Why Walk Hargeisa

The city was largely destroyed in 1988 and has been rebuilt through local enterprise. The Laas Geel cave paintings, dating back 5,000 to 11,000 years, are among the best-preserved rock art sites in Africa. A MiG fighter jet monument in the center commemorates the struggle for independence.
