Garowe, Somalia
Garoowe is the municipal center of the autonomous state of Puntland, which claims hegemony over the northern reaches of Somalia and the tip of the African Horn. Developing fast, the town has sprouted new libraries and paved roads, NGO offices and even hospitals in recent years.
Historically, it was one of the urban centers that formed the Majeerteen Sultanate, before coming under the control of Italian Somalia in colonial times.Few of the old relics remains, and Garoowe is now a town looking firmly towards the future.
