How many of you would agree with moving the capital to Hargeisa and using the somaliland Government as an interim government? Personally, I dont see the point in flogging a dead horse, when Muqdisho is concerned. The only people who would disagree with such a measure are qabiilists. Berbera, Burco, Boosaso and Garowe could be the next major cities. Plus Northern Somalia is far more strategically place than xamar. It has the advantage of being on the red sea (a great shipping highway) as will as having the indian ocean on the east. Also there is already a sizable reer koonfur diaspora in Hargeisa and Bosaso.

Somaliland is a sovereign country. How do you ask one country to host the capital city of another country?

Keep the chaos in Muqdisho

Bossaso is not an outrageous choice, but they would have to change the name first.

But other than that, Fuck you too

Hargeisa is not central enough to host the neededs of all somalis, nor are moqadishu or gerowe.

GaalKacaayo is more strategic and centrally placed to serve as a federal capital. With region capitals of moqadishu, hargeisa and gerowe serving as regional adminstration centres. For future inclusion of the ogadeen as a 4th federal inclusion with it's capital to be decided.

This in my opinion is the way forward.

Who knows the region well? i would like to consider buying some land there.

After the capital is relocated a wall should be built around Xamar

A wall to keep someone/something inside or outside???

Perhabs we can declare it our version of AREA51 and make a secret research base to interrogate anyone caught stealing fish from the somali coast?

I support the relocation of the capital too the nort or anything but xamar, hobyo in my opinion would be great location, historically hobyo was equal to xamar or even greater at times
hobyo the new somali capital

kuuntada wall halaga dhiso

I´m willing that the capital should be in Puntland, lakiin on one condition: Reer Muqodisho should stay in muqdisho, they are not allowed to relocate!!!

Twisted, what's wrong with the name Bosaaso?

Key to peace in Somalia is peace & security in Mogadhiso I think


P.s I would vouch for Garowe/Qardho or Eyl

Bosaso =

Gateway to the Middle East (1 hour flight from Dubai), close to many other metropolises such as Mumbai and other Indian cities

Strategic location (Far away from the border with Ethiopia, surrounded by mountains (difficult to attack)

Diverse population, 40% Majerteen, 20% other Daroods, 10% other Northerners, 20% Southern Somalis, 10% Foreigners

Bosaso

^^ Bosaaso= too hot


plus it ain't cisse riyoole turf

No city in Somalia has the infrastructure to be a capital city.
