Xamar is alive and well, Xudunta Somalia waaye. Ive been too Garowe and other thsn Western style city planning and good hotels with roundabouts I found it extremely boring. No entertainment, no beach and everything is more fuckin expensive due to Bosaso port mismanagement and tax.Xamar is dead, it died during the hawiye chimpout of 1991
The whole city is the size of two Xamar districts. It gets boring quick, I stayed for a week before leaving.
Dont forget Bosaaso weather, good God you could not pay me to live in that oven.
