Hargeisa ((ソマリ語:''Hargeysa''), (アラビア語:هرجيسا)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130122160435/http://jubba-airways.com/destinations/hargeisa.aspx )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=1350565654&lng=fr&des=gamelan&geo=-198&srt=pnan&col=abcdefghinoq&msz=1500&men=gcis&lng=en )〕 Hargeisa serves as the capital of Somaliland, a self-declared republic that is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia.〔() Somaliland’s Quest for International Recognition and the HBM-SSC Factor〕
During the Middle Ages, Hargeisa was part of the Adal Sultanate's domain. The city later succeeded Berbera as the capital of the British Somaliland protectorate in 1941. In 1960, the protectorate gained independence and united as scheduled days later with the Trust Territory of Somaliland (the former Italian Somaliland) to form the Somali Republic (Somalia) on July 1.〔(Worldstatesmen – Somalia )〕〔Encyclopædia Britannica, ''The New Encyclopædia Britannica'', (Encyclopædia Britannica: 2002), p.835〕
Hargeisa is situated in a valley in the Galgodon (Ogo) highlands, and sits at an elevation of . Home to rock art from the Neolithic period, the city is also a commercial hub for precious stone-cutting, construction, retail services and importing/exporting, among other activities.〔
==Etymology==
The place-name Hargeisa literally means "the place where hide is sold". Although little is known about the city's pre-19th century history,〔 ''Encyclopaedia Aethiopica'' suggests that the settlement may have evolved in the latter half of the 1800s as a Qadiriyya settlement established by Shaykh Maddar, near a water-stop used by nomadic stock-herders on the way to the town of Harar. It thus proposes that the name "Hargeisa" was possibly derived from the sobriquet ''Harar as-sagir'', meaning "Harar the little".
