Foreign countries buying up acres of farmland in African countries.
21st century "African land rush"
- Thread starter Khaemwaset
- Start date
At least no one buying our stuff, Africa is gonna get significantly richer since the Russo Ukrainian war. All the oil conglomerates and European leaders have gone to places like Senegal , Nigeria, Mozambique to diversify their oil imports while decoupling from Russia. There’s gonna be an African superpower in the next 3 decades and now is a great opportunity for us to grow. The secret oil deal HSM signed in London is probably to do with meeting their oil needs. I hope There’s a clause that allows us to reinvest in the British military industrial complex so we get euro fighters, challenger 2s etc, but I’m more fussed about having autonomy over our government cuz there’s no doubt he fucked us with the deal he got to enrich himself

More like there's no security. If you buy from Ethiopia or Kenya you can simply bribe local officials to let you do whatever and they'll enforce the locals to stand by. It happens even on camera in many documentary. But in Somalia it's not so simple, the local warlord or Al shabab or clan milita would just bomb the land and do what they want and there's little the "investors" can do about it.
At least they serve as a deterrent for corruption even though they fuckin everything up

Yo
They wont really buy somali lands considering the security situation.

It’s better for us to have autonomy over our lands, privatisation of resources has always been a bad decision long term for nations. Just look at the UK they privatised their rail water etc and it’s way more expensive. If we nationalise our resources we can export them for a fair market price while retaining all of the profit and since the global population is increasing the price of food is gonna soar so we’re in for a lucrative market. I’m pro Somali only business to protect our consumers and industries. That way even if someone’s struggling the government can provide food cheap as part of a benefits package to help citizens cope but privatisation would kill that
We should use the new oil deal to start up extremely lucrative businesses such as uranium extraction, diamond mining, gold mining, That way we can use the revenue to invest strictly into Somali business, we have more than enough arable land and coastline to feed our nations and others.
Djibouti already getting that land in Malawi
