Walaalayaal, Daawada Sawirada ee Caasimada dalka ee ANGOLA!

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

Luanda, Angola ROUND TWO, this development comes on the heels of oil money, and its well-deserved after 30 long and brutal years of Africa's worst civil war. Well done mujahideenta Angola!

*Also, you guys are not my walaalayaal, just watch these photos:






















































All that, done on less oil than Puntland has, for a population greater than even Somaliweyn. The sky is not even the limit.

The whole city just looks new. Like it was built last year.

If Somalis can just keep their little asses together for the few years coming up they will be put into a shock-induced coma by what can happen for them.

I feel like a task force should be created in the country and diaspora that exists solely to distribute propaganda like this so the people can get behind this project. Instead of being forced to run to 5th-world shit holes like Yemen or Bulgaria, they should be gently reminded that they're sitting on a resource that can make Switzerland look poor next to Somalia.

I swore that if any obstacle, foreign or domestic, hindered the progress of oil I would take up arms and die fighting to get oil enlightenment back on track. This to me is more important, clearly more tangible, and more urgent than any so-called struggle that Somalis have ever prided themselves on taking up arms for.

This is more important than any post-independence struggle.

$1.9 trillion

Just post-independence? What the hell did any of the pre-independence "struggles" accomplish? Somalia freed itself from Italy & UK just to become an aid-dependent shit hole for the next 60 years.

THIS thing happening now is some real shit.

Around one-third of Angolans live in Luanda, 53% of whom live in poverty. Living conditions in Luanda are poor, with essential services such as safe drinking water still in short supply.

It is far better to be an aid-dependent shit hole than a colonized shit hole.

Italy and the UK would've just sent the oil revenue to Rome and London, and your dreams of being an oil baron would've been over before they began

One thing I respect about Paidmonk is He thinks big. Right now Puntland, Somalia, etc. look NOTHING like that yet, He think one day it will get there. Believing is the most important step



Right now Somalis are just demoralized and broken mentaly, they can't dream.

The point here wasn't to demonstrate the quality of life in a petro-nation, if I wanted to do that I'd use Oman or Bahrain as examples. I was just trying to demonstrate the quickness of physical change (which, if used properly can mean social change as well and usually does). Clearly Angola's leadership is a joke, but with the tools they've demonstrated having they could've easily made the Angolan peoples' quality of life rivaling anywhere in Europe. I'm saying, with oil wealth the tools to do anything are there, I wasn't making a specific argument beyond the power of oil itself.

Unlike the majority of African peoples, the Somalis seem to be extremely business minded. One of the only benefits of the collapse of our country has been the entrepreneurial spirit we've developed, both in the diaspora and at home.

Without even access to this type of capital(again, $1.9 trillion), we've managed to develop an impressive and healthy private sector. We've got a telecommunication sector that apparently has some of the most advanced and affordable services in the world (let alone Africa), a number of construction companies that have literally rebuilt entire cities from rubble, and a media sector that's among the freest in the continent.

I can guarantee the development of secondary and tertiary industries with the development of the oil sector, from the agricultural sector that's widely tipped to have the potential of being a food exporter, to the longest coast in Africa that can support a billion dollar fishing industry.

I suppose all of this presupposes peace though

[Awe]

Why are there so many buildings with the same design/colour, wtf?

Nigga why the fuck you complaining? I would be happy even if every single building in Somalia was bright pink and shaped like a pussy, so long as we had big ass buildings to live in!

[AhlulbaytSoldier]

Cut Damn!! Angola is a fine land.
Puntland should follow that route, but first secede from the anti-progress wanlaweynia.
