Somalia needs a research facility on good governance and bring about 'data' and evidence of areas that we are failing. HDI is huge area of failure and can be proven simply by a 16 year old waiter in australia has more quality in his work then a Somalian who is in his mid 30s with a degree from scholarship in engineering. Puntland wa inay ka shaqaysaa sidi 'tayada' shacabka kor loo qaadi laha ama noqon lahaa international standard in all economic fields from customer service to engineering to policy workers to the leadership.

Good Governance needs 'laws' and 'punishment' not just 'laws' on paper, but arresting people who commit crimes, naming and shaming them in the media and society so they feel 'outcasted', we need the 'shacab' to realize if you hide your clans-men, every clan will do the same and this is the beginning of fowdo and 'dark ages' ama 'waqti mugdi' ayaa soo socodo.

Even our diaspora and locals waa 3rd world dhinaca maskaxda as u can see on forums and twitter all they do is report the news or post pictures of farmers and nomads as our minds is still 3rd world dee, we have enough journalists in somalia, we need more policy guys, strategy guys, engineer discussions, mathamatics, we need more discussion beyond reporting the news, this shows low capacity and we need international community to invest in meesha dacif ka nahay.

Somalispot needs a capacity injection or separate sub-section between 'news' and analysis and not put it together, where we build our diaspora capital and contribute to our nation or region recovery, thru idea exchanges, free flow of information and critical analysis of that data.

I already suggested to the @Admin 'kala saar wararka and journalists' and 'human capital such as analysis, contributions of ideas' into two different sub sections of 'politics'.

Let the news people have separate sub area. Our society lacks the most is human capacity injection from diaspora, they don't need in wararka loo sheego especially a 3rd world brain hadi warar uu sheegtid he will create conspiracies and been abuur because maskaxdisa weli ma aha 'international standard'.

We need the 'news section and comments' left as political news and another section called 'political capital news' or something with a catchy name that serves like 'wardheer' news section of somali spot while the news section can be like the 3rd world news site of rumours-conspiracies-clan agendas where-as the other political human capital be about strictly ideas to improve our nations economic idea-political idea-federation idea-academic articles. This is where the best of the best hang out while the other news area can be for the 3rd world mind-sets of diaspora, we need both because I can multimode between 1st and 3rd world mindsets.

@Admin if u create another sub-section for political capital news only, u will see 80% of our forumers are still 3rd world and will focus on 'myths, conspiracies, warar been abuur ah and our population only knows how to report news and be journalists' which is all the trademarks of a society that isn't in the first world of 'evidence based thinking' let alone contributing strategies-ideas because the mind xitaa ma gabo 'critical analysis' ability so how will it develop a strategical mind. Have u noticed our people focus on 'leaders' yet very few focus on institution capacity. Why wud anyone care who is the leader of a house when you should look if the house inu dhisan yahay international standard. War gurigina somalia ma dhisno marka maxay taraysa inaad ka daba wareegtid 'leader' afar sano loo dortay and waste all your energy there. Hence focus on research institutes on how to create a house oo stable ah markeedi hore.

We need more einsteins or isaac newston in every field or innovators, not more alex jones in somalia is my advice to Somalia search for human capital, alex jones type somalis will not leave behind something for the next generation to build upon
