Somalia may [even] become a donor country, not an aid receiver - Turkish Ambassador

[Chimera]

Somalia possesses great potential to become regional star, envoy says

 

ISTANBUL- Hürriyet Daily News - Ali Kayalar

 

Somalia has potential, and this is not limited to natural resources, says Kani Torun, Turkey’s envoy to the country. The country should never face hunger, he says

 

Somalia bears the potential to become a shining star in East Africa if the country can maintain peace and stability, according to Kani Torun, Turkey’s ambassador in Mogadishu.

 

However, this potential does not derive from natural resources alone but also its human power, Torun

told the Hürriyet Daily News on the sidelines of a Somalia nongovernmental organization meeting

earlier this week.

 

“A big human potential also lives in the diaspora,” he said. “And they are hardworking people.

I believe that Somalia may even become a donor country, not an aid receiver, soon once it overcomes political and security problems

We have lost at least $500 billion in the last two decades be it, tourism revenue, infrastructure, trade, resource-industries, etc. This figure will be several times higher if we don't get our act together this year!

Peace would open up money-pots that could transform the people in Somalia and the next twenty generations. We are talking about tens of trillions of dollars over the next twenty years.

 

That's what's in it for them.
