actually this is harti sheikha its a beautifull town

its very green waliba

Its not green, the image is off-color because Google cannot fully recreate the image of the area. Its probably the same kind of landscape as Borama, its a little green but not like southern Somalia.

Borama is situated on a lush green valley that is suitable for agriculture and produce.

[paidmonk]

Not really. Somalis think everything green is farmland. Borama is semi-arid just like the rest of central and northern Somalia, but there are a few pockets of grassland. That's the extent of it. Nugaal/Sool is much better suited for farming of any kind but Borama can only hold as many agricultural yields as any part of Waqoyi, its not significant. Borama's elevation is too high for commercial farming, the best you can do is a few very small sections of grain, but growing grain on a small farm is pointless to begin with, you need massive acreage and Borama's geography does not allow that. Borama is not "lush" my friend, it is very arid, there are only a few small farming/seeding operations outside of the city, but once you travel one mile out of the zone you enter mountains and rocky terrain in every direction.

Your knowledge of Awdal region is terrible to put it mildly, how can you compare Borama and other Waqooyi towns such as Burco or Laascaanood? Borama's elevated landscape is the reason why there is much rainfall, plus its mountainous which causes most of the rain to come down into the valey ways creating excellent cracks in the earth viable for produce. Borama runs near the Golis Range mountains. The main occupation of BorAma district is farming just like all other areas of Awdal:

"Farming is the predominant occupation in the areas southwest andwest of Borama. Irrigation takes place to the north and east of Borama town.Livestock rearing is also common practice. Commerce and petty trading takesplace in the towns." (Borama Municipalty Report).

Localized farming can happen anywhere in Somalia, it does not make Borama different. There are also notable farming communities in Western Sanaag, Togdheer, and parts of Waqoyi Galbeed. I'm talking about large-scale plantations like the ones in the Jubba regions, Hiiraan or the Shabelle regions, the ones that stretch for miles and miles.

[RuralMan08]

You are becoming a noted propagandist sxb. How can you compare localised farming in small areas in Sanaag, Sool etc when whole communties like Beesha gadabuursi dhamantood over 80% are are sedentary even those who live in the coastal and sub-coastal areas are becoming agricultural. Our whole economy is based on agricultural produce and your comparing that with individuals who farm mildly and are geeljire.
