[Yoousef]

In the airport and in interviews, should I pretend to be Ethiopian or Eritrean? or any other countries that I won't be abused or detained for?

no stick to your white race

I'm not white, I'm just attracted to white women

WITH PUNTLAND'S 5-10 BILLION BARRELLS OF OIL, WE CAN MAKE SOMALIA THE RICHEST NATION IN AFRICA! WE JUST NEED TO END CORRUPTION AND GREED IN PUNTLAND GOVERNMENT!

Zimbabwe is just a rich African country with a bad balance sheet, it isn't poor per se.

While Somalia is a shithole par excellence

Zimbabwe
GDP (nominal)
- Total $4.397 billion
- Per capita $374


Somalia
GDP (nominal)
- Total $5.731 billion
- Per capita $600

This just shows you that GDP/GNP is completly inaccurate when it comes to judging living standards.

Zimbabwe is ranked lower than somalia becuase its international trade has gone to shit, and its hyperinflation meakes it appear to be a shithole when it is more developed than allot of higher ranking african and middle eastern countries.
and the west is anti-Mugabe....

The western media failed to tell you that the Mugabe land reform has been successful and zimbabwe is self sufficient when it comes to food.
Just becuase millions of Zimbabweans now own thier own land and grow thier own food and trade internally for goods instead of bieng landless slum dwellers working slave wages, it does mean zimbabwe is a shithole..

i dont believe how many GDP the west tosses around, i wont believe for a sec, that a country that hasnt seen a war, was one of the most developed and prosperous nation a decade ago is beaten by country with zilch resemblance of peace and development, a country built on xawilaado, with zero accountability and business indicators, and an economy that has been on teeters for the last decade, and is not utilizing the full economic potential of its resources, this is purely a western campaign/sanctions against the great country of zimbabwe

somalia is plugged into the kaafir/western dominated international market, they benefit from our trade somehow
and they do not find us a threat to their system.

anybody that goes against the system, like Mugabe, North Korea, Eritrea is a threat..
we are not seen as threat becuase they know any future somali government will be thier willing obedient slaves.

sxb, the international market is a great way to sell and introduce your products, it is essential to any economy in now and in the future, even if half the world is bombed to smithereens, no country will benefit from isolationism and alienation. sxb, i always wonder why a christian nation should suffer, at least when i see a muslim country i know deep down no matter their religious affiliation or sect, allah will grant them jannah, even if they go to hell briefly, put why should a gaal suffer in both worlds

anyways, somalia is becoming a threat just like these other countries, so somalia is not far from the axis of evil, unless inshallah we defeat the al fataaniin and zindiiqiyiin

[gurey25]

nothing wrong with trade, its the lifeblood of everyone and is xalaal..
the problem is banking and interest..

as a country you can do what you want, you can massacre your own civilians you can invade other countries, as long you do not challenge the
financial elite.

unless you are too big, like china or too crazy like north korea.. they will find an excuse to get you..

[GacanSareeye]

very true, indeed. i think that is the only thing wrong with capitalism, this insatiable thrust for power, influence, money, and pleasure. but as a system, it is one of the greatest things to ever happen to humanity, other than islam. the self perpetuated mechanism, and the invisible hand of the market, as the driving force behind economies is a very strong concept. one of the biggest challenges we face is to come up with a system that somehow reconciles the two, just as the west have at least come to terms with it. combining the dictators with the wealth these markets bring has so far been a disaster.

Robert Mugabe liberated his country from the white elite 10 years before Nelson Mandela 'liberated' South Africa
