Hello student Life:

[Chimera]

Ghanima i agree with Skipper all of the current statistics regarding Somalia by orgs like Worldbank and Cia-W-book are based on late 80's governmental census, i think countries like Namibia or Botswana are better options, anyways good luck!

 

To skipper the rest of your post (the printing of money aside) was b.s(no disrespect) Somalia might have been stable in that era compared to today but booming it was definitely not, more like the average citizen was statisfied with the little things they had due to the many restrictions imposed by the Government. Today there are more Airlines, a stronger telecommunication system, more Universities and schools in Somalia. Places like Somaliland and Puntland are estimated to have a GDP per capita of 1600$ or more (could be way higher)

 

If only a non biased non governmental organization could do these type of governmental surveys i think we would see alot of progress in multiple areas

[Som@li]

Yes, busted! very bad scene.

None taken adeer alsulmale. When i say Somalia was booming is because i was looking at the bigger picture. What separates a great coutry from a good one is first and formost the total security that the goverment bestows its citizens. You are right when you said the goverment was a hinderance to development due to its communism mentality. But communist didnt stop Japan from becoming a major player in the world economy did it? Siad Barre is the most underrated leader i have ever heard of. If it was not for him then we would have write things in arabian instead of latin. If the war was avoided and Siad Barre was left to govern then i am sure Somalia would have been the most strongest coutry in east Africa.

Ghanima, you went back! Good on you, luv. I mean to every year but still haven't. Maybe next year I'A.

 

I think every country in Africa is fascinating. They all seem to share the same larger issues, however each country is unique in its own right. Somalia would be an excellent subject if you could find any sort of relevant data on it but that's very difficult as you've already been advised.

 

See what countries have already been picked by your fellow students and then just choose one of the unclaimed.

Actually today we would probably be writing with the Osmanya script(i'm personally very saddened that this didn't happen) which at the time was being used around Somalia by both government officials,newspapers and civilians

 

I agree i rather have pre-88' Siyaad Barre than todays scum but there's not much one can do about this fact, but our people definitely took matters into their own hands and succeeded in many ways one would not have predicted if you told a person in 81' Somalia will be without a government in 91' and beyond. More Airlines? More schools and Uni's? better telecommunications? The person would laugh and accuse you of being a nin walaan but we both know this is today's reality because of the resilience of Somali entrepreneurs and civilians

[Thierry.]

The problem researchers and economist face when researching Somalia is the lack of sound statistics, we know with the fall of government and central bank all data halted.

 

Maybe it is time that Somali economist or those who have studied social sciences create a online statistical database. This way research can be carried out.

 

Watcha say peeps sacrifice a couple of hours a week to research data and compile the information. It would make it easier for any future administration.

 

Ps Norf your inbox is full bro

^^^^A noble idea, better to start somewhere than no where and it has to be done eventually. Personally I would not mind doing a few hrs.

 

Val: Inshallah I hope you do It is hard going back to being a poor student, and the longer you are away the harder it is.

 

 

Thanks everyone

^^Your just looking forward to sleeping in :rolleyes:

[Skipper]

Alsuaamle i got to sleep bro (NOT SURE IF YOU ARE A FARAX, PARDON ME IF YOU ARE NOT) so i will answer you when the time is right, have a nice sleep all of you.

[Chimera]

I'm a Farax :cool: (Dhulqarnayn)

[Khalaf]

^^Alexander the Great? Cyrus the Great? who wrote that crap bro? Dhulqarnayn was man that lived during the time of Musa pbuh, thats what i heard. Allah knows Best.

 

good luck *smiley* on whatever u do inshallah.

[Chimera]

I vote for Cyrus cause Eskander was far from a just ruler since he burned and sacked Persepolis, while Cyrus freed Jewish slaves when he conquered the Babylonian Empire, gave all people of the empire equall rights etc etc so if i had to choose between the two (and Dhul was indeed a King of the past and not myth) than i would choose Cyrus the Great but your right Allah knows best!

North why are you being so negative dear. From the moment I started this thread you have dismissed my course (implying it is easy enough for a lay man to do it, providing I pay you , bullied me, character assissentated my student potential by assuming I'm going to skipping lessons, and NOW you are undermining my reasons for going back to education. What gives baal.

 

Khalaf thanks.
