Dr_Osman Posted July 20, 2014 My god this mall looks wicked. This is got to be the best mall in the nation. What is happening over there in Hargeisa? I am seeing all these glass towers from government ministries to business offices and now malls. I think Hargeisa is by far got the best modern architecture in Somalia, runti wa wax lagu dayan karo. We really need to lift up our game in Puntland and stop these little buildings or the same old boring style architecture. We need to invest PROPERLY or go home and don't bother. We need to bring something that can match the modern styles in the nation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
