Borama Town Experiences Increased Seismic ‎Movements In The Month Of Ramadan

Borama, Somaliland , Oct 30, 2005 (ANN) —People living in the town of Borama and its surroundings have experienced an increase of seismic tremors during the month of Ramadan.

The tremors which have rocked the town almost daily did not cause any material damage but have caused a lot fear and panic.

People who spoke to Awdalnews Network said that they were scared that the daily tremors might develop into something more deadly. However, in the absence of seismological centers in the country, the people said that they could only pray to God to save them.

Some people accused the government of not doing anything to inform the world about such impending earthquake.

“May be they are waiting until a disaster takes place,” said one of the people.

Some of Borama residents believe their town to be the center of global seismogical movements.

Mohammed Abdi, an elderly who have seen many tremors in Borama, said whenever a tremor jolts Borama we know that an earthquake would wreck havoc in some other place of the world.

“All the earthquakes that took place in Iran , Indonesia , Turkey and recently Pakistan had all followed after the people of Borama had felt a tremor,” he added.
