Just saw these newly planted date palms being eaten by goats which I suspected would happen. Nobody stopping them either. Garowe won’t get anywhere until the animals are kept far from the city. All that work for nothing.

The roundabout needs a defining memorial, not necessarily a statue of a person, but an iconic aspect of Puntland or better yet pre-Puntland history. Maybe recreating the iconic Lighthouse in Cape Guardafui or having August 1998 with the signatures or the outline of Puntland.

It needs to be something more than an advertisement of Golis or any other monopoly, that is ugly and basic. It is literally just known as “barxada”, it needs to have an iconic memorial for it to be named after and then that can be the centre of the city, just off the suuq.

Xamar, having been built when everyone lived there, has 3 statues, 2 are on either side of the city (Xawa Taako being opposite the National Theatre and Sayyid being just off of old parliament / Masjid Isbahaysiga), however the iconic and most renown is the main hub, that is what is needed

Agreed, and I think it might be still under construction, or at least I do hope so. It is a good beginning, and a sense of what the future might look like. I remember seeing earlier pictures of what London's Hanger Lane gyratory used to look like.
