While the brits weren’t that invasive they were pretty detrimental to nothern Somalis economy.
They thought the land was trash. They were only there for Berbera

A train system would do wonders for Somalia. No need for airports to consistently be built especially considering how open of a country Somalia is.
A banaadir area train line (Mogadishu going out to merca/afgooye) and one covering northern areas (borama-garowe) makes sense.

Yes, I made a thread about this rail line several months ago. Somalia actually should have expanded this line to connect with all of Somalia. If this would have happened there wouldn't be any clan on claves or even the notch of Qabil due to the fact of all cities would have been mixed heavily with all qabil. Now imagine this rail line ran the whole shape of the Somali back and forth
I think the next president need to make a rail line through out all of Somalia. We need to abolish the qabil problem and this could be the answer. The qabil in Somalia should be only Ethic SomaliaTrains low-key suck ass.I like the overground and the lizzie line everything else sucks.
kind of went off topic
The Mogadishu–Villabruzzi Railway used to run from Mogadishu to Jowhar. There were plans to extend it to the Somali-Ethiopian border and into the Ogaden, but construction stopped in 1936. The infrastructure from Jowhar to Buloburde was built by 1939, but they never laid the tracks. After WWII, the British dismantled the railway and used the rails for the Mombasa–Kampala line as part of war reparations. In the 1980s, the Siad Barre government tried to restart the project, but it was dropped after the regime fell. They also did the same with the line In Eritrea.

Rails the best method of moving people In masses would've made transport cheaper and more efficient and moving of all the agriculture goods to ports as fast as possible inshallah one day
That's unnecessary. Somalia needs highways.
Sxb rail lines and airport should be the goal and better roads. What century do you think Somalia infrastructure is in?
