Abiy Ahmed visiting Somalia

[TheLand]

My how Somalis have changed. Our ancestors would be turning in their graves.

Have they forgotten our wars with them during Axmed Gureys era? Have they forgotten 77? Have they forgotten the Somalis that are occupied in Somali galbeed? Have they forgotten the blood they spilt in Xamar in 07? Have they forgotten that they wanted to steal our land and ocean in the MOU just recently?

I guess it all works in the end for when Somalis will join big brother Ethiopia as one state.

That is probably Ethiopias end goal and it would be my goal too if I were them. They already have the source of the Nile, Juba and Shabelle rivers. Now they can get the longest coastline on the continent from their retarded neighbors. What more are they missing after that? Would be a state with a lot of potential indeed. They would have leverage over all the states that rely on the rivers downstream and the Red Sea shipping lanes, potentially massive offshore and onshore hydrocarbons. They would be an African superpower without joining the EAC or any other gimmicky group and still have AU headquarters.

Aren’t the people of Mogadishu supposed to be anti-Ethiopia? Why aren’t they doing anything about this?

Majority of them have been pacified a long time ago. The International community pacified Hawiye when they replaced Abdullahi Yusuf with Sheikh Shariif.

Even gaalo understand Somali qabiil politics...they fragmented the Islamic courts and opposition with one master stroke. They took out AY(darood) and replaced him with the very same Islamic courts leader(Hawiye-Abgaal) who had a large powerbase in Xamar.

Below is a leader of the former hizbul islaam rebel movement who formed after the collapse of the Islamic courts- Cumar Imaan(Hawiye-Baadicade)...he is asked why they are rejecting the government of Sheikh Shariif when he was the ex leader of the Islamic courts ? " We have rejected this goverment as we have rejected the government of Abdullahi Yusuf before, why? Because its the same as the government previously in its essence. The goal is the same, the people involved are the same, the constitution is the same so what has changed? Our fight with the previous government was not a fight with a specific person or so and so but rathet to free our lands from foreign enemies." Basically the international community has just replaced AY with Sheikh Shariif, and Ethiopia with Amisom, only the shirts have changed and we are still under occupation. "

True tbf I could be a Canadian or, god forgive me for even uttering this word, a European.

I never thought we could top the image of Ethiopian troops marching into Xamar back in 06, today brought back those horrifying memories

 

[always hungryy]

Guul Birmade HSM and mama Ethiopia.

Next we need Ethiopian boots on the ground to help force through HSM constitution and new election model 1M1V which HSM will win easily. More ethiopian boots on the ground in Jubbaland to take out Ahmed Futo Madobe. Laftagreen will be replaced with a pro HSM sws state leader. Then a full ground invasion of puntland to take out deni.

Then will come the oil exploration with turkey, we gonna eat good.

I came to this site so optimistic, After a year and a half I can only say I never want to hear about Somali politics ever again

They're hypocrites

 

[Ximan iyo Xadeed]

Kkkk Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world. Even Kenya has better infrastructure than Ethiopia. Apart from Addis Ababa the rest of the country is ghetto.

Ethiopia is poor


But they offer their citizens


Free education
Low electricity and water bills
Welfare for the poor


What does Somalia offer its citizens?

 

[Zak12]

Free education
Low electricity and water bills
Welfare for the poor

Free education exists in northern Somalia while Mogadishu university ranks amongst the best schools in Africa. Electricity rate is also amongst the highest in East Africa and is steadily getting cheaper with huge potential for wind energy as well.

What does Somalia offer its citizens?

Clean cities and a relatively safe, stable environment to allow thriving businesses and investments.

It's not even hopium. Yall have to much grudge and deepseated hatred for the Somali collective, it borders on mental illness. I am sure some of you actually suffer from it, one of you admitted to it by saying you guys have manic episodes. If true hope yall get the help you need, but don't take the Kanye route.

I don't know which is more disturbing the intense grudge yall have or the fact that you spawn users larping as this clan or coming from this or that region of Somalia. Yall don't have the courage to be your own authentic selves & hide behind fake online personas and are just consumed with circle jerk resentment.

I mean this guy @geeljre49 pretended to be in Xamar and used to figures from 2014 to imply how expensive electricity is in Somalia, them not using affordable energy etc. When in reality the price of electricy has come down from 1.04 to 0.20USD in 2020-23 and people are actually using green energy in high numbers which by 2025 this year it will be 80% making Somalia not only one of the highest electricity rates in the continent but the first to rely on renewable energy for most of it's energy.

He really said "Nobody in Mogadishu uses it renewable energy" , as if they have a choice in not using it, they use the electricity the provider gives them.

This is just to show the level distrubing behaviour and larping yall actually surfer from. Waa maskax xanuun that drives yall to deny real time happenings.

The only one who actually remotely post about anything related to Somalis development, progress and growth and future prospects is me, it used to be @Three Moons but he left.

