With Somalia, pointing out corruption in the FGS or its illegitimate leadership honestly doesn’t reflect much. The reality is that Somalia’s economy is entirely private sector driven, unlike most African countries where the government controls everything.


In most of Africa, the state is the biggest employer, service provider, and economic driver. If the government fails, everything collapses. But in Somalia, the government barely functions, yet the economy keeps growing. This proves that Somalis don’t rely on the state at all. Almost all services: banking, education, infrastructure, and even security are provided privately or through community efforts.


HSM and his cronies are just stealing foreign donor money, while Somalis don’t even trust them with their own. The economy thrives on private business, diaspora remittances ($2.9B annually, more than most African countries get in FDI), and local investment. Corruption affects foreign aid more than the daily lives of ordinary Somalis.


Meanwhile, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nigeria depend on their governments for employment, infrastructure, and investment. Somalia is the opposite. Somalis own their businesses : key industries aren’t controlled by foreign companies like in Kenya or Ethiopia. That’s why Somalia has a level of local financial independence that most of Africa lacks.


Somalia also doesn’t wait for the government to build roads, hospitals, or schools. Locals and the diaspora self-fund infrastructure projects. Somali universities, hospitals, and banks are mostly privately owned. Even electricity, telecoms, and water distribution are handled by businesses, making them more efficient than government-run services in other African nations.


So when people make these lazy TikTok comparisons, showing Somali politicians with captions about corruption and "70% of Somalis living in poverty" (which is an exaggeration), they misrepresent Somalia’s reality. Yes, corruption exists, but Somalia’s self-reliant economy keeps things running, unlike in many other African countries where corruption directly ruins lives.


At the end of the day, Somalia doesn’t depend on the government which is something most African countries can’t say.
