we are hardly behind sxb. Almost everythink is managed in Kenya by non-Kenyans. even the airport, Kenyan Airways and this project above are managed by non-Kenyans.

Kenya has the biggest slums in Africa, this seems like a vanity project, because the likes of Kibera and most of the Northern region could use an upgrade. However this is a private project, so we can't take away the credit from the Kenyans who safeguarded their native superstructure that is the Kenyan Republic which has enabled them to attract such big investments in the first place, we destroyed our own superstructure.

 

I estimate that Somalia has lost atleast $30 billion in Foreign Direct Investment during the last two decades from the Gulf regions, China and Latin America, not to mention atleast $500 billion in Oil revenues, because the 1990s would have been the era of our oil-boom had the war never happened. There was a time when Somalia build more first world infrastructure than our neighbours, even the Tanzanian president once uttered the words "The Somalis are doing in Somalia what we in Tanzania preach!"

 

All in all, we shot ourselves in the foot, basically!

Seems more like a real estate venture that also seeks to attract tech companies. Good luck to them. Kenya has a lot of well educated people but much of the capital is in the hands of foreigners/minorities which tends to breed resentment.
