Answer to Mogadishu and Hargasisas Unemployment problem

[Grigori Rasputin]

The locals are incredibly lazy and demand khat and money upfront and then don't work. Some even expect you to put them on payroll for being a clan relative while not even being there. I know a guy who lost his life savings starting a factory due to the lazy locals who fleeced him. He looks dead inside. I couldn't believe what he told me. The diaspora are naive about business prospects in Somalia. There is a reason why diaspora only open hotels and a cafe there and then run it themselves or with immediate family. There's also a reason why business people are importing ajnabis to work in their businesses, alongside the traditional workers the Somali Bantus.

The solution to the unemployment problem there is to stop being lazy, stop being addicted to khat, and be honest workers.

unfortunately this is true. Very true.

pretty sure making garment and stuff is looked really low in Somalia, idk about hargeisa but I know my family would curse me out if I asked them to in Mogadishu to do it

Somalis would rather starve than do a "low-level" job.

yup, I know this guy who started his own business and would help with the designing of the clothes, along with his madow and indian worker and his friend recorded him jokingly sent it to his family, no joke they threatened to cut him off if he ever did that again and shamed them

It seems that the person recording was not his friend. And the family only cared about how other people see them. Ignorance from both. You should never let the words of foolish people stop you from pursuing your aspirations in a halal way.

South Asians are definitely the real threat , because they’re coming with capital and skills, there needs to be legislation that regulates their movements and can only start business with a Somali partners

I like this thread. You are trying to bring solutions instead of dwelling on issues alone. Our people need to be trained on what a good work ethic is. Some of our people have normalized mediocrity and shamed hard work in jobs that seem demeaning to them.
