Really cool, IMO. They're trying to save $8million, and they currently have around 4 mil I think.

Port is really beautiful, probably the second best looking coast next to Eyl, very classical looking, it just needs infrastructure.

Paidmonk,

They got the plans but need a lot more money to make it a reality.

If there was a government in Somalia, there would be more funds for new ports all over Somalia.

Walle, I gotta hand it to the Kalun eaters. There trying their best, and making things happen

I wonder how Majertens are taking this defection?

Good luck to reer Las qoray, i wish them well.

Abdi how much do you think an ceel macaan like operation would cost to set up.
or any other way to upgrade a port.

Actually the government ownes them all not HJ

[Luq_Ganane]

I definitely agree with AW. Construction of quality ports and things of that nature are the responsibility of a Government. Unfortunately in its absence the diaspora will have to be the financiers.

[paidmonk]

Money won't be a problem, they're very optimistic, they're halfway there. Why do you think they're so confident about Maakhir; they know this coast will become a reality.

As for MJ's taking this badly, I doubt it; its just a burden off our shoulders, one less district to worry about, now they're totally on their own.

nope the government runs berbera, and the land port of togwajaale for ethiopan trade,

the government is not present anywhere else.

Actually I kind of liked the idea of Harti,Lelkasse making ONE mamul. However this looks like its dying out.

Gurey,

El Maan port was more of a natural harbor than an actual functioning port. Ships were offloaded using smaller boats and offloaded by hand.

To build a deepwater port, functional for heavy tonnage ships, requires major money. Somalia is curse with having a high continental shelf which would have to be dug up to deepen the sea floor.

A decent port would run about $5-10 million.

Paidmonk, that's Cool

$5 million to $10 million sounds a bit too little
