It is now known fact that Somalia is a rich country that only needs peace! With our natural talent for business and our natural resources, Somalia will soon be a rich country. From the desert of Puntland to Ogadenia to J/hoose, there is so much oil, Somalia will be the African Kuwait soon. Remember that the world just found out the Puntland oil, but have known the rich Ogaden oil/gas deposits for years. When we get peace, we will play Dhaanto like no tomorrow! Ever heard the Somali saying "Qofka gala abaal marbaa loo gudaa", let us not forget the countries that have assisted when we needed/need the most. Countries that have taken our suffering refugees and provided them with opportunities and decent living conditions. Here is my list:
1. The United States of America; yes America! No other country has done more for Somalis than America. Even today, America is still bringing these poor refugees mostly disabled and elderly from Kenyan Somali refugee camps. You can argue the working-age people can be used as a workforce, but elderly and disabled? In my view, it is just because of pure humanity and compassion!!! The most successful and the most integrated Somali refugees are found in America! So many lives back home depend on the remittances sent from America by their relatives in America.

2. UK I don't know much about UK but I know there is a huge Somali community and they are doing fine!

3. Egypt; for letting our people come in their country without Visa when they were fleeing the civil war.

What countries do you think have done the most for Somalia? I know for sure Italy, the former colony of Somalia, hasn't done one thing to help Somalia in the last 20 years of the civil war.

KENYA has done more by accepting more than half million somali refugess and also Pakistan although it lies very far away from somalia,it still accepts somali passport and that enables somali students to study in virtually every university they can afford private or public while india doesnt recognize somali passport.

You guys are too emotional. Somalia should work with the strongest, forget the weak. Our best friends are USA, Canada, Australia, UK and soon Japan/South Korea.

As for the weak countries that hosted our refugees, we shall repay them when they become refugees or a famine hits them ( God forbid). But the motion of we will give you our oil because u welcomed our refugees it too frigging dumb

Adoow,
Good points! I thought about Ethiopia and Kenya and then remembered both of these countries are occupying Somali territories and the regions the refugees go are mostly the Somali regions. In other words, if you fight with your parent or brother/sister, you would most likely seek shelter from your next of kin. Well, thanks to them

1/ America , I agree . God bless America , i ain't too sure about Obama or Hillary Clinton

Yemen , do not forget yemen . they've done more than their share . May Allah bring peace and prosperity back to Yemen .

emotional b1tches stay in the kitchen and let the men manage Somalia's riches.

9/11

l'll send them a thank you note card, intaas in kabadan ma awoodi karo!

Even before that kind gesture we somalis have to be dying of obesity first until than bal xagaas iga jooga.

btw my number one priority is to see ethiopia fall, I wanted to enslave the habash but hooyo said it's too extreme so the collapse of their regions is primary.

Waar forget pakistan, egypt iyo waxaan naf lahayn. Somalis should stick around the top-dogs like America, EU, China etc. maybe we can learn something.

Yup, we will be known as the baby that walked and surpassed their mildly retarded adult neighbors. First we have to learn from our mistakes, struggles and misery by creating the best government that Africa has seen.

The issue of the untapped into natural resources we have has recently prefigured in the discussions on Somalia. But, many fail to understand that natural resources parse are not a panacea. There is a stream of literature entitled “resource curse” which catalogues abject poverty, corruption, civil wars and other societal ills.
