Members of the business community in Somaliland have pledged a donation of $8 million to the victims of the fire disaster at a market in Hargeisa.
The businessmen promised the funds during a meeting with Somaliland’s President Muse Bihi Abdi on April 8.
They spoke during an Iftar that President Bihi hosted at the Presidential Palace on Friday evening.
A week ago, the fire destroyed property worth close to $2 billion at Waaheen Market in the Somaliland capital.
More than 2,000 business premises were destroyed in the inferno.
