Elevator Somalia ever had or has was just opened in Hargeisa. It's at the new Dahabshiil building. That folks, indeed is a terrible acknowledgement. We are indeed at the bottom. We talking elevators in Somalia in 2014 !

I'm surprised Mogadishu didn't beat Hargeisa to it. I've never been there but from what I've heard and seen in photos, there seems to be a lot of development and I would have thought they'd have a high story building by now. I think the Dahabshiil building is only 7 floors, so we're not talking skyscrapers here lol.

Well it's just 7 floors but it cost them $12m...that's the most expensive tower in all of Somalia ( not all the Somali speaking regions tho ..bc...that's goes to the Rapinski hotel in Djabouti )

I heard it took nearly a decade to build it.

Hey we are starting from the bottom soon enough will be on top lmao.

[Holac]

^^ It is a race to the bottom. lol

As bleak as this sounds, it's a stark misrepresentation of the current developments ongoing in Somalia and the capabilities of native Somalis.

1. You only need elevators for very tall buildings and there are not many in Somalia and 2. Somalis (from Somalia) in East Africa own very nice hotels and buildings fitted with both elevators and escalators.
