You’re judgement is clouded with emotion and kibiir.
Can you turn down your emotions and read what I just said again?
In 5 years investments will start pouring into Garcaad. People go where they are treated best and live safely. This isn’t your decision it’s the Puntland Market that will decide this. You can’t stop market forces.
Do you think Garcaad deal was just for votes?
Mudug will be restructured by the Markets will not the politicians. Galkcayo will turn into a buffer zone/Industrial Park not a city.
I remember 10 years ago we had a similar discussion to make Hobyo the centre, a fierce debate that still goes on until this very day, the stumbling block was similar to the one you are currently experiencing with your obtuse kinfolk on this very thread that have gone as far as to accuse you of being a sheegato.
Their peanut sized brains could not grasp simple economic concepts, multi-tribal cities like Gaalkacayo with constant conflicts is terrible for business, even the location and climate is terrible, it's almost impossible to get your own clan's men to seriously invest in it because of these bad clouds that hang over it
The benefits we have over the residents in Northern Gaalkacayo is that our home is also Mogadishu, which is were the bulk of our safe investments have been going the last few decades along with Afgooye
Hence the proposition for Gaalkacayo was to gradually turn it into a buffer zone while moving all the investments over to port city of Hobyo, this is already happening slowly after a decade of fierce fruitless debates, the first phase is the road construction, Gaalkacayo-Hobyo that is almost complete which was the biggest stumbling block, the second phase is the Hobyo-Mogadishu.
What's interesting is that unlike our sub-clan that calls several cities home including the mighty capital, the reer-mahad branch of Omar mahamoud heartland is just Northern Gaalkacayo and the few tuulo's that surround it, for them as well as their wider clan, Garcad is even more important then Hobyo is to us.
In the conflict of 2016 Xmas when 90.000 people fled the city, our ones fled to wisil that was able to cope easily were the inhabitants are from the same sub-sub-sub clan of those that fled, the reer mahad's predominantly fled to Garowe and Qardho, the lands of other sub-clan's that routinely humiliated them because of ancient rivalry, this was all over radios at the time.
The clan rivalries in Somalia is also between sub-sub-sub-sub-clan's which is something that shocks people that are unaware, because they assume it's only inter clan's.
East of Gaalkacyo my friend.
They died for the sake of qabiil.
