You wish it is all going to be paved and once I land there this summer you will see the pictures for yourself. I am also going to hargeysa my sister inlaw is Isaaq.

I hate to say this but if you Honestly believe any Somali Airport will ever surpass Mogadishu airport than your smoking some Crack. Even during the heaviest fighting in that city the amount of Landing and Departures surpasses any other city in Somalia.

inadeer once Bosaso International opens we shall see. Mogadishu got nothing on us anymore.

Any authority that even has the nerve to try and ban qat will be on a suicide mission. Its just not realistic to mess with the demographic that chews qat, young, angry unemployed and armed to the teeth. Even when Somalia had real authority it couldn't stop the flow of qat into the country. What I think needs to be done with qat is put in place a long term program that will bare fruit with the younger generation, as for the current generation what the local authorities need to do is tax it to a level were an unemployed person will struggle to afford it. This money should then be spent on educating youngsters about the side effects of qat and also investing on their general education.

Once it Opens and Business starts than we shall see until than they are the ATL of Somalia. I also think the Airport has been rebuild in that city.

Thats exactly what the Puntland adminstration plans to do.

Dont be daft sxb. You think the political rhetoric from a man who not long ago was printing fake money is worth substance. Man you must be very very gullible. Puntland could not stop the human trafficking, it cant stop the pirates or the money printing and now you have a man with history as president you think his got the balls or the political will to stop something thats not even a local phenomenon. Please bro. Messing with qat is very very risky and for this guy to tackl qat ahead of all the other issues in puntland is just stupid. His just playing to the audience and nothing more.

In Somaliland they print their own money, in South khat traders and other traders print. So why shouldn't puntland print money??

[Cali_Gaab]

Exec, this is why.

Inflation is high everywhere in Somalia.

[GENERAL_SNM]

Executive, are you going to make a case for the human trafficking and pirating aswell? Sxb printing money with the aim of making illegal profits and bringing the whole economy to its knees is counter productive. What those guys in Puntland were doing was selfish and illegal and anywhere but Somalia they would be treated as criminals not given presidencies.

[Cali_Gaab]

Enforced by factors such as money printing, which was the reason for the protests.

What they are doing in Puntland regarding money printing, Its a norm in Somalia. Even in Somaliland, they are replcing fake money with fake money. All these notes are printed with no reserves....You either condemn all of them or you just shut up.

Whats your evidence that the somaliland gov prints money inorder to get rich? You know what was happening in puntland was wrong even their honest politicians said so. People high up in the puntland political establishment were printing money for the sole purpose of getting rich. If you cant see that thats wrong then thank god your not in charge of Puntland.

[Cali_Gaab]

Printing money occurs all over somalia, somaliland included, the difference however lies in the excessive method of printing.

Have you ever seen somali currency? My parents still have a few notes and they are literatlly just falling apart, imagine notes being used back home and that's kept into circulation continously without having a Central Bank?

It's for this reason money printing needs to be conducted, or should i say the only method of buying goods.

However, all within good practise and reasonable amount. The excessive printing in Puntland is what played a major role in the inflation.
