he wasn't even wrong but the fact it's EGYPT saying that out of all people astonished me.
Screw him. Egypt under him went down hill. That proud nation that had a huge weight before he came to power let Egypt become a vessal state to tiny Gulf state. Saw Sudan decent into civil war and did nothing while RSF, that is funded by UAE, expressing anti-Egyptian statements. Ignored Libya and let it become chaotic. Did nothing in Bab Al-Mandib in regards to Houthis. Watched in silent Gaza being burned down could not even get the Egyptians there out without the permission of Israelis. Let Israeli warships and military supply ships pass through Sinai channel and load and unload via Egyptian ports.


What he is doing recently in Sudan by giving the bare minimum support to Sudanese army and getting involved in Somalia is something positive for us. Let the idiot say what he want. We are more in need for Egyptian support.
 
I’ve been to Egypt it’s a poor country, Somalis over there live comfortable lives than some of the Egyptians to an extent they start learning Somali to cater to us

You forget the worst bit. He allowed Egypt to get bullied by an Ethiopian leader who pronounces The as Ze 😳

Why is that a surprise?!
We're the perfect example of a failed State.
Can we compare ourselves with Egypt?! Economically, politically, militarily, socially and historically?! Nope. Even Eritrea and fucking Zimbabwe is doing better than us. Let's not kid ourselves and face the harsh truth. We're SHIT. We're doomed because of one cursed City called Mogadishu.

Zimbabwe and Eritrea?
 
Yeah it was pretty stupid of him. I rember a lot of people on arabic Twitter called him an idiot for saying something like that to another leaders face at a press conference.

If he said that he is wrong.

I feel like this is fake news. That he hasn't said such a thing. Why don't you offer a link or a quote?

What he he said before in a press conference if my memory serves me right, was that Somali economy lost a lot growth potential because of the political instability and how we was robbed. Which is true.

Somalia was never a failed state. Those other countries haven't had foreign driven proxy wars and interventions/invasions to topple a government and destabilize it.

Despite that Somalia's has managed to pick itself up to move forward. Mogadishu itself is becoming a fast growing commercial and real estate hub and boasts East Africa's Nr. 1 university. Somalia has progressed so much on every metric.

And they aren't doing better than us in the grander scheme of things. They are dirt poor countries with shitty infrastructure , lack of education, health care etc and google Zimbabwe, Egyptian capital cities , a good majority live in dirty slums.

People crap on Somalia for it's political instability but what has stability done for those countries you have mentioned? They just live in sustained poverty and do very little to improve their citizens lives.

Mogadishu is cursed city?

When i went there back in 2013 it was a such culture shock. Unless your family is connected to the military you are living a destitute life in Egypt with no real social safety or upward mobility.

People would pride themselves of having a dad in the military because they are basically untouchable and privileged. You would see kids saying ''Don't mess with him his dad works in the military'' or ''Ask X for help his dad is in the military''

It's either that or having a western passport, you will either get scammed out of your money or treated like royalty.

The military controls everything and oppresses the average civilian. People in Egypt also act incredibly indifferent to eachother. They live in a mansion or apartment and right outside of it is a family of beggars in a tent and they don't do much to help them.

Somalia was never a failed state.
How did you come to that conclusion?! Somalia was and is a failed State for almost 40 years. You cannot dispute that fact.
Mogadishu itself is becoming a fast growing commercial and real estate hub and boasts East Africa's Nr. 1 university.
Post a reputable source that backs your claim about the university.

They are dirt poor countries with shitty infrastructure , lack of education, health care etc
Are we any better than them in any of those categories?!

google Zimbabwe, Egyptian capital cities , a good majority live in dirty slums.
... And we don't have slums and IDP camps?! Think logically before critiquing anyone else.

It’s not a failed state anymore. Somalia is now described by UN officials as a “fragile state,” rather than a failed one.
"Fragile" is a new politically correct term used by the international community to describe failed States. Initially they used to call such countries "Failed States" without sugar coating it but now changed it into "fragile States". Somalia tops the list of the current FSI (Fragile States Index) rankings from ETH Zurich and fragilestatesindex.org.
