It's my personal opinion that all these Dir and Daarood mercenaries in xamar live on hawiye blood. Only hawiye pay tax to the so called Somalia government. And that's not fair in any sense. They have the right to demand that other Somalis should pay their fair share of tax. If you don't pay tax then you have no rights to Have MPs. Dad aan cent bixin yaga iyo awaawshood toona baa gole kasta Ka buuxa. Hawiyaha waxaanu Ku dhiirigelinayna inay cunsuriyiin gar Ku taagan noqdaan. Oo ay somalida iska celiyaan.
Ninkaa wiliq waa legend.
The Office of the United Nations Special Representative, The Somalia Stability Fund, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Aid, The Somalia Humanitarian Fund, The World Food Program, International Organization for Migration, and especially the World Bank would like to have a word with you about "nonsense."
Do you think relevant tax is buying a can of coca cola and giving an extra shilling in basic sales tax or then that little corner store passing that shilling forward to the local district administrator?
Nowhere---nowhere---nowhere in Somalia or Somaliland generate any "tax" to run their very own local area administration let alone have the capacity to even be able to "give" any tax to anyone?
Why are these people so economically illiterate among Somalis? Wallahi it is mind boggling.
You need to understand two at a basic minimum level;
1. Somalia doesn't "produce" (manufacture for export like cars, planes, even leather and tanning). It has virtually no "economy" (and this goes for Somaliland---Berbera or Mogadishu port don't generate an "economy" their purpose is supposed to be tools used by an "economy" especially one with something to export; also no livestock is not export for profit, it is basic service meaning the trade is subsistence)
2. Somalia has no wealth and no "wealthy" people (here I am talking assets implicated in foreign currency reserves capable of providing unfettered inflow of foreign capital which is the meaning of "wealthy" not little circulation of little capital within the country; US federal revenue from tax comes from "income tax" not "sales tax"...income tax is tax on the wealthy and their assets like estates and inheritance; the overwhelming majority of Americans do not make enough to even pay income tax).
So what you just said is "nonsense."
And I guarantee you when Rashid Abdi, Matt Bryden read his Guled Wiliq they private grimace and think "why in the world did we ever introduce him to" that neocon Jewish guy who is a Somaliland lobbyist with that UAE funded neo liberal magazine who when he sees Guled Wiliq's twitter feed privately grimaces and thinks "who ever brought him to me to get me to let him write an article for us before.."
Go and take a basic Introduction to Economics course wallah you can find lectures at Khan Academy and stuff.
Don't embarrass yourself again sxb. It is embarrassing to be that ignorant. Srs.
