[Barkhadle1520]

Sxb why are you so negative all of a sudden? This is Somalispot, sharing news about Somalia however small or big is fine.

Its not flexing I'm doing, its showing what trends are happening in Somalia. If any praise is to be done, it would how Somalia is managing itself with barely any foreign investment.

Somalia is a country run by foreign investment

 

[Idilinaa]

Thinking on this, I wonder if this figure ignores the nomads in Somalia as well in which case it the access could be lower than 50%. @Idilinaa what do you think?

It's actually 61% nationally and 80% urban but these are stats from 2022-2023. It is lower in rural areas which is around 40%. which is what brings down the total to 61%

It's higher than than that overall now though since we are in 2025 there has been soo many expansion projects 2023-2025.

It's still is an amazing achievement because consider Somalia only had electricity access of 15% in 2012.

How they did it:

The government is yeah but industries such as electricity and telecommunications are mainly funded by Somalis.

whats puntland's and koonfur equivalent of sompower

whats puntland's and koonfur equivalent of sompower

BECO is the largest energy provider in Koonfur. NECSOM is puntlands largest energy provider. But there are many different ESPS.

But yeah we should give credit where credit is due , at the same time we can work to bridge the gap between the private sector and public sector.

Burkina Faso made 4B$ from gold exports in 2023

Lets compare that to Somali states revenue/budget

FGS revenue in 2023 : 738M$

View attachment 365420

Puntland in 2023 : 376M$

View attachment 365421

Somaliland in 2023 : 358M$

View attachment 365422

And Djibouti is approximately 500M$

If you add all these its still 2B$

Burkina Faso has around the same population than Somalia and don't pull the Al shabaab excuse cause they're in a similar situation

Ibrahim Traore took over in 2022 and gold revenues have gone even higher up since they nationalized other gold mines in 2024

This highlights the failure that is Somalia's government, what were they doing since 2004 (or 2012 depending who you ask)

Im leaning towards the idea that Somalia cant be saved, the south is a shitshow and theyre just dragging other somalis down with them

as well as their uranium profits and other metals

 

[Barkhadle1520]

as well as their uranium profits and other metals

I wonder if we have any sizeable uranium, diamond or gold potential

Cant find a single good estimate online

 

[Neptune]

Traore is a special leader. He's setting the standard for Africa. In just 2 years he's made Burkina Faso $100 trillion in wealth

Wow, I don't know how he does it. They need to protect him, his ideas will save the continent.

Half the country cant read and almost half have food insecurity. But your right he is the greatest African leader alive.

People like you make me laugh. Traore is planning on creating the United States of Africa and you're talking about some nonsense like food insecurity. Respectfully, stay in your lane.

Africa has the potential, sadly it's been divided, anytime there has been some sort of unification attempt is thanks to Russia/China interfencance that it's succeeded, within a block or country it's be twarted by the eu or us, the best chance of Africa state to form properly the west being to busy, atm ECOWAS can form and manage itself due to Russia and China interference against US/EU interferenace.
