Puntland government to open its third operational airport in garowe

[whitehartlane]

Gaas definitely the Development President...

No dispute in that...5 more years for gaas...

I don't see anyone able to compete with him

 

[whitehartlane]

You can fly to Doolow, Garbaharet, Luuq and Baardheere. Probably airstrips though since thwre isn't as much trade as PL or SL

I don't blame them....

If it wasn't for the Chinese built roads connecting gaalkacyo buurtinle garowe qardho bosaso Laascaanood burco Hargeysa and berbera


I don't think we would be flying either...

Lack of roads is what Is killing gedo and adjacent regions

 

[Bohol]

Imagine when the whole city gets a face lift like that...which is what they are currently doing
....looks like who ever is behind is inspired by kigali

They need to make those empty spaces small parks it would look like amazing.

Yeah land escaping it would make it look like a second world class

That's one dry land....

It so happens to be our most fertile land...nugaal valley....

U don't want to see video like that of bosaso...

Your eyes will fall off..Rocky deserts..

Puntland region definitely is the source of that Semi-arid title that's associated with somalia

Yeah exactly. It horribly affects Gedo because the Kismayo port is so close yet so far (it takes 2 to 3 days to get from Kismayo to Bardhere) which means that you can't integrate the two economies.

Rer Garowe must teach me their ways. Theres not one paved road in Cabuudwaaq, we can learn alot from Garoowe.

The Puntland diaspora is the most proactive diaspora while my people are sleeping

 

[Cotton Eyed Joe]

I'm not making fun it's true Hargaysa is the only operational one. There are no scheduled flights from to and from Berbera even though they had a new terminal there.

 

[Bohol]

This is why Warsangelis and Dhulbahantes should stick with Puntland. Their regions can develop like Garowe (wealthiest area in north/north eastern Somalia).

I disagree

I think the most active diaspora are the isaaqs

These developments are not done by average community people but by an administration..

That title of most active diaspora involved back home are by far reer isaaq..closely followed by hawiyaha in Mogadishu according to my understanding..

The businesses in Hargeysa and Mogadishu are testimony to what I am saying..eventhough Mogadishu is a lot more diverse

They just have shitty admins

The problem with Berbera airport is the demand is not there that is why it was closed. No one
wants to land in hot Berbera when they can go to Hargeisa. There is demand for other regions
though (Borama, Burco and Ceerigaabo).

Berbera is only used as a transit point for Djibouti bound flights, its a glorified gas station.

 

[Saalax Bidaar]

Puntland has succeeded where SL hasn’t which is decentralized the state itself.

They gave not importance to one city, but all three. Each one serves a purpose. Meanwhile SL has poured everything and everyone in one spot, Hargeisa.

You gotta spread out

However Hargeisa egal has a lot going on than Bosaaso’ Bender Kaasim anyways

One can not compare the need for airports in puntland and Somaliland...bosaso to gaalkacyo is 750 km

Garowe to either one is 500km

Somalilands need for additional airports is less pressurised than Puntland.. one can can land in Hargeysa and travel by car to all locations besides ceerigaabo comfortably where it's a pain to do that in puntland

Rofl you serious? Most business men in Xamar are self made tycoons usually profiting from ill gotten gains or lack of government. For example Hormud is the direct result of Al Bakarat a former Itixaad based bank that monopolized Xamar's telecommunications infrastructure.

 

[TekNiKo]

@whitehartlane compare Garowe pre 98 to now, yiu seriously cannot deny its emergence as a regional powerhouse. Beforw that it was a glorified watering hole.

Hargeisa and Xamar have been developed for eons

I agree Hargeisa is very close to Borama (less than 1.5 hours by road) while Berbera is close to Burco. However Ceerigaabo is a different story, it is very far and remote.

I agree Hargeisa is very close to Borama (less than 2 hours) while Berbera is close to Burco. However it is Sanaag that needs a airport it is very far and remote.

How long does it take to drive from Burco to Ceerigaabo?

 

[Bohol]

How long does it take to drive from Burco to Ceerigaabo?

9 hours. The road to Ceerigaabo is not entirely paved that is why.

Does the mountainous terrain affect the journey time?

Good stuff, only a matter of time till Garowe becomes somalia's second capital.
