Also are those white people meant to feel bad for them? He literally said “why are we going to accept people who don’t even take care of their own back garden” he’s completely right on that statement cuz wtf.

No fr. All that foreign aid, can they at least rebuild something. Also our city planning is so bad. It looks like people bought private land and started building whatever. If we want our country to look half decent everything needs to be knocked down and rebuilt from scratch. From what I can see even the roads feel disjointed.

It's been years. At least just knock it down completely. As awful as it would be to lose such a beautifully building, if we can't fix just let it go and build a whole new one.

Xamar looked better in the 1980s when he had a proper central government, we need to take a leaf from Rwanda on how they’ve managed their country:

What kills me is that he was shouting "It's a sh1thole" and got shocked when people atarted looking at him poorly. I guarantee you if I did that in Britain I'd get a similar response. This cadaan trash thinks people don't know the word "Sh1t". He even pointed at some guy off camera and called him dirty? These cunsuuris don't even mash their fuuto, who are they talk about dirty.

But yes, he's right. This is all just performative and will do absolutely nothing. Perhaps if we cause enough backlash they'll take it down? Though the episode is already up so it's too late now. If there was at least some decent backlash, then maybe they'd stop making such awful films about us.

I don't know what's going on in Rwandan but yes, we need proper city planning and skilled people. The problem is there's no decent central government and the standard of universities is lacking so our quality of graduates may not be the best. Even if we could get diaspora educated in civil engineering/architecture to come as teachers there is no incentive for them to do that. It would be good though. If we had a safe country, we could give incentives to get people to teach and plan projects. I hesitate to say this because I think outsourcing is awful considering we have so much joblessness.


Xamar was beautiful. I have pictures from when my Hooyo lived there as a child and it was gorgeous. I think it'd be nice go move away from the heavy relience classic Italian architecture but otherwise it was gorgeous and well-built. Easily one of the most beautiful cities in Africa.

It's selection bias. Allepo not Damascus is the one that has sustained signs of destruction by the fighting, similar to Mogadishu.

Infact it's even worse because a lot of their cities and towns look like it survived an apocalypse

Portraits of war-torn Syrian cities

As president Bashar al-Assad’s regime tightens its grip on war-torn Syria, Sally Hayden reports from three government strongholds on life for ordinary citizens, who are seeking normality, even if rubble and memories are all they have left

It would actually require 400 billion to rebuild most of it.

Also Syria's Assad government practically ensured economic activity, rebuilding and security for Damascus and other places were able to do the same under protection of foreign governments.

Somalia on the other hand was blocked from foreign trade, investments, received minuscule aid(survived on remittances), until 2012-2015 and their group of companies were sanctioned until 2020.

So much of the development and growth of Mogadishu has been happening in the last 8/5 years carried mainly by private sector.

The tragic part about it is that , they rarely take foreigner to the areas of the capital that received development and has economic activity.

They intentionally go to the war torn old broken or abandoned beach sides used as fishing grounds and ruined parts of Mogadishu and i think they pay people to take them there. To relive the dangerous experience. They don't go the regular safer areas or the newly constructed and rebuilt parts of Mogadishu or even shopping districts either.

You can see it here in the drive through video of the city and collection of photos of various commercial districts:

A drive through of Xamar

They also don't take them to the clean green beach sides that people actually go to , that have resorts and various activies like scuba diving , snorkling and motors


They don't even take them to the new fancy restaurants and cafe's by the beach front, but will take them in front of abandoned dirty fishing ground next to a fishing market


They don't even visit the new mosques and major areas of congregation. They will gladly pose instead next to ruined Italian lighthouse in an abandoned area.


But it actually highlights how crappy the FGS is as @Devilsadvocate pointed out, they are the least patriotic Somali government, they don't do a rebase that would actually show that Somalia has a GDP of 90 billion to reflect the economic growth and changes happening in the country and they don't make sure that tourists coming into the country are blocked from visiting certain areas and don't do trespassing.

It actually runs contrary to their proclaimed statements on how they want to attract foreign investments. If i am going to receive foreigners i want them to see the attractions, i want them to see the progress and economic potential of the country, that's how you attract foreign investment.

Inshallah once they complete the Marina beach project, Dahab Tower and other neighborhood projects , it will take away from this.. They should be thankful that they have still Somali investors and entrepreneur that are trying to uplift the country.
