Bosaso, Somalia - the Gritty City (photos)

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

What a gritty city, full of hustlers, from small-time gas sellers to hoteliers, its like Somalia's Hong Kong, and the only place in Somalia where GDP per capita is on par with Djibouti, all of it earned on a street level.

Example of why somali people do better without presidents and oppression.

masha-allah it looks good in Somali standards. but compared to other world cities it looks poor and un-organised..all we need to do is clean the city build sidewalks and the roads need to be improved and it would become a great city in the future insha-allah,,,I wouldnt mind helping them to improve the city I have some great idea's and visions but no financial means to support and I dont know who to speak to inorder to help them and give them my idea's and visions on how to improve the city.

If Somalia ever reunites all its regions,i said IF
judging by infrastructure, it should be Hargeisa capital and Bosaso 2nd capital
