2023 FGS Budget Review

[Itsnotthateasy]

Overall its a good thing for these African countries to stop relying on handouts. Only 3 countries are exempt. Kenya and especially Ethiopia will experience a massive gap of revenue.

Any FMS can forget about receiving a red cent from FGS until further notice

I think US aid accounts for like 5% of Kenya government revenue, 10% of Ethiopia's, and maybe 400% of Somalia's.

Rough figures.

Hawiye mans you done messed up.

Maybe China got a spare billion dollars laying around somewhere? That money coming with a few pimp slaps though.

I think we are at the point where FGS can go up in flames before another darood sits in Villa Somalia. IC doesn't matter

I’m sure you and the rest of the SL crew in the council estates are having a party right now

Let’s be real, we all know that just means you will be under iidoor shabaab just like Godane era yaa kaaga futo xun. No more rag isla dabaasho. Do you really hate Darood that much?

Not sure if true or begging bowl tactic

It is true. Many children have died of starvation and diseases caused by starvation.
Somalia is much much much poorer than most think. Somalia is the poorest country in the world if we consider food consumption. Central African Republic may be worse.

We are in big huge trouble in terms of food security.
We just don't have the money to feed ourselves.

Somali fantasy of self sufficiency is just that, a fantasy.
The $1 billion that donors send to Somalia each year is keeping millions of people alive.
If the US were to really cut aid, millions of Somalis would starve.

The EU is unlikely to fil in the gap vacated by the US.
This could be a disaster.

 

[Thegoodshepherd]

Somalia has been averaging $1.2 billion in annual aid over the past 9 years, with 60-70% of this coming from the US. This has been structurally baked into our economy. If this goes away, our economy may contract by more than 20%.

I am deeply afraid.
