burco

Burco (Somali: Burao) is the capital town in the region of Togdheer in Somalia. Like Hargeisa, it was heavily bombed in the 1980s to stop rebels from taking over the northern part of Somalia. Also like the other cities in the northern part of the country, Burco has been rebuilt largely without aid. The city has boomed economically with the money coming in and people from rural area moving in making squatters all over the city. The city has Burao University, one of the only colleges in the country. It also has an Airport. Burco's population has more than tripled since 1991, to around 100,000. It is part of the break-away Republic of Somaliland.
