[quote="Alchemist"][quote="Mr. Yungnfresh"]For everyone who said they would go back, how about the massive adjustment you'd have to make? The technology in Africa in general is not close to what it is in the West and simple things like drinking water straight from the tap wouldn't be possible (you have to boil the water back home before drinking it or you can get sick since under 30% of Somalia has safe drinking water), not to mention all the hazardous waste dumped in our country during the last 17 years...also, the entertainment industry is virtually non-existant compared to here, which we're all used to on a daily basis[/quote]
Sxb trust me if there is any peace all those things you mentioned can be resolved within the first couple of years.. Plus a lot of private companies will rise from all over the place to bring you all the things your used to here in the west, satellite tv, internet and clean water.
If anything the biggest problem would be the people.. I dont know if you have been to Somalia lately but the people are a headache.. They love to get into people's personal lives and they ask way too many question..People who you just met couple of hours ago will ask if they can use your password. Their prideful and hard headed. These are people who have had no government for the last 17 years.. They pick their noise in public while trying to hold your hand..
But anything is better than raising our kids in a kafir country..[/quote]
looooooooooooooooool at picking nose and holding hand. But I agree 100%. All the problems with the sanitation, clean water etc. can be improved to livable levels very early. Inshallah it is in my plans to move back to Somalia one day, teach Quran etc. but I also want to be able to improve the lives of people there while I'm there, and that will get me the admiration of people there and they'll listen to me when I tell them to do good things. A series of good, sound projects to imporve the quality of life for people there would be my goal and I have some preperation to undergo before I'm able to do something of that magnitude.
