As a former resident of Galkacyo and the home of both sides of my family for over a century.
Galkacyo isn't pretty.
Garowe is a 1st world country compared to it.
I remember Galkacyo had two paved roads in 2015: Waddada Xero Dayax iyo Waddada Wadnaha.
Lots of roads have been paved since, for exampel Jaamac Biixi rd that goes from former Xero Daraawiish to Xero Siinaay, the road leading to the airport, and many other, smaller, roads. Better late than never.
