The city really need to plant more trees in the city. Most trees look Harsh dry stick figured with no leafs.

Dadkii horee ee Hargeysa, sida lay sheegay, badankoodou markay guri dhistaan at least hal geed bay ka hor beeri jireen guriga hortiisa. Now days, people cut perfectly shaped and perfectly placed trees . Dhaqankii baa is badaly.

they need date palms , aligned by a main road, that's a city.

we need to make sl the greenest country..

Lollllllz AZ and his palm trees

The city Council can really do this if they tried a little planning but it seems like they don't care.

The current mayor campaigned to plant 10,000 trees in Hargiesa. But I guess they don't raise enough money to fund all those many needs of the city. You can't spend money on trees when you are struggling with city's waste disposal programs.

Trees? We don't even have paved roads!

To me having proper drainage and sewage systems are more imports than roads.

At the rate Hargeisa is growing, we're fucked if someone doesn't set up some sort of sewage system in the city. If the local govt is short on cash, they should privatize it to businesses that can help offset the costs

I don't think it is possible to privatize it because Sewage systems are public goods. There is no profit incentive there.

Building sewage systems is very costly, it needs central gov funding. But I don't think the current government can fund it at this stage, it is way too expensive, so you right we are fucked.

SL can afford it. Especially if it tightens restriction on currency exchange which would fund not only sewage projects but other infrastructure building. It won't happen for two reasons (1) somalis lack common sense and ambition (2) somali governments lack common sense and ambition.
