Khubaro Caalamiya Oo Dhisaya Wadooyinka Caasimada Somaliland.

Looks good wadada madaxtooyada is being cleaned.

What is done with the lime rocks in the road?

[Saalax]

That is the rocks used to reconstruct the road before putting asphalt over them to pave the road.

[SomaliPhilosopher]

So the natural rocks that are in the ground are removed and are later used to create the roads? Is that correct?

[Saalax]

It depends, some are reshaped and used for that purpose while new ones are imported from other

areas. Not necessary the same location.

[SomaliPhilosopher]

Interesting. What is the general rights over such rocks? As a local can you simply remove the rocks and claim it as your own?

[Saalax]

You can't claim the contents of public land in the middle of the city which you don't own. It is off limits,

However aside from your own plot of land/house there is a different rule in the countryside, if your

particular group resides in a certain area and there is no individual/family to contest it, it is yours.

[Chimera]

Come on people, why walk carelessly upon a recently resurfaced road as if a wedding party is being held right then and there? In a European climate everything is sealed off for a day, in the hot Somali climate you at least need two days for the surface to set in and harden. I understand that these roads are vital economic arteries, but come on, do it right and it will last longer.

Do these rocks have any financial value to them at this point?

[Saalax]

Yes they do along with the precious rocks such as Emeralds, Berylliums etc which are in abundance in

Somaliland.

[SomaliPhilosopher]

Ok. Thanks for answering my questions saalax

[SomaliPhilosopher]

It would be nice if you can make a thread educating us about Somallilands rocks

War Saalaxo, always taking jabs at your konfurian brothers eh? You know I was in Hargeisa and berbera not too long ago. An elder told me "this is your country too", very touching moment
