You worship insignificant villages today! and your telling us Xamar was nothing LOL..Mogadishu never was great, even back then unemployment was extremely high and literacy rates low.
You can thank the Arabs, Persians, Portuguese and Italians for the former beauty of that city, not the Somalis.
Duleeysane & Gaajo Lasanod & Jaberti ku qafiifa..
There is nothing Somali about Mogadishu, Italians built it
And it was never that great as I said before people were poorly educated and there was no real economy
