^^^

I don't think the Sayid is advocating for HY issues on separate platform but he feels that Oodweyne is in the shadows of Burao and Hargeisa. I think he has a point but he also dismisses many other issues such as the countless villages dotted all around Oodweyne.

Oodweyne likewise should focus on taping the huge underground reservoir...the biggest in the Somali Peninsula. It's almost a lake the size of Somaliland. Once you tap that everyone will flood Oodweyne and settle there to enjoy the secure water.

The day belongs to those who see the grand vision of pan-Isaaqism.

Wow Somalia is almost completely devoid of aquifers. Look at Saharan countries like Sudan, Chad, Mali, Libya etc the all have oceans underneath them.

The Sahara is the Sahara because it drains all the water and that means its trapped layers deep down. How deep they are is unknown (some are of fossil nature with no recharge). In vegetation or fertile lands, its most likely large percent of water is used by plants, vegetation and animals. With Sahara every drop goes underneath. After millions of years it had just accumulated. The same is true about the Kalahari desert. Botswana already taped a huge aquifer. I think Kenya did some as well in NFD (still in progress).

Sayidka,

No one is stopping Odweyne from doing business but Hargeisa is where is at coz that's where most Isaac meet (Isaxaaq, Cidagale, Arab, Sacad Muse and even Ayub). No town has that diversity.
beside the diaspora only the really poor settle in the hargeisa city in somaliland, because they survive on govt handouts :lol: those clans you mention above beside maybe a small proportion ciidgale hawd have zero wealth in livestock, which is the bread and butter of somaliland economy.

habar hebel iyo reer hebel is not a reason for hargeisa to take the wealth of oodweyne. hargeisa without gabiley is the poorest region in somaliland. maroodijeex has no livestock, xooolo, beero from fararweyne to baligudle to Salaxley, to cadadley to sabawanag.

oodweyne cant subsidizes maroodijeex region because haber hebel lives which has no connection with the people of oodweyne. Its not fair on the people of oodweyne. oodweyne needs to think for its inhabitants since it has become gobol it cannot take the burden of hargeisa and burco anymore. period.

Why not bypass Hargeisa, Burco and Berbera altogether? If the region is as potentially rich as you say it is, why not just go your own way? Why not invest in your own port in Maydh, invest in your own slaughterhouses and abattoirs as well as storing/refrigeration facilities. All of this would cost a few million dollars tops. Add to that a few dhows and large fishing vessels and the entire eastern SL would be self-sufficient and providing jobs to lots of layabouts and geeljires.
if you by pass hargeisa, berbera and burao the govt will come down hard, hargeisa and burco and berbera will declare war. since the maxjar livestock quarantine was given to private individuals located in berbera and livbestock market are located in hargeisa and burco, reer odweyne are not happy having to pay both al Jaberi somaliland company owned a arab yemani, and the other maxjar privatley owned by indha -deero. they getting rich fast by taxing people almost $7 - $9 dollers per head for export and $1-$2 per sheep/goat for local hargeisa and burco livetsock market.

there are so much artificial tax and cost that is being force-able placed on the middleman and then the geeljire, that there profit margin have decreased 70%. i know someone who take the livestock from haud killa shanaad, they fatten the animal in oodweyne, and transport to djbouti were there is hardly no tax. most reer oodweyne use djbouti port, which means paying a team to walk for days with the animals.

simple hargeisa, and burco has too much population to sustain and their local govt. cannot sustain their population on ngo handouts. hargeisa and Burco will become ghost towns, people will floct to oodweyne, reer hargeisa dont want that.

if you can find a way to bypass all these artifical tax at hargeisa, burco, berbera and take the livestock to bosasso or djbouti you will become wealthy in short period of time.

simple geographical land of oodweyne and lower and upper hawd allows it to be the factory of the livetsock trade. Gubaan or coastal areas are too harsh with not enough rain. western somaliland is farming and has no historical traditions with pastoralism, eastern with exception of nugaal has no enough rain water nor vegetation.

80% of Somaliland livestock comes directly oodweyne or indirectly kililka shanaad and these areas haro-dhiig area to haro-ciid qabridahare to haro doollo in wardheer and those areas boarder only oodweyne region within somaliland.
