And Kenyas second biggest export after TEA and both export only to Somalia and Djabouti

the person that genetically engineers an insect that destroys qaad crops,
will serve his nation the most.

we should start a fund for researching this route,
and outsource the research to indian universities.


i believe it could be done in a couple of years,
then the Ethiopian and Kenyan crops as well as the Yemeni crops will be destroyed,



maashallah


this is the first thing i would do after i win a lottery

There's NO kenyan qaad in Djibouti !!

^^soo adigii hada kahor yiri "inagu qaadka nabiga ayan ku xusnaa"
