Somalia should...

Xplaya

.

Be practical a baseball cap is no different then the xijaab it service the purpose of covering the hair and its hip. Most Somali women wear xijaab and niqaab for tow reasons alone:

1- niqaab, to cover their faces in YouTube videos while cursing or doing sexual niiko.

2- xijaab, not to comb their hair daily, or on bad hair days.

In otherwords secular liberal filth nation and cultural orphans of the west?

You guys are confused you want us to go from one extreme end to another.

Economically liberal. Not socially liberal.
If companies want to do questionable shit in Somalia, let them. Look the other way for about half a century.

That is what China did since the 1980s, although with a bit more government control. But I would do even less government control.

It depends what you mean by "look the other way". Companies doing business in a country doesn't automatically mean economic growth and prosperity otherwise South American countries that bowed to free-trade deals in the 60s-80s would be on par with China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan etc.

The way I see it. Somalia only benefits marginally if it approaches the economic policy in a liberal/laissez faire manner. You want foreign companies to come in pay their taxes, employ Somalis, pay fair wages, and bring new technology. You also don't want huge competition for your infant domestic companies so you raise import tariffs, taxes on foreign corporations, give subsidies to developing domestic sectors and lower the domestic tax rate to increase spending.

I support all of this except for banning burqa. Sheesh we cannot tell people what to wear Saaxiib.

Extremist Wahabis represent one of the many existential threats to our country. They are dangerous.

I'm glad there are so many reasonable people on Snet. Couldn't agree more with LqdHydrogen, Jamal & Itrah

Ban all that you mentioned. Start with the Ethiopian music. Every corner I go to I hear this music. Nacala.

1) Have one system. We have dawla taxta dawla. People do not have any idea of what the *Rule of law* means. Example. People will perhaps not pay taxes as they believe their clansmen can perfectly provide whatever service the government is claiming it would provide with the collected taxes. E.g protect people's businesses. Toolkaaga will come running to your aid so you might as well pay the monthly qaaran to them!
2) Ban maqaaxida. Bloody men sitting around talking about other people and bait stories is resource wasting...like the Mail delegation[the mail is a tabloid] aad moodaa like no man
3) Like build the infrastructure Stalin style but you get the point. Like can we not have caro iyo bus please

Have you been to Mogadishu before and for how long was that?
If you go around the market and near youngsters who chew specially the security forces, you will notice they don't listen to anything but Ethiopian music wallahi. I am tired of it. Last month I had 5 contractors installing electric fence wire in my house and they played Ethiopian music the whole day. So I ended up asking them why they are listening to some language they don't really understand, and they go like its nice, just NICE.

It costs quite a lot. I don't know exactly how much it is but it depends on the perimeter of the house or area you want to fence. It's quite reliable. I will ask my husband more about it.
