		The people of Burao seem to have learnt from their past predicament: the city has been now enjoying almost nine years of fairly uninterrupted peace; there is also a strong feeling of communal association and a sense of determination on the local population’s part to rebuild the city.
		As a result, the city of Burao is now going through an age of Renaissance in her own right, as it is enjoying a sustained period of an unprecedented expansion in its history, in terms of spatial development and intellectual capacity building.
		The Mayor of Burao at the time was keen on the idea, as he was fully committed to facilitate the establishment of the new University of Hargeisa campus at Burao.

		Rebuilding Burao is the responsibility of everyone, it is here where the contribution of civil society, government and the Somalis in the diaspora are very apparent.
		After more than 4 hours of travelling, we reached Burao at around 8:45 and was awfully hungry,food is not readily available in local restaurants they say, so since Citi Plaza was newly built and its a hotel (which we assume has food anytime of the day) we took the risk and went straight.
