Walee waa sida aan ku ogay. Its still exactly the same when I was there in 2003. Can you believe that. Man, labo odey ee cimaamada garabka saaran mooye, the city is empty. Nope its NOT 75,000 Its less then 50,000. Ar heedha Wikipedia waxaad kasoo dirsatey forumkan hala imaanin, Yaah ma i maqashey. Dhagahaada furfur. Waryee mideeda kale its NOT the safest place. You got bunch of criminals escaping from jail, and bunch of robberies.

Haye, then where is the city. Ma duurka buu ku yaala miya ee Yeyga u badanyihin iyo dhurwaagu?. You can see from the pictures that after 5 minutes walking your out of the city.

the one who took this pix is not stupid,, meelaha qurxoon uun buu soo sawiray
meel foolxun ma soo sawiyo,, and you know that,,plus,, iam not saying
that Garowe is a big city,, it is much smaller than even Gaalkacyo.
tan kale Garowe way dheer tahay ee balac malah,, look at the 1st picture.
if you are coming from east to the west,, it about 15 minutes walk,,
but from south to the north can take hours. coz every one wants to be close
to the Tarmac road,, that way guriga laamiga ku dhow uu uga qaalisan yahay
kan ka fog.

Boowe, the city is small as you mentioned yourself, but the fact stays the same. I didn't say that the city is ugly or anything. I just said its still the same. I have seen those buildings when I was in Garowe, and the population of the city is less than 75,000. Hadaladeyda halkaas ayuu ku dhamaa.

I have seen those buildings when I was in Garowe,



the last time you vissited was 2004 right,,,
walaahi most of those buildings were not in 2005, let alone 2004.

A few lies mentioned in this thread:

Walking from East to West garowe can take up to 25-30 minutes, 5 minutes is ridiculous even if you run fast.

From South to North Garowe takes about 90 minutes (by foot), There are even damn buses that takes people from South to North Garowe

I was standing on a hill that was about 700 meters high so you could see the entire town, it looks smaller because I am standing on a high hill

I will try to take some pictures of down town soon to show its not a tuulo, very crowded actually

[gemini07]

have you been to gaalkacyo?

[dawwa9]

Yes,

But I didn't have the time to take any pictures then it was a brief visit. I'm planning on going there next week. I'm here actually for business reasons (monitoring how my investments are going) not on holiday.

So you have been too gaalkacyo? surely then you wont disagree with me when I say that Gaalkacyo is 4 times bigger then Lil Garowe.
