The restoration of Las Qoray's industries, among them its famous tuna factory, as well as the planned construction of

96-748: A Greek investment firm for the development of the commercial Las Qoray Port. A team of engineers was subsequently enlisted by the Puntland authorities to assess the ongoing renovations taking place at the seaport. According to the Minister of Ports, Saeed Mohamed Ragge, the Puntland government intends to launch more such development projects in Las Khorey. The nearest airport to Las Qoray is the Bender Qassim International Airport in Bosaso . Las Qoray has

128-402: A concrete foundation was raised 50 feet (15 m). above low water of neap tides . A small tidal rise spreading tidal water over a large expanse of lagoon or inland backwater causes the influx and efflux of the tide to maintain a deep channel through a narrows no longer confined by a bank on each side, becomes dispersed, and owing to the reduction of its scouring force, is no longer able at

160-606: A definite channel and protecting the mouth from being blocked up by littoral drift. This system was long ago applied to the shifting outlet of the river Yare to the south of Yarmouth , and has also been successfully employed for fixing the wandering mouth of the Adur near Shoreham , and of the Adour flowing into the Bay of Biscay below Bayonne. When a new channel was cut across the Hook of Holland to provide

192-660: A hospital for the town was announced during the visit. In 2017, voter registration for the 2017 Somaliland presidential election took place throughout Somaliland, but there were no registrations from Dhahar and Las Qoray districts. In December 2019, flooding in the Las Qoray area caused missing people and flooded and isolated roads to and from surrounding neighborhoods.

The Puntland army with Ali Hussein Somali, governor of Sanaag region of Puntland, attacked it. During

224-411: A little above low water of neap tides , on which open timber-work is erected, provided with a planked platform at the top raised above the highest tides. In other cases, they consist entirely of solid material without timber-work. The channel between the jetties was originally maintained by tidal scour from low-lying areas close to the coast, and subsequently by the current from sluicing basins; but it

256-414: A moderate distance from the shore effectually to resist the action of tending to form a continuous beach in front of the outlet. Hence a bar is produced that diminishes the available depth in the approach channel. By carrying out a solid jetty over the bar, however on each side of the outlet, the tidal currents are concentrated in the channel across the bar, and lower it by scour. Thus the available depth of

288-546: A pier for fishing boats, and it became a major industry in Las Qoray. In addition to tuna, shark fins are also taken for export. The factory, which had been shut down due to the Somali civil war , reopened in 2001, but was closed shortly after. The facility was modernized and reopened in 2007.

384-656: A tide — a virtual prolongation of its less sea, by extending the scour of the river out to the bar by banks. Jetties prolonging the Sulina branch of the Danube into the Black Sea , and the south pass of the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico , formed of rubble stone and concrete blocks, and respectively, have enabled the discharge of these rivers to scour away the bars obstructing

416-483: Is a structure that projects from land out into water. A jetty may serve as a breakwater , as a walkway, or both; or, in pairs, as a means of constricting a channel. The term derives from the French word jetée , "thrown", signifying something thrown out. One form of jetties, wing dams , are extended out, opposite one another, from each bank of a river, at intervals, to contract a wide channel , and by concentration of

448-536: Is found Gelweita , another key rock art site. Karinhegane's rock art is in the same distinctive Ethiopian-Arabian style as the Laas Gaal cave paintings. Somaliland is home to numerous such archaeological sites , with similar edifices found at Haylan , Qa’ableh , Qombo'ul and El Ayo . However, many of these old structures have yet to be properly explored, a process which would help shed further light on local history and facilitate their preservation for posterity. In

480-446: Is now often considerably deepened by sand-pump dredging . It is protected to some extent by the solid portion of the jetties from the inroad of sand from the adjacent beach, and from the levelling action of the waves; while the upper open portion serves to indicate the channel and to guide the vessels, if necessary (see harbor ). The bottom part of the older jetties, in such long-established jetty ports as Calais , Dunkirk and Ostend ,

512-447: Is thus forced to seek another exit at a weak spot of the beach, which along a low coast may be at some distance off; and this new outlet in its turn may be blocked up, so that the river from time to time shifts the position of its mouth. This inconvenient cycle of changes may be stopped by fixing the outlet of the river at a suitable site, by carrying a jetty on each side of this outlet across the beach, thereby concentrating its discharge in

544-482: The 13th century, Dhidhin , chief of Warsangali , a branch of Darod , rose to power around now Las Qoray and took the title of Garaad as the monarch's title.

