Currently which city is more developed hargeisa or muqdisho?

[Hotchick12]

reer Gada the tribe of the gala (Gada is a system of leadership in oromo) reer Galan the largest oromo tribe stretching from Walega Shewa Harar and Garamuleta/

You cannot be cisse and Oromo at the same time

 

[Hotchick12]

the reer galan of Djibouti claim the other reer galan are the lost brothers og from there the reer galan from Harar claim the Djibouti ones are og from Harar.


the reer galan elders from chirecha I met in dir Dhabi told me all I have to do when I go garamuleta or Harar is show then elders my hand they will immediately know I am there brother.
the Galan from chirecha told me the ones from welaga and shewa are og from Harar but Ahmed gragn took them there and they stayed there after gureys death. heck there is Oborra, Jaarso, Meta, Galan, Nolee inside the Shewa and walaga they are neglected by the tulama and maaca and are known as son of barents @Abba Sadacha a maaca would know more.

Oromo have nothing to do with Harla history they are newcomers

Simple answer is it’s up to where you’re from and where your family lives. If you’re from waqooyi (not just isaaq) you’re more likely to have relatives that live in Hargeisa. Vice versa if you’re from the south. If you have no family in either then Mogadishu is probably better as it’s a much more welcoming place to soomaaliweyn as a whole. My father’s side relocated to hargeisa during the Ethiopian invasion and weren’t able to live there for more than 2 years because of how hostile the locals were. The already higher prices at the market were jacked up x2 because of their accent and where they’re from. The reverse is unthinkable in Xamar. I’m visiting right now and one of my bajaaj drivers even had a somaliland flag waving from his car People don’t really care much (but that might change soon).

In terms of development I haven’t properly visited Hargeisa so I can’t say. They’ve had around 30 years of peace to begin rebuilding the city while Mogadishu has had less than 15. I’ve also heard that they now have a development oriented mayor which is nice. Mogadishu’s admin is pretty incompetent tbh but that’s how the system is currently designed sadly. Despite that, the city has improved massively in my 11 years away. With much more access to international funds I think Xamar will probably be a better city all around in about ten years.

When it comes to development then probably Mogadishu really

Boorama is a beautiful city and I have nothing but respect for the people of the region, who have shown us what Somalia can look like if we choose to invest in peace. In sha Allah I can visit the city one day.

 

[FBIsomalia]

Also which city would you prefer to live if you had to choose between hargeisa or muqdisho?

Bossaso.

 

[GALAN]

My goodness bro your brain hurts my brain. So speaking oromo makes you oromo? Lmaoo yo damn near all somalis living in Ethiopia close to oromo know the language bro. Like wow he spoke oromo were you shocked? Like cmon man all ogadens learned the language of their enemy within a split. Trust me its not hard

is this man trynna say obo and akisho are oromo lmao. Akisho are an subclan of the oborra and were mentioned in 16th century documents as oromos Obo assimilated into Ogaden is Alla subclan of the largest clan Arrodji they primarily live in the area between kebri Bayeh and mayuMuluke. both these groups are neglected by the somali and called Galakahreeyn, I mean bro if you can show me one mention of Ali madaxweyne being a real thing before 1900.

 

[GALAN]

what if I showed you multiple mention of oromos before the 16th century.

 

[Khaem]

Oromo were naked In northern Kenya until the end of Imam Ahmad's noble jihad to civilise thr Highlands.

Sadly he and his successor were too caught up in the northern front they neglected the hordes of barbarians southwards and during the reign of his nephew, Nur ibn Mujahid, the Galla hordes brome through and swarmed the Horn.

They destroyed cities all over Somaliweyn and broke peninsular trade routes that were vital for Somali civilisation. Instead of building something on top of the ruind the galla did nothing with tbe lands and the horn was sent into the dark ages for centuries until the mid 1800s but by that time It was too late and thr Europeans arrived.

Nur Ibn Mujahid AUN built the walls of Harar to keep galla tribesmen at bay which led to the formation of the harari as a distinct people from the wider Somali, they took on a semetic language due to the wave of pagan Argrobba refugees, fleeing from Amhara crusaders, who decended onto the lowlands and were converted to Islam by Imam Ahmad and came into the city.

I love me some good weather and Hargeysa has a beautiful weather; I heard Borama has even better weather.

Lkn nothing beats old Mogadishu; wish the beautiful white houses make a comeback.

 

[berberaboy66]

Hargeisa as I have family there. I like it too, it’s my type of city. Big and loud but doesn’t feel overcrowded. Bustling daytime markets but everyone’s inside by like 10 lol

In terms of Somaliweyn nothing beats xamar though.

 

[Arkan]

As someone who was born and raised in Hargeisa, it's most definitely Mogadishu. There's not even a shred of doubt.
