Somalia Admitted into EAC

[Hilmaam]

This will be great for Somali investors in East Africa.


I'm looking into buying up agricultural land in Kenya and Tanzania

This is what I am most curious about. In the past Kenya had law that foreigners could only own land for 99 years max. A lot of Somalis have contracts like this even when building hotels and spending millions. They still see it as good investment and getting all their money back and then some but sucks that eventually next generations won’t be able to pass down that real estate hopefully this changes that

in Kenya your land is leased basically you're a tenant and the state being the landlord.

Probably not,
Otherwise the Congo would be empty right about now lol

I doubt other regions moving to Somalia. Not enough jobs and security for the move. I think it’s more likely Somali’s move abroad for more opportunities funded by diaspora money. Thanks to remittance many Somalis with family abroad have more opportunities and purchasing power than many other Africans .

Very interesting development

For some this is the end of the world while others are over the moon. Personally I'll reserve judgment but I do hope that we can leave whenever or negotiate the best deal for us.

So if Somalia joins EAC tomorrow me as a Somali Citizen can just move to Kenya and get a residence permit on arrival and can stay there indefinitely and be able to work and start a business?

You can eventually travel and visit visa free. If starting business or seeking employment you will need permit

It’s over if this is true. Why the heck is an Arab state joining the EAC?

Djibouti is quickly becoming the last hope for Somalis.

It's game over for the Maretine resources for the Arab Republic of Somalia.

So does this mean they could exploit our natural resources if given a permit? E.g drill oil etc

hes right. arabs generally leave somalis alone. ethiopia and kenya are like vultures that respawn.

Somalia is an Arab state, it’s a reality you can’t run away from.

Are you sure?

Our fellow Arabs backed us against Kenya during the maritime dispute, read this article: Arab Parliament Condemns Kenya

It’s mind boggling that HSM wants the country to join an enemy bloc.