Additionally, the SLCG received three cars from the European Union in 2018. Jetty A jetty

608-474: The access to them; and they have also carried the sediment-bearing waters sufficiently far out to come under the influence of littoral currents, which, by conveying away some of the sediment, postpone the eventual formation of a fresh bar farther out (see river engineering ). Where a river is narrow near its mouth, has a generally feeble discharge and a small tidal range, the sea is liable on an exposed coast to block up its outlet during severe storms. The river

640-601: The approach channels to Venice through the Malamocco and Lido outlets from the Venetian Lagoon have been deepened several feet (metres) over their bars by jetties of rubble, carried out across the foreshore into deep water on both sides of the channel. Other examples are provided by the long jetties extended into the sea in front of the entrance to Charleston harbour, formerly constructed of fascines weighed down with stone and logs, but subsequently of rubble stone, and by

672-581: The conflict between July 2021 and November 2022, Las Qoray had the largest number of exodus in Sanaag. Meanwhile, in October 2021, the Somaliland government began the forced deportation of hundreds of people they defined as "non-Somalilanders" from some areas of Sanaag.

704-468: The current to produce a deepening. Jetties have been constructed on each side of the outlet river of some of the rivers flowing into the Baltic , with the objective of prolonging the scour of the river and protecting the channel from being shoaled by the littoral drift along the shore. Another application of parallel jetties is in lowering the bar in front of one of the mouths of a deltaic river flowing into

736-470: The end of the 19th century, made Las Qoray his base. However, there were several bases, and during the hot summer months, they were based in the cooler valleys in the south, away from the coast.

Horn Relief (now Adeso), an organization founded by Somali environmentalist Fatima Jibrell , began a project for the redevelopment of the 400-year-old seaport. The initiative was later taken up by Faisal Hawar , CEO of the Maakhir Resource Company. In 2012, he brokered an agreement with

832-453: The independence; in 1998, Puntland declared the establish. Both countries are stability relatively quickly, with Somaliland trying to expand its power to the east and Puntland to the west.

In July 2011,

864-465: The line of quays at the side, to enlarge the accommodation; and they also serve, when extended on a large scale from the coast of a tideless sea under shelter of an outlying breakwater, to form the basins in which vessels lie when discharging and taking in cargoes in such a port as Marseille . The approach channel to some ports situated on sandy coasts is guided and protected across the beach by parallel jetties. In some cases, these are made solid up to

896-588: The maritime consultancy Idarat Ltd, describes Las Qoray as "on the north coast of Puntland " in 2014.

Each painting has an inscription below it, which collectively have been estimated to be around 2,500 years old. Around 25 miles (40 km) from Las Qoray

928-405: The outlet of the river Nervion into the Bay of Biscay has been regulated by jetties; and by extending the south-west jetty out for nearly 0.5 miles (0.80 km) with a curve concave towards the channel the outlet has not only been protected to some extent from the easterly drift, but the bar in front has been lowered by the scour produced by the discharge of the river following the concave bend of

960-422: The slope for supporting coal-tips. Pilework jetties are also constructed in the water outside the entrances to docks on each side, so as to form an enlarging trumpet-shaped channel between the entrance, lock or tidal basin and the approach channel, in order to guide vessels in entering or leaving the docks. Solid jetties, moreover, lined with quay walls, are sometimes carried out into a wide dock, at right angles to

992-481: The southwest jetty. As the outer portion of this jetty was exposed to westerly storms from the Bay of Biscay before the outer harbour was constructed, it has been given the form and strength of a breakwater situated in shallow water. Where docks are given sloping sides, openwork timber jetties are generally carried across the slope, at the ends of which vessels can lie in deep water or more solid structures are erected over

1024-438: Was composed of clay or rubble stone, covered on the top by fascine-work or pitching, but the deepening of the jetty channel by dredging and the need that arose for its enlargement led to the reconstruction of the jetties at these ports. The nes jetties at Dunkirk were founded in the sandy beach, by the aid of compressed air, at a depth of 22.75 feet (6.93 m). below low water of spring tides; and their solid masonry portion, on
