Somalia has opened up factories of every kind from steel mils, cement, concrete, various building materials, pipes/wires, grain mills, beverages, bottles, various food, agricultural and dairy processors, aluminum, plastics , construction machinery, boat factories, paper, foam, furniture, pharmaceuticals etc
I go through some live video examples in this thread:
There probably is more small-medium sized manufacturing facilities today than during the Kacaan period which there was 50.
Today it's probably more than 100 nation wide. The business directory list 90 of them.

Manufacturing

In Mogadishu alone in a report from 2018 it was said to have had 25 factories and 33 industrial facilities.
Manufacturer's have actually banned together to form cooperative industry association nationwide

Kinda reminds me of how the many micro grids and energy plants banded together to form cooperatives/companies like BECO and others. They provide rapid resource mobilization and training and technical development locally. They don't outsource expertise or skills, they employ local people.
It's pretty much diaspora and local companies funding them. This is actually remarkable achievement because Somalia lost virtually every single industry in 91 collapse and had to build it all up again on their own without the heavy foreign financing capital.
Now they are able to manufacture diverse things that cater to domestic local communities.
We know Somalia imports pharmaceuticals. We discussed this already.
It is unregulated like 70% of it but i don't think 95% of it is fake or sourced from a single place like India. It comes from many different place, most actually come from Turkey, so its why they are targeted for import substitution.
Other import places being Sweden and Germany.
I don't expect oil and natural resources to fix the political situation in Somalia. It could be useful to speed up infrastructure development which requires massive coordination of capital investment.
But we don't really need it in the immediate sense. Somalia receives 3 billion in remittances every year that acts as investment vehicle which is more than African countries recieve in FDI and the local capital formation is big enough that the Private-Public partnership can happen where the private sector has the ability to fund infrastructure projects in many hundreds of millions.
Telecom is a key sector in all economies and vital in driving growth sector in every economy. It is literally the backbone of moder connectivity and living.
The telecom industry is at the forefront of cybersecurity efforts, developing technologies to safeguard networks and prevent cyberattacks.

Hormuud employs 33.000 people in Somalia. They are all local engineers and operators.
Do you honestly believe they are shipping in 30k Chinese and Indians and scatter them across the country to work? No.
You can go to their websites and social media see who's working for them, just like the construction companies it's just local Somalis. They have branches all over Somalia and contribute to the creation employment oppurtunities.
Infact they have a whole faculty where they train and educate the engineers which they end up employing.

Also it does not matter what you say or think either because the global community recognizes innovation and technological advances by the Telecom sector in Somalia as they even hand out awards to them where they beat out global competitors.
Ahmed Mohamed Yusuf, the Chairman of Hormuud Telecom, has been named the Leader of the Year 2023 for Global Telecoms by Total Telecom, a UK-based company that recognizes the achievements of the tel…

Yenisom is Turkish drugmaker in Mogadishu and they make them in Somalia so you are wrong about that. They operate out of a Somali owned and run pharmeutical factory and it is aimed at import substitution, instead of importing them directly from Turkey they make same drugs locally.

I always wonder though what the end game for troll accounts like you is. After you create fake accounts to peddle deliberate nonsense and pop in randomly to throw a fit do you hope that it miraculously changes the reality on the gound? Do people become what you say they are.
Or is it in order to trigger or rage bait or whatever you internet basement dweebs like you like to call it? Does it improve your life situation some how?
It's quite ironic how you guys herp about hopium, optimism or copium iyo pill this and that when it actuality yall are loser who either gave up on life or to afraid to go out there and live. You are scared of facing up to reality and spend time projecting onto people that do live and who are not to afraid to embrace the success and hardships and the risks, achievements and struggles that come with living.
