This may seem trivial, but I personally detest hot countries.

I need my four seasons.

I wouldn't mind going there for vacation, after all, i was born there.

But i wouldn't live there permanently....just visit the old country once every few yrs and maybe buy a plot of land.

none of the above. Should have had the option "I want to, and..." so people can fill that in.

Mine:
Waiting for my little one to grow up, and for my life to have a direction other than daughter/mother/teacher/some else's ____ and do something for me.

Somalia (including Somaliland) is ranked like dogshit in most human development rankings.

People rather die in the Libyan Desert or the Mediterranean Sea than live in Somalia. That should scare the living shit out of you from returning to Somalia.

Because of how others rank it? Yeah, perfect sense.

Discrimination and the fact that I could never find the type of job I have now or the industry in that country. As far as I'm concerned this is my homeland and I'm not ever leaving it inshallah. :) :up:

Those rankings have valid metrics behind them. Somalia is dogshit compared to the rest of the world.
