The technical feasibility study of Maydh port has been completed by a French private company that Somaliland Development Fund SDF has contracted.

what is the point of building a new Port between Berbera and Bossaso? why not upgrade the Berbera port instead? what region it will serve?

[Saalax]

Berbera is too far and there is no direct paved roads between

the harsh mountainous terrain of Sanaag and Berbera known

as the "Guban". This port will serve Sanaag and Sool regions.

[Miyir]

more like starting a building from the roof.

 

1- first the port will need a good road system to function.

2- small population in that area.

3- unable to compete the established and well connected ports like Bossaso and Berbera.

 

another sub-clan rivalry

 

[Che -Guevara]

Sanaag needs roads and perhaps an airport. In terms of commercial ports, Berbera and Bosaso should suffice.

 

Maydh can perhaps be developed fishing port.

[Saalax]

Miyir Let me correct you.

 

 

1. The road linking Ceerigaabo and Maydh is already being built.

 

 

2. Maydh port is very close to Ceerigaabo district which

has over 110,000 population that is more than the entire

Sahil region, when you include the rest of Sanaag and Sool

it is around over 500,000 people. The distance between Maydh

and Ceerigaabo is a mere 60 km.

 

 

3. The area will attract many business people once the port

is built and Maydh itself will become as large as Ceerigaabo.

 

 

 

Those are the facts. The port won't lack population to serve or

infrastructure once it is running.

What Sanaag needs is a port and airports that can generate

revenue, that way in the future it can fund its own road projects.

[Saalax]

Berbera without investments from foreign countries in the past

would have been nothing without it. It doesn't possess any large

population at all. Ceerigaabo district which the coast is also a

extension of it has nearly double the population of Sahil region

and it also has bigger population than the entire Gabiley region.

So lets put the myth that Maydh doesn't have population to rest,

since the same community that dominates Ceerigaabo also

lives in the coast they won't be short of any "human resources".

 

 

UNDP 2005

 

Ceerigaabo district = 114,845

 

Berbera district aka Sahil =60,753
