Let us tell you about the richest donkey in Somaliland.
All did not start well.
He was hit by a car and broke one of his hind legs. The driver settled the bill with his owner who then pocketed the cash and abandoned the donkey in the road.
When journalist Abdi Malik Oldoun saw him he had been hanging around in the middle of the road in Burou for 10 days.He started a Facebook campaign and the department of livestock paid for the amputation of the donkey's leg.
But it didn't end there. People had taken pity on the donkey and donated over $500 (£355) for his upkeep. People say he's now the richest donkey in Somaliland.
