We need positive relations with all our neighbors tbh. Whatever political grievances we have with them, now is not the time to bring those up. Hopefully we can solve our issues through diplomatic means in the future. We don't need more instability.
We also do need international partners, let's keep it real. Turkey has its own agenda, but has been very useful in helping to train the Somali army as well as investing in the country. The khaleej is our biggest trade partner, but we need to start looking elsewhere. They cannot be trusted (the UAE was backing Kenya to annex a huge chunk of our maritime territory in the ICJ, we're still fighting that bogus claim, and this is likely to drag on for years to come). We export tons of livestock, Frankincense etc to the khaleej annually at prices that are far below market value. They've been screwing us for decades and taking advantage of our weaknesses.
If we get our shyt together, provide security for our people, neutralize shabaab and clan leaders, invest in key industries like fishing, agriculture, develop our ports, natural gas and oil exploration, we could get very far in 10-20 years. We're only like 15 million people, we have more than enough resources to sustain ourselves and build a strong economy.
We're our own worst enemies tho
Muhfukkas are fighting over scraps like animals when we have so many untapped resources
I'm very optimistic tho. Looks like ppl have finally had enough of the bullshyt.
Although I'm of the opinion that Somalis need a strong leader and cannot function under a democratic rule. We're too stubborn and individualistic.
