The Great Hargeisa Goat Bubble is a story that was first published in the Financial Times in 2003 and has since gained popularity. It was turned into a BBC radio play and is set to be adapted for the stage. The story follows Dr. Ibrahim Bihi, a Somali man who exploited a discrepancy in the price of goats to make a living. However, his scheme spiraled out of control as others caught on and the market became flooded with goats, causing prices to skyrocket. The UN even got involved, appointing an official to oversee the goat market. The story is a satirical commentary on the nature of market bubbles and the consequences they can have.
