I am not a photographer, but thought I'd take a couple pics (obv filtered cause my cam sucks) for you. No one really posts pics from Berbera - I've seen alot from Hargeisa and Mogadishu though :up:

Zubeir, I had your little town on my mind, which you said was a few km east of Berbera. I remember someone saying it was overrun with abeeso (sp?), which was exciting to want to check out. I brought it up but was overruled... It is actually accessible by land (you said only by ocean), but you need a proper sand-dune to get to it...our trucks got stuck in the sand when we ventured off a bit too far. Good times.

Land of Abeeso in the distance lol

Image
Ottoman ruins. THE WHOLE CITY LOOKS DESTROYED :shock: :? . Minus the newer houses...there is a certain charm to the city, but it is rundown as hell. Ilahay ha barakayo

Image
:heart: Mini camel caravan against a gorgeous landscape.

Image
Filtered, but it's da sun and mini coast. TBH my cam wouldn't pic up the sun's light, so I had to make it a bit darker :lol:

Random pic of the way back to Htown.

LOL Keep your disparaging comments to yourself. There is a reason why there are different (and equally beautiful) terrains and climates. Locations and altitude have everything to do with them. I have seen very beautiful and green landscapes in Somaliland, I just haven't posted them. Would showing you them change your basic and obviously ill-informed opinion? It takes a intelligent, unbiased and open mind to appreciate all the lands of your ancestors. Bidow :lol:

Anyways, nice pics. I wanna take a stroll in the old parts of berbera and Zeila. Snap away and just relax. Can't wait till I go back.

It is indeed sad how somalis are sitting on historical cities and towns with a plethora of potential yet their cities look like someone dropped a bomb on them. Maybe there would be more progress if ppl accepted how shit these places are rather than bombarding us with pictures of prideful villas.

Berbera's hot, if I remember, never stopped by but I drove from western sland to northern sland, seen that area first hand. Should have added berbera to my route damn, drive out for a bit to that area smh.

but heard from locals in sland, it has the same heat as djibouti and northern Sland, Ill check out Berbera in a few years maybe establish a house out there.

Is the biyo garaad or caadi :lol: though im assuming everyone drinks water bottles eh.

Im assuming you mean Akhtar :lol: , Somaliland has tons of green spots, I would say starting at around arapsiyo at the southern most tip I suppose.

but most Slanders on somalinet are from Hargiesa and the Eastern spots. Which is why they post photos from those areas.
