The development of cities in the Somali Region

[Removed]

I think you mixed up with kebri beyah which is in faafan zone not qabri dahar.

Faafan is the river the zones named after, it extends southward through Jarar and Qoraxey.

Deputy Mayor of Qabri Dahare speaking about the various development projects planned for the development of the city.

Municipal Water Infrastructure in Godey. Godey is getting treated water piped into every building, the first such program in the Somali Region. I believe this is the first time Godey has used the river for its water supply, relying previously on wells.

The ugliest eyesores in most Somali settlements are the "houses" that were built for no regard for town-planning or any other building or architectural standards. This is what Somalis deserve for the historic and present attitude towards Artisanal groups. If we respected Artisanal skills, people would have some building knowledge and respect for their dwellings. Instead we see these insults towards architecture.

Looks like slum dwellings:

Once there is enough money, these 'houses' all need to be knocked down. The biggest issue will be fitting these houses in the same place in a suitable manner. Perhaps they'll have to design row-houses.

Wardheer, the main town in Ciid. One of the most important places in terms of livestock production and trade. A historically very important place.

Beautiful. I wanted to watch first 2 min and ended up watching the whole thing

Wardheer has red soil, apparently that means it's fertile and has good drainage. They can grow crops like Bananas and Sugar Cane and other crops that need a lot of nutrients. People can become totally food sufficient over there, depending on the water situation of course.
All these red soil locations need to pivot away from overly relying on livestock and start taking advantage of that red blessed soil.

True, I hate those slum like dwellings, an eye sore overcrowded etc, should be all demolished in all somali cities and rebuild it in a standard planned way like you suggested.

Wardheer has now been connected to the national grid so it has 24hrs uninterrupted electricity. The Qabridaharre road is also in progress and should be finished soon. Once the Awaare road gets built, Wardheer will book like no tomorrow.

Ogadenia will soon end up having the most economically vibrant and well developed cities in the Horn if the current development trend continues.

I like Gode. When i was there under TPLF there were no asphalt streets in it only jidcad and all the employees were Amhara. It has changed under President Cagjar. I wish it remained the capital of DDS due to its proximity to Hiiraan.


im now interested in Wardheer as a route to Garacad port. We wannabe part of this world guys f*ck koonfur
