irrigation is not an industry nor roads
one is Technology that enhances Agriculture the other is a social ammenity.
Industry is
Tourism
Livestock
Agriculture
Mining

U can still move around without paved roads, getting the agriculture booming again would be much more beneficial and roads would develop out of that, not the other way around

Thats right we should infact ensure each region in the south grows a different crop and we trade on it
You see before the civil war in Somalia
NEP Garissa had a river and the somalsi did not utilize its benefits today they have acquired irrigation skills and thank to this the grow crops that feed almsot the entire region while they also export some perishable goods abroad.

Transport - Somali is a big piece of land and whoever gets the job of connecting all those cities will be very well off. All forms Road/Rail/Air/Water (I think all we have right now is Daalo)
Textile - Currently people actually export baati from Somalia however a lot could be done.
Real Estate/Construction - Not sure if there are any established real estate/construction firms to deal with the amount of building and refurbishment that is going to be happening in the years to come. There will be new homes, government buildings, offices, banks, and entire city centres that need building. It would be nice to see Somali firms take on the work instead of employing foreign talent.
