Good ideas for visionaries akhi, Africans see gov as a mean to collect more wealth/power for themselves and not the people. I believe that if a man truly tried to push this agenda forward that he would be arrested.

Is there deterioration in Somali language in Djibouti in terms of its quality and use among the newer generations? Is nomadic life in Djibouti still prevalent and to what degree has it been urbanized? Do the 'Somali' Djiboutians engage in clubbing and drinking? How prevalent are dugsis/madrasaas in the city and are they urban in infrastructure ? Do djiboutians claim this 'collective' history and identity of 'africanism', or do they view themselves as exclusive?

There is an ongoing linguistic revival in schools alongside Islamic Studies or the more established Arabic but also in publishing (Somali Pen, linguistic units at the CERD research centre etc).

Nomadism is waning but it is virtually impossible to stop cross borders nomadism as ethnic groups span accross countries.

Western norms such as drinking and clubbing are frowned upon and limited to hidden activities and mostly few priviledged youth.

There are dugsis or madrasahs everywhere of course as no Arab, Afar or Somali family go without it, albeit some hire macalins or teachers at home too (and both local Afars and Arabs tend to be even more conservative than Somalis socially speaking).

We view ourselves as Muslims first, then Somalis etc.

The government of Jabuuti should also invest in a highway connecting Jabuuti and Sylac. It will benefit both our countries by facilitating trade and travel.

The most obvious sectors are the build to rent as hinted in the threads but also english or skills teaching;

of course, fishing & aquaculture or the processing of Ethiopian raw exports are also very promising, interesting to foreign investors.

 

There are countless niche areas too such as tutoring, hi-tech car repairs, vehicles rental (for those with regular customers), services for the elite etc

Why would there be? If you're thinking of starting a language institute, get a celta qualification then start an English one. To study in English universities, students need to have a TEFL qualification which you could offer.
