how come the 'hard working people' don't make Garcad or Xaafun, Maydh, Las Qorey like Bosaso.
Because the people in those areas aren't hard working to begin with - not everyone is hard working, that's why Garowe and Cabudwaaq were both villages 20 years ago but Garowe is a city today and Cabudwaaq is still a village. Infrastructure doesn't mean anything, Berbera has more infrastructure than Bosaso but Bosaso is more successful, Eastleigh has almost no infrastructure but is the highest-earning neighborhood in Nairobi outside the central business district. Even in the diaspora, some clans are more organized and have more businesses than others everywhere you go and yet all Somalis have equal opportunities in diaspora. Somalia only had a government for 30 years out of its entire history and 30 years doesn't mean shit. MJs always had seafaring trade with Oman, Hadramut, Bombay and faraway places. The truth is that some clans mastered organization and networking long ago while others have not - that's the only difference. Take MJs to Gedo today and they will accomplish more with all the agriculture than any Marexaan ever could dream of. If MJs went to Belet Xawo today it would be the Gaalkacyo of SW Somalia and NFD.
