Somaliland rural population estimated 65% , in spite of that, the life of there is too trouble, people live with, droughts, environment problems, run out livestock due to diseases and droughts.

On the other hand, the life of rural is the mother of Africa civilization from the earlier up to now. Despite of that, for the past three decades many residential rural areas turned into cities, others were moved and became like a desert. The big question is why did rural areas became undeveloped and migration areas?


The causes of this critical condition are different from country to country, region to region, and village to village. Tremendous rural settlement had been changed into cities that brought to be disappeared to the most wealth of Africa which was livestock that the continent was familiar. Others have been seriously cut and burned great frosts. Trees have a great value for Africa rural people, but unfortunately, it was heavily burned, traded and intentionally cut by who don’t know how it is valuable to diversity living things.

Numerous rural areas in Somaliland three decades ago had been enriched uncountable livestock. For instant, one family may have over one thousand different types of livestock, the most expensive and valuable of Somali livestock are camels, people had been robbed camels from one clan to another and most clan-wars caused robbery Camels that mainly caused most of early Somali clan-wars. More over, a blunt natural fruits, vegetables, and natural water flow were finding in every where. Know every thing changed due to the influence of western lifestyle, civil wars, industrialization, global warming, lack of rural planning programmes and other factors.

Rural areas were the most important economic sources throughout of the people, this became out of target; if you go around Somaliland rural villages, you will find out empty settlements. The manpower of rural people divided into two categories. One group moved to cities and met the hardship life of the cities that was difficult them to adopt; Second group remain in villages from earl morning to the midnight eating Kat that captured their souls. Kat closed them every door to improve their family life. The tribulations of Kat are national and regional problems declined the economy and the improvement of the country.

Indeed, there is no definite and clear developmental strategy that Somaliland government set up to improve and make sustainable solution of the rural settlements. There are no self-help programmes that government making capacity building the infrastructures of rural civil services. All of these are the main cause of undeveloped of rural areas.

As to obtain sustainable solution, it should organize rural communities and give them rural orientation to develop themselves, the government should attempt to make subsidiaries of rural farmers and look for market to sell for their productions. Another important factor is to build the skills and should provide trainings relate to their own involvements. It’s also required developmental programmes throughout of mass media that enable them to learn their socio-economical problems and solutions.
