Not sure if someone already posted this or not, but found it to be very informative.



P.S. How did Burco come to have a sizable Arab community decades ago and whatever became of them?

who the fok are you first?

Arabs in burco? that's new to me bro. I knew arabs lived in all major coastal towns but I wasn't aware they lived in the hinterland

I'll watch the whole video when I get some time.

Most of Burco's Arab community now live in the UAE. Some of the names the former mayor mention are my uncles reer abti.

@Cumar - Imagine my surprise when the video mentioned it.

The Hereri & Hargeysa segments are very refreshing, you should check out the other ones as well when you get around to it.

Anarchist, yeah I watched this one and I enjoyed it very much



odaygan miskiinka ah, he is in his own little world, he hasn't got a clue outside his little tuulo - when asked what a nearby tuulo was called he said: "reer hebel hebel"

Thanks for the input.


@Cumar - I didn't see that one, will watch it now. Adiga, did you see this one? This guy is rageedi, walee.

They properly fled in the wars like their counterparts in Berbera and some did not come back. There is also a small recent Pakistani/Indian Muslim community in Burco;
They mainly work in the pharmacies.

Yemenis lived all major towns, There was a sizable Yemenis in this town-------they fled when the war broke out, to my surprise they have returned within a year from Yemen, and regretted ever leaving. Yemen must be shitty place...
