Summary

April 2022 Waheen Market Fire edit

I added to the template under modern history the recent Waheen Market Fire. The reason I included this event is, while there were no casualties, the market was the largest not just in the capital Hargeisa, but also the entire country, and one of the largest in the entire Horn of Africa. The fire burned an estimated 99 acres of stalls and shops resulting in USD $2 billion in damages, or 60% of the whole nation's GDP. On top of the inflation caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and worst drought in 40 years hitting the region, this fire is expected to have major consequences on the nation as a whole. This is the reason I added the event, but if there s a problem with it, I would be happy to discuss it. Thanks! --Johnson524 (talk) 16:59, 3 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
