Soft power is our most important investment as Somalis. I keep saying it, people in 2024 envision Somalia as still being 1994 today.
We also gotta learn how to embrace and be proud of our bounce back: (Anti-)Fragile State of Somalia. Yes we are the first country to experience statelessness for a period (due to several complicated factors), but we, the people - not the psychopathic political elites who do not represent us, have somewhat bounced back Alhamdullilah. That is anti-fragility. That should be our standard and our achievement. Its all about perspective. Read Michael Van Notten's work on Somalia, he praises us so much in the early 2000's saying if any country didn't have a state, it would be utter chaos for decades. We didn't experience anarchy, only Xamar did. WE HAVE TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN XAMAR AND SOMALIA!!! I believe Alan Greenspan said: Somalia is the only country to have a functioning economy without a state. This sounds like a negative but look at it as a glass half full, every other country would be Purge, for us we fall back on our traditional Xeer system that governs us, with or without central governance. Alhamdullilah. Its all perspective like I said
