Hargeisa, Somaliland Rises from the Ashes

The Brenthurst Foundation published in March 2019 a study titled "Hargeisa, Somaliland - Invisible City" by David Kilcullen, University of New South Wales.

Mostly destroyed by civil war during the 1980s, Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, has made a dramatic recovery. The paper investigates the successes and challenges of Hargeisa in the areas of social and economic development, critical infrastructure and services, security and international relations, and suggests areas where other African cities could learn from Hargeisa's experience.
