If Yemen can do this in a desert why not Somalia?

Yemen cultivates both coffee and khat, despite its dense population, Although they have an mountainous terrain. In contrast, Somalia has far more fertile land but imports khat worth billions of dollars from Kenya and Ethiopia and grows very little of its own crops.

There is only one reason for this, Somali people are extremely lazy(except for the geeljire).

Theyre not lazy they just don’t know how to grow stuff. Somalis are pastoralists in nature and most of the people in major cities today are 1 generation removed from miyi culture. Most of them should be sent back to where they came from

Even this 'not knowing how to grow stuff' is a huge misconception. Somali nomads themselves used to plant some kind of grain if I am not mistaken, how else did we eat canjeelo. In addition, there are old date farms in Bari. I am sure there is more evidence out there. Maybe @Idilinaa will post evidence before the retirement?

Documentary about an ancient trading town called 'Geesaleey'

They mention the founding of the place, was 5 centuries ago, but I am sure it's far, far older.
