YOU SEEM TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO SOMALIA
-> I try.
WHAT SORT OF A SOMALIA WUOLD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN 20YEARS?
-> An Islamic agrarian-based state under the leadership of Al-Shabaab.
WHAT TYPE OF A GOVERMENT WOULD YOU SUPPORT?
-> An isolationist fundamentalist Islamist regime that believes in a strong focus on domestic energy for growth self-sufficiency.
WHAT TYPE OF A NATIONAL IMAGE WOULD SIUT SOMALIA?
-> A self-sufficient country and even our more affluent neighbors envy in terms of life quality and efficiency, we won't have raw money or fancy buildings but we'll have a much healthier population with access to necessities.
WHAT SORT OF AN ECONOMY WOULD SOMALIS ADAPT BEST WITH?
-> Agrarian/resource-based; grains would be the most widely-used form of currency, for example corn and rice would have little value while millet and sorghum would be very high currency; banks would start up in the form of grain silos (storage), banks would collect fees in the form of grain (for every 10 pounds of grain you store at the bank, 1 pound goes to bank or so). If someone wants to buy a radio they must bring a certain amount of grain that its worth, and if there's too much currency in the economy or "grain inflation" (lol) it just means that everyone is producing too much food, which is actually great, its a win-win economy!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST SHOULD SOMALIA JUST HAVE A FRESH START AND ALSO A NEW CAPITAL?
-> Keep things the way they are in the sense of location, just bridge the gaps of every community and address their problems, take it where the pre-'91 regime left off and fix things as you go along, reverse the effects of civil war.
I am dead serious about that. If it has to be me that will enforce those economic measures I will not hesitate to do my part. That is the only way for Somalia to become a great nation. We don't need to play catch-up with the rest of the world in vain like our African neighbors, we need to follow a local and homegrown approach to our problems. We don't need to start from the 70s or the industrial era, no need to play catch-up because we'll never catch up that way, we need to walk our own way and people will start to ask about us.
