if you want to be serious, then look this up yourself.
the revenue of somalia in the 80's was based on livestock exported by northerners, specifically from Burco and Berbera.

until the saudis switched over to Asutralian imports in 86 somalia exported $200 million a years. $200 million in the 80's was fukloads of money and equivalent to nearly a $500 million of todays dollars.

This was becuase siyads stupid interferance in the banana and sugar farms that destryoed thier prodcution. in the early 80's they were producing the same as they were in 1960, no improvment no change.

Gurey,

Thanks for the response! What about in terms of producing for the country's needs, what role did the North play? How much of tax revenues did they generate?

this is a thirdworld country, tax gathering even the very state itself is shakey.

Siads attempt at getting more control over this revenue was a major factor in the SNM.

Siyad Barre abused my waqooyi cousins

"wax soo saarka"

What does the "Wax" stands for? Do you mean veggies and fruits?

Anyways, I don't think there was anything of significance that any region produced in the old days. It was all mini-scale and premitive.

But if you talk about the potential for "Wax soo saar" in any given region, then I think the old Waqooyi Galbeed would've ranked somewhere in the top both in human-resources (Brains) and natural resources.

Kun-Dile,

Wax soo saar can mean: produce, livestock, minerals, oil, gems, skilled laborers, etc. Having been raised in the south, I know very little about the North's contribution to Somalia, I know about fishing processing plants in Qandala, but what about other stuff?

Gurey,

Tax collection was a very difficult task to achieve in Somalia, but it was collected nevertheless.

[natural resources]
Like what?

gurey25,

True Story. My dad was pretty close to Siad Barre and he told me one of the things that angered the Isaaq was the fact that the government tried to gain tighter control of the Berbera imports/exports. Before that, the Isaaq were not angry because of the lucrative livestock import/exports.

Siad Barre listened to the advice of the then Finance Minister Cadow.

My dad said he's the one who advised that, and it was pretty much one of the worst advice he was given.

That was one of the things that helped create the SNM.


That and the Qaat.........another BIG MISTAKE.

GB,

Siyaad's mistake was with surrounding himself with unfit men who often times misled him. The same can be said of any dictator (Saddam also comes to mind). Khaat has always been the root cause downfall of many rulers, more recently the UIC perhaps?
