you are selectivlye picking and chosing. As this report from World bank says poverty in Somalia and Somaliland can not be scientifically evaluated due to lack of data This survey is based on 4,117 people in a Somalia and Somaliland which has a combined population of 13 million people. The survey does not cover all disticts , its not based on science but rather asking people to guess how much they have . And it Theworld admits this not based on hard data.Anyway lets look
one this is for sure poverty is very big and bad evil in Both Somaliand and Somalia.
So lets look at this
we can see that first survey so this non of what written here can be taken for truth due to the lack of hard evidence.
in Somaliland which here is recording here constisting of 5 regions . ,Sanaag,NW,Togdheer,Awdal,Sool
Somalia consistent of 10.5 region
Buntland consist of 2.5 region which is Bari,Nugaal,Northmudug.
population wise. a 30 % somalis live in Somaliland which is around 4 million
60% live in Somalia South which is around 8 million
Buntland population is1 million which is less than 10percentage of somalis.
Now as you can see Buntland has done well but it can never be compared to North and South . Due to huge population difference. Alot of poor people will be found in Hargeisa and Moqdisho but also a lot of wealthier people.
Also we can see that this report was done in a period where alot of piracy was happing in Buntland region so alot of hard currency was coming in. Now that has stopped Puntland as the smallest and least populated of all Somalia will go back to its place , a place of fishing and salt andhard sun desert.Also due to Federalism in Somalia Buntland will recive very little support from moqisho compared to before like in the past the pm was also from PL but now we can see nether PM or President is from Puntland .
Somaliland is its own Country and prints its own money whhich makes money going into the country stay in the country
Somaliand economy is now in investing mode and with the construction of the Somaliand,Ethiopia Port And Economic relationship its economy will have a big growth 7-10% and result in lower poverty and winwin situation.
I cant see where Buntland is going to have economic growth from its very isolated.
Moqisho and Somalia dues have potentional specially baydoba but its all nothing until peace.
Another point u wrote was the among of Development money received in Buntland and South.
NGO money is one of the biggest problem in Africa , it will never help and is not intended to help . It can only be compared to crack cocain. one of the biggest reason the war in koonfur is still going on is the fact that the NGO allways goin to give free food, something which only continues the conflict.
ask yourslef why is moqisho in war, when its had million usds bye NGOs the last 30 years if ngos was helpfull it should be the best place. NGO moeny is cocain, first nice then you die of it.
also we now from previous reports that North Somailand is the biggest in source of foreign capital to the Siyad Barre regime .
Somaliland is the biggest exporter cattle,camels , sheeps bigger than both Buntland and Moqisho where the port was closed the last 30years.Berbera is the biggest Port .
Due to the ban in Somali live stock it will have the biggest impact onSomaliland but now its open again it will have the biggest positive growth in Somaliland aswell. The big investmet from UAE and Djabout in Somaliland . it will show the growth and be double digets. Compared with the the Somaliand 2030 plan. The every child in Primary school scheme.and the great entrepreneurship in Somaliland which is based on 70 years of not waiting any government to help compared to south where everybody works for the gov .
Again Somaliland is also a democratic place , is been praised by academics and countries around the world . a small country with 4 million unrecognized but still manged to hold,local,parliament and national elections. why does it do this, not for foreigners but because transferring power peacefully is something which is in the interest of Somaliland.a local system by the people for the people.in Somalia its a fact Farmaajo was election by fellow criminals in moqisho in i hotel.
Money policy: in Somaliland and its 5 regions somaliland shilling is legal tender and by law is accepted by all locals shops and people. the somaliland exhange rate is 8K/d
in Buntland and Somalia south, due to fake prints and rampent crimanl behvior somali shilling is not accpeted by shops , not a days go where shop owners in boasos complain. people in barkara , in kismaayo in buntland and every where print fake somali shilling resulting in nobody accepts it and it eats into people livelhood. the shs exhange rate of 20000.
lastly the gov budget of somailand is bigger than both butland and somalia.
Somalland is poor yes but its 4 million people are everyday working hard to solve that compared to moqisho which is not facing to its problem and buntland which is a poor isolated region.
adn nothing can be learn from u due to ur arrogance,hatred poor govenance , war profeteering and stupidity like u takning a world bank report that show how poor we all are and thhinking u are doing better when all data shows otherwisse. i rest my case.
