My Modern Somaliweyne concept

[Nudawn]

After years of war, famine And overall civil strife Somalia is not in a position to even think of militarily capturing lost territories in Ethiopia And Kenya. After The failed campaign in the 70's and the eventual collapse of our nation, we've for the most part forgot about our brothers and sisters in these deprived regions.

 

Militarily capturing territory is out of the question, but an economic take over is very possible. We can make Garissa in the NFD the second largest city in Kenya, with investments from a peaceful Somalia we can transform Garissa into the financial and commercial hub of Kenya. Jigjiga can surpass Adama, Mekele and other regional cities to become a major city in Ethiopia. Somali companies Will be able to form partnerships with local Somali businessmen in these regions, and in turn open up potential market pop. of up to 120 million people.

 

Geographically jigjiga would be within Hargeisa sphere of influence Garissa would fall Under the port city of kismayos sphere.

Is this a tangible concept?

^ Nudawn bro lets concentrate first on the Republic, lets not run before we learn how to walk. Those regions you called "deprived" are the ones harboring millions of refugees and giving them shelters and basic life needs. Lets hold together whats left of Somalia before its too late.

I hate to bust your bubble but, no it is not tangible. Because:

1.The Somalis are far from united.

2.Who does business in Jigjiga and Garisa, and who goes in and out of those regions is decided by the Tigrey and Kikuyu and not by the Somalis.

3. Our homeland is one of the poorest in the world and we are still dependent on others for our survival so setting up financial centres in other countries is a pipe dream.

4. The economies of Ethiopia and Kenya are growing fast so do not underestimate our neighbours. They had proven to be more capable than the ignorant tribal-minded nomad.

Brother I don't want to get ahead of myself here, nothing I said is possible if the republic remains in shambles. Ultimately this concept Should be seen as a future alternative to our failed military campaigns

We know what Somalis are capable of economically. From Minnesota, Columbus, Kampala Nairobi, Dubai we've literally taken over the informal markets. Obviously we're not in a position today to talk business on that scale. You don't see this in the future though?

Nudawn, those places do not need the interference of the Somali Republic or its citizens; let the locals determine their own destiny. If they wish to fight, as they are doing in S/galbed let them do it; if they integrate like NFD, good for them. Somali Republic should concentrate on itself.

somalis already integrated to these economies regardless of gov't and with their enterpreneurship can take ova when dust settles down.It's good as well for our neighbors who can tap to our coast and eradicates any political or border disagreements.Can work to the benefit of both,the way it should be.
