaliland at that time.

There was, but it had a different name. Actually, before 1800s, the area which is now called Hergeisa was settled by the clan of Qabridahar and Dhagaxbuur. They lived as far as Berbera with Reer Khaatumo.

 

When the British and French came, they signed treaties with the Mountain Dwellers (The clan that settle Hergeisa/Burco today) and the Mountain Dwellers requested the Colonials to help them expand!
