Who are the richest individuals in Konfur Somalia?

[Berke]

Besides the pirates, the fake opportunistic leeches we call politicians and the warlords, who are the richest individuals in Southern Somalia? There ought to be some really wealthy people in the South especially in Mogadishu. I am sure Abuukar Cadaani is among them as this guy built and operated the most active port in all of Somalia at one point at Ceelmacaan. The main shareholders of Hormuud telecom must be wealthy too as this telco company is basically taking over the entire South without any real competition. It is difficult to know who are the wealthy southerners as most of their wealth is either made outside of the country or moved to outside the country and now based in countries like Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda etc,. because of the instability in the south. Any guesses?

That seems to be the case.

[nomadicwarlord]

I would say arms smugglers.

No individuals in particular nor do I know their occupation but the richest guy has got to be Habar Gidir, these fuckers went from slumdogs to super-rich in no time. Our properties in Somalia were all bought up by Habar Gidir businessmen starting in the late 90s, they still call every now and then and make offers on what's left. Honestly, there's a 90% chance they're arms dealers on the side, everyone sold arms, its technically legal in America so what's wrong with it in lawless Somalia, I even had an aunt who sold AKs out of her apartment in Kismayo. If you're going to eliminate xaraam money from the equation, you might as well eliminate the entire Hawiye clan from this survey, many of them even the legitimate business owners got a head start with dirty money.

Hawiye made all their money on weapons dealing from I heard their weapons even reached places like Congo, Rwanda, etc. I would guess farms too, but not housing. We sold our house to a HG dude at the height of the ICU days for a nice profit. Now the entire neighborhood is bombed out and nobody but dogs live there.

One good thing about having HG relatives is that they can gaurd your house from thiefs

We need to research these individuals as I believe they play a large role in starting and fueling most of the problems in the south. They have gotten rich from the instability and peace and governance threatens their money making schemes. They need to be brought to justice and sentenced to death by hanging like the ex-Sadaam loyalists.

These Guys that You mention I do not think live in Somalia (aside from the pirates). Suprisingly they're smart enough to cash out and leave as soon as they have enough money and start a new life in Nairobi. Every Somali I know that has been to Nairobi say its a who's who of criminals, shady somali businessmen, etc. Dubai to a certain extent too.

[IRONm@N]

This man!

He is wealhy h/gidir.mostly his money came from looting the nation's treasure and blood.

[GENERAL_SNM]

This pirate Monkey is one funny guy. The little focker sugar coats his primitive and biased views with what sounds like the truth. War Monkey your whole Cisse Mohamud have given up shagging goats and gone wholesale into that pirating business who are you to lecture anyone about clean money. Bar the port in Bosaso not a single honest business exist in Puntland if its not pirating its human trafficking and if its not human trafficking its stealing other Somalis from the south assets like bakara market.
As for the Marexaans talking about ill gotten gains, well.

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

Between 3 low-level Ciise Riyoole pirates there is enough money to rent Burco for a year, why don't you go back in your corner and let the adults speak - this is about Koonfur Somalia, the triangle isn't mentioned here.

Monkey ma anigo HJ ah. You couldn't buy a garden in Burco if you put all your pirate money together and tried. Dont forget the richest and second richest in all Somalia are from Burco. Thats honest money.

Btw my point was if all your money is dirty as you have jut admitted, how can you claim the moral high gr0und?

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

Don't brag to me about your tiny clan, Burco's budget for 2010 is equivalent to a poor pirate's villa, don't embarrass yourself comparing the cute accomplishments of your little tribal town to a multi-national criminal empire. Your clan's largest company, Dahabshiil, only has $1 - 2.5 million revenue annually and that's all of their international earnings, of which less than 5% gets invested in Burco, that's chump change for pirates, the pirates' accountants make more than that. And for the record, pirates rarely invest in Puntland if at all, their money goes straight to Dubai and Nairobi real estate.

General SNM thinks Money transfer is a profitable business. The margins are very small.
