What would you say is the key to saving Somalia

[peterpeter]

The nation has grappling with a thirty plus year civil war and the country has gone back in every metric possible relative to where it was pre 1977 how does this get fixed. What do we need, a civilian uprising against al-kebab holding politicians accountable making us a military police state until a centralised govt is implemented how exactly do we fix this.

 

[NidarNidar]

Moving the capital to a neutral area owned by the government, 2 term president, strict restrictions on the central government, more autonomy for internal politics within member states, independent anti-corruption department managed and vetted by external auditors.

 

[Yusuf Abdi Ali Rashid]

Military backed dictatorship is the only right answer

 

[Taintedlove]

I want a cultural revolution.

More poets, less millitary.

More guntiinos, less abayas.

More garbarsaar, less jilbaab.

More osomanya, less latin alphabets.

More ancient somali celebrations, less arab and western imports.

More pride, less shame.

More aspirational women, less asinine men.

More family planning, less on-the-whim babymaking.

More swahili architecture, less ugly western sky rises.

Better tolerance and treatment of strays (yes even dogs), less fearful shunning arms starvation.

More outspoken women, less shame for victims of sexual crimes.

More community, less clanism.

And above all, education.

1. Somali architecture is distinct to Swahili architecture, why adopt it?
2. Clans are community, no two ways about it, but yes we should work towards a lasting peace
3. Arab imports? Wdym
4. More poets and more military

the rest of the list is more less up for debate but can be considered

*from my sub-qabil

 

[gasara]

- Merit-based society over qabil or who you know.
- Eradicate corruption.
- Be strict on criminals and abusers. You can’t get run away from what you did.
- Empower women. Tell them to pursue an education before they have a child.
- Invest in Somali jobs/businesses and Free education for the masses
- Help the poor and sick.
- Banning polygamy for men that are broke.
- If you abandon your spouse and children I will jail you indefinitely. And make you work hard labour.
- Family planning courses. Abos and Hooyos need to play an active role in raising their kids. Be familiar with nutrition and depression. Also teach both parents how to raise kids and cook for them.
