Looks absolutely beutifull Soo green. Hope it becomes the breadbasket region in the future .:cool:

[Cadale]

the regions along the jubba and shabelle river has the potential to be the breadbasket of the entire east african peninsula if only somalis could put their shyt together.

[Nin-Yaaban]

It looks very nice, and its' very lush and fertile area.

 

[Nin-Yaaban]

Only problem? It lies too far away from Xamar, about 90km (50miles) from the capital. But other than that, it's a nice area and get's alot of rain.

[SomaliPhilosopher]

Have any figures on how much land goes for over there?

With good roads, 90km is great. no problem at all.

very beautiful land, it just needs investment,

[MoonLight1]

Very nice indeed.

 

but Beledweyn gets my vote as the most spectacular city, with the river cutting through through,

 

Hargeysa would've been a stunner if the dry river had water.

[Tallaabo]

Hargeisa looks lifeless:(

More areal from Jowhar the city which literally translates into (pearl)

 

Flood hit farms.

Jowhar was founded by a senior member of the Italian Royal Family, H.R.H. Principe Luigi Amedeo, Duca degli Abruzzi

in 1920, who first came to the African continent in 1873 and liked the place. The Duke raised funds to build dams, roads,

a railway, schools, hospitals, a church and a mosque. He eventually married a Somali Jowhar woman and died in his village.
