I’ve been showing you these same reports ever since I joined, today is the first day you bring this up. How come you’ve never shared any reports even after I asked you?
Puntland is surpassing the rest of Somalia.

It’s not about the land but the people PL has very productive people go gettersShe pointed out that Puntland has a lower poverty rate than Kenya and Ethiopia despite both countries having bigger GDPs. Quite the astounding feat given Puntland doesn't get any foreign aid and its land is more arid than either countries.
As for GDP per capita, others have pointed out before that Somalia has yet to get a rebase so Puntland's current GDP per capita figure may not be true and is likely much higher. Wouldn't be surprised if it was on par with Ethiopia to be honest.

There is a simple explanation, which becomes noticeable when traveling through .So regions and territories. There were two models at the start of reconstruction post nation state collapse:
a) M I Cigaal model, which favoured centralised system where everything ranging from politics to business to development had been concentrated in Hargeysa. This led to once booming cities like Burco and Berbera being almost abandoned, till recently in the case of Berbera. So is evident when traveling from Hargeysa to Caynaba, where there are no sizeable towns, nor rural communities to speak of. Borama is the exception. On the economic front, there are a handful monopolies from goods to fuel to even construction material, which strangles small businesses eliminating competition, thus exuberant prices and cost of living.
b) A Yusuf model, which favoured more decentralised system, dubbed bottom-up state building approach, where power, by design, was to concentrate on the periphery, and away from the centre, particularly in Bosaso and Galkacyo each with influence in politics, business, and development despite Garowe being the seat of state institutions. So is evident in growing cities like Galdogob, Bur Saalax, Burtinle, Qardho, Carmo, Badhan, and recently Garacad have grown considerably, and are centres of rural communities. Same applies to Las Anod and Buhodle, which are now the fastest growing and developing cities in the region. So is also true in cities in S Galbeed inhabited by people of said regions. More the reason the middle class in said regions had grown, and is considerably larger than other regions, hence lower poverty rate. This is not to suggest PL & SSCKH are perfect, for there is room for improvement.
Another factor of consideration is stagnation in SL politics and business where it had reverted backwards in the past 10 years with other regions fastly making discernible progress.
Sadly JL and SW had adopted the heavily centralised model, where light only burns at night in Kismayo and Baydhaba. GM & HS had been dwarfed by Xamar with their respective human capital and influence in politics and business traded in Bakara market at the expense of the people of said FMSs.
Centralisation breaths death into nascent nation state institutions and embryonic economies, particularly for states in recovery from civil wars.
This shall become more evident in years to come.

All Somalis are productive if the private sector is any indication. Even outside of Somalia, communities in Kenya and Tanzania are doing well.
