No. Somalia & Sub-Saharan Africa will be extremely lucky to hit Upper Middle income (Current Brazil/Thailand) in my lifetime. There's a ceiling to what you can do by relying on agriculture/services.

The thing is, Real development & industrialization to get to a first world quality of life is overall, always a brutal and a disgusting process, and nations which refuse to go through that, ultimately become India. Which is where Africa will head in the future. No African State is strong/centralized enough to do what South Korea & China did and turn the population into slaves of the state to produce capital.

Industrialization in nearly all countries, worsened health, and wages did not increase at all for decades. Nobody would tolerate this slavery, and that is why blood was needed. Industrial development only gives back to workers after decades, and workers and peasants will constantly revolt, as in Japan and Korea until there is development.

Freedom is incompatible with Industrialization, you either need to brutalize your own people (USSR, China) or have colonies to brutalize and help you subsidize your own process (Japan).

Agreed.

Sometimes I wish there was a dictator for Somalis that would beat them into shape and heavily punish any Qabil for stepping even a little out of line. What Somalis need is not kindness, but merciless and ruthless force

Have you by any chance ignored Somalia's history?

Your description fits into the actions of MSB.

Dictatorship --> Marginalization -> Oppression --> Systematic violence against opponents, politicians and civilians alike --> Intentional massacres/genocide & atrocities against clans --> State collapse.

We all know what followed suit, ever since the 90s.

Somalia shall not ever, repeat that misstake again.
No to the glorification & revival of dictatorship/authoritarianism.
