Somalia's woes:Hope is four-legged & woolly -- The Economist

[Coeus]

The saddest aspect of these forums is the complete ignorance "Somali`s" have of their own affairs.
Its like folk are waiting for old whitey to come back and make things nice for them.....so sad.

Sadly that is very true.

This is why u keep getting banned. Stop insulting people when they express their opinions.

you should stick to your jinni language instead of trying to speak english 'cause you stated your opinion and i stated MINE. what makes your opinion of me more important than my opinion of you? see, the problem here is that you're an effeminate fudge packer. maybe if you were a normal male you wouldn't get so bothered by my comments.

again, stop derailing my topic. this is about the livestock trade and not what new exercises your homo gym buddy taught you.

I must be really REALLY Western because it reads like an good article to me. Bossaasso is at 1M?

Somali lobsters are the BEST. That fishery must be brought back!!

So I guess I can't say anything negative about the article. In that case, the font used looks good.

Exactly, A country like ours with the longest coastline should be the last country starving in a worldwide famine epidemic. We should rely on life stocks when times are good, but when rain disappears, people should turn to sea food. different types of fishes, craps, lobsters, sharks etc.

They used to look down on traders too.

What we need is a "great ocean road" from north to south. My back of a ciggarette calculations tell me that we could settle at least 3 million along that road. The people will be employed in the fishing industry, everything from fishing to building boats, processing and selling/distributing the catch. Tourism and conservation, oil/gas terminals, naval bases and much more.

The first thing we must do is revoke the licenses of the factory fishing fleets (to the extent that they even hold legal licenses). Any fish caught must be landed in our ports( where we can tax and keep an eye on what they`re doing). If they refuse we tell em to do one
