Download How is Hargeisa recovering from last year’s market fire?

On the 1st of April last year a massive fire swept through the huge Waheen Market in Hargeisa.

It was the beating heart of the city - the capital of the unrecognised Republic of Somaliland - and played a role in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people there and across the region.

It burned for more than 24 hours - completely destroying thousands of businesses.

So how has the city recovered – as well as individual traders?
