What would you do with it in the Somali Peninsula?

Resurface some of the major roads?
Build a few small power stations?
Invest in renewable energy?
Restore the ports?
Build a hospital?
Build the road to Erigabo?

Or invest in a more sustainable way by starting social enterprises:

Open factories and employ 10's of thousands?
Invest in large scale commercial agriculture? (Import substitution)
Invest in fishing (incl storage, export)
Invest in meat processing/export, tanneries & making leather products
Invest in milk production & export

Start a matched funding scheme to utilise diaspora investment and double your money?

There are a few things I would do, all centred around creating jobs and improving the employability of the locals.

Establish a conglomerate I suppose. New found wealth and influence would be benevolently dispensed for the greater good...

a portion of the wealth at least :Shrug:

A large chunk would probably go to education, the rest in infrastructure and promoting local industries

I would strongly encourage the passing of laws which benefit Somali businesses and encourage sustainable growth. I have no desire to actually be a politician
