SomaliNet Forums

Lately there's been too much threads where we're showing off to each other about who has the tallest buildings back home or the most paved roads etc. when in truth the average somali - north, east , west or south - doesn't have enough water or they don't have any electricity and they have 3 meals if they're lucky. By the average somali I mean reer miyi/baadiye, because the majority of somalis are nomads so therefore they live on camel milk and don't even get the luxury of bariis and baasto. So instead of the faan we can instead keep sending remittance money to our families and think about a way in which we can help improve the lives of our people back home.

Inshallah I envision a time when we can re-taste what we tasted before. Peace, development, and national prosperity

yh sxb - i am buying lots of lands in that area - for future investment

so true man....the fact is most people rely on remittance money, whta does that mean these people dont have jobs meaning they cant support themselve's what does that say about where they live, undeveloped. poor and unemployed- somali oo dhan, just because a few somalis got rich during the civil war and built a few hotels does not mean anything.

what people need is proper infrastrucure, roads, seweage systems, medical facilities,waste management, proper schools, factories, electricity service's, banking systems, bridge's,proper water supply,streets, etc

what a few somali refugees built does not account for anything, a society needs to be organised wholly, a typical somali cannotleave his miyi lifestyle and say am going to hargiesa to get a job? why because he'll have a hard time finding one and if he did he'd be payed peanuts.

livestock is somalia's primary export, we dont have factories or private firms employing our people to conduct their work.

actually some places do we have factories - like in somaliland they have some - factories which produce food , soap , daily things and also there is a big coco cola factory in oodweyne which was built recently to create jobs - and also there was a new job centre build in hargeisa to create more jobs - but still all those few factories is not enough for the people of somaliland who are 3.5 million we need to create more opportunities