You can tell by the level of disinterest yall have is ridicilous, any improvement or development is like ''i don't want to hear it'', thats the energy and feedback i get.

Somalia’s Economy is Growing Faster Than Most African Nations

This is the reality:

- Somalia has a booming private sector driven by trade, real estate, logistics, telecom, and finance

- Foreign debt is near zero, unlike Ethiopia, Kenya, and other African nations.

- The Somali diaspora injects billions into the economy every year—remittances alone contribute ~$2.9 billion, acting as direct investment into businesses and development.

Official estimates put Somalia’s GDP at around $10–15 billion, but this is based on outdated and underreported data. World Bank/UN indicate Somalia’s mobile money transactions alone are worth $32 billion annually—accounting for 36% of GDP. If we apply the same calculations seen in other informal based economies like in Kenya (44% of GDP from mobile money), Somalia’s real GDP is closer to $80–90 billion.

When i see the slander out there ,it really comes from the fact that most people are insecure losers in life and you have to imagine other Somalis and the country of Somalia to be in worse situation to feel better about your own situation. That's really what it boils down to. It's part of a defeatist and uninformed mindset that ignores real economic indicators and historical trends.

Somalia is anything but cursed , it's a highly dynamic, resilient, self-reliant, entrepeneurial nation.

Let me just TDLR this because it's structured a bit like a rant.

Summary:

Somalia is always ranked as one of the “poorest” countries by global institutions, yet on the ground, the economic reality is different.

Where are the mass beggars, homeless people, or extreme desperation that define real poverty?

Where are the crime waves targeting foreigners that happen in India, Nigeria, Egypt, and Ethiopia?

Reality: Somalia’s informal economy and self-reliance ensure basic economic participation for nearly everyone.

Reality: High entrepreneurship means most people are involved in some kind of trade, preventing mass poverty.

Reality: There is no major slum crisis in Mogadishu or Hargeisa—unlike in Addis Ababa, Cairo, Lagos, or Mumbai.

In many African and Asian countries, tourists get harassed by street vendors, scammers, and criminals.

Reality: In Somalia, people respect business transactions—shops operate normally without desperate hustling.

Reality: Money exchangers leave cash in the open without fear of theft—a sign of high social trust. High-trust economies are rare in Africa—this gives Somalia a unique economic advantage.

Reality: A country with mass poverty usually has mass crime, but Somalia does not.

Entrepreneurship, strong social bonds, and informal finance keep the economy functional.

Another thing to point out. Countries with mass poverty have mass crime, Somalia does not follow this pattern.

While Somalia faces challenges like political instability and terrorism (Al-Shabaab), it does not experience the kind of mass street crime, gang violence, robbery and lawlessness seen in other poor countries.

- In many African and Latin American countries, poverty leads to high crime (robbery, gang violence, kidnappings).

- In Somalia, strong clan-based support systems reduce desperation-driven crime—people turn to family, clan, or community for help instead of resorting to theft.

- This prevents mass homelessness, slums, and urban crime seen in places like Nigeria, South Africa, or Brazil.

Somalis have a culture of social responsibility—people take care of their own.

Unlike countries with widespread petty crime (pickpocketing, muggings, scams),

-Somalis rely on trust-based business practices. Honor and reputation matter—in Somali society, being caught stealing can damage your status permanently.

This discourages casual crime, even among the poor.


Unlike heavily government-reliant economies, Somalia has a thriving private sector that gives people opportunities to make money.

- Self-employment and small businesses are widespread—many people survive through trade, rather than resorting to crime.

- In contrast, places like South Africa or Haiti have high unemployment, leading young people into crime.

When people have ways to make a living, they don’t need to steal.

Crime in Somalia is Political/Terror-Related, Not Street Crime​

Most crime in Somalia is linked to Al-Shabaab, political violence, or land disputes—not random street violence.

In many poor countries, tourists and foreigners are common robbery targets—in Somalia, the main risks are political instability, not street-level criminals.

Even the poorest parts of Mogadishu are safer than slums in South Africa, Brazil, or Kenya when it comes to violent robberies.

Somalia has violence, but it’s not the kind of crime linked to poverty-driven desperation.

Cap

Why do Somalis go to Addis Ababa and Ethiopian schools/hospitals?


Ethiopia even manufacturers its own weapons, the country you call poor is more functional and respected globally than Somalia the beggar nation.


Forget non-muslim nations, even muslim countries look at Somalia with disgust , the country has nothing going for it. Even Haiti with all its troubles kicks Somalia to the curb

 

[Zak12]

Why do Somalis go to Addis Ababa and Ethiopian schools/hospitals?

They hardly do, where did you get this from? If anything, its Ethiopians fleeing to Somalia as you already know.

Ethiopia even manufacturers its own weapons

That isn't a sign of a healthy economy. Infrastructure is extremely poor outside of Addis.

even muslim countries look at Somalia with disgust , the country has nothing going for it.

Why are you projecting about what other country's think?
