Childhood vision of Somalia now starting to make sense (whats to come)

[manosi789]

Me and my asian and west african and a somali friend started a cooperative last year but it failed to pick up, the rules and regulations we created and company codes were worth atleast 40 -45 pages,i decided to dust the shelves and pick up the big combination of papers, reading them and highlighting key points for weeks, after giving up and sleeping then waking up to pray fajr, it hit me! this... this idea as if from some eternal thing fell on me like a cascade of stairs of what i truly am meant for in life and what all those shitty dreams of somalia as a kid were.I went to my collegues later on, they laughed at first but after some convincing and drawing charts etc...they hopped on the bandwagon and we hatched this idea of a new people a new spirit, its still in its infancy but with few connections in the homeland that i personally have and also some collegues have, we can make it go forward if we put in the work.I suffered through much depression and addiction before i got this vision as vivid as it can be in the freezing fajr morning,since then i didnt relapse, no depression nothing... and have been focused if thats not a sign of something divine i dont know , Ya Allah grant me victory in this mission,for now its better dead than leave this path granted to me out of the darkness in the service of Allah.

idea we had for the past weeks---:

we were planning to start a cooperative first online/local then international consisting of various engineering fields, we use this union of engineers to demand better wages for our projects or ideas ( this cooperative idea is very common btw around the world), by the experience we gain we can build the baseline and funding for our grander plan which is a khan academy like online resource that combines and digitizes the hundreds of old somali books of knowledge i.e 1960 and before - civil war, so that from this basic idea of what a future and better education system for somali might look like we can research the worlds education systems and find the fundamental reason some nations succeed more than others its all based on the childs upbringing, we will also make sure we make the somali language as easy as pie and make the average somali child inahsallah as fluent in the language as possible. I think i may have some prototyoes for the script i planned with my fellow enginner (mechanical) for an updated somali script.This project might be idealistic at the current moment but itll take time and effort because once we have the idea and understanding of masab(figure this out if u can) we can throw it out there for fellow motivated somalis regardless of their station in life to input their knowledge.

"Our system once done will be able to give free internet based education to children across somaliweyn and in remote areas, we'll figure out ways in doing so, step by step we intellectuals will lay the groundwork for
first our committe's foundation and future,
second the basic foundation for our childrens future and
third, the future for the even grander plan of the peoples committee,
for when the scholars are with us the warriors will listen and the people will adhere".

Sorry if it doesnt make sense, im not much of ingiriiz person, and no, judging from my post im no radical socialist or communist just a firm believer in the greater good and the sanctity of the people.Like all things it will take time and no amount of wishing will change whats before u so dont stand in ur house in the middle of the day dreaming of a great nation when u can actually open ur eyes and see one .

I wont post about this topic for a long while or never but i wanted to show u guys what my current plans are. We shall need u and other somalis' help later.
Allah will grant us victory in our pursuits for our people inshallah, the council will not give up and is determined to the end.

Thank u very much for providing your ideas and we need more of your type of Somali that comes with a plan then constantly reporting on the news like journalist, they report/demean/but provide not a single alternative similar to the rebel groups who demeaned siyad but provided no better alterternative themselve which is not constructive criticism whatsoever but purely criticism for emotion and other un-natural criticism styles that do not produce solutions but leave u in worse state afterwards.

I read what u said are u saying we should create a 'hub of knowledge' and use 'internet n mobile technology to deliver' it? I won't disagree that knowledge center is critical in Somalia this is the biggest absent area of society, no knowledge center will lead to no skills and no skills leads to no economy well unless it's primitive economy like farming/livestocks/fishery and so forth. Unskilled people are paid the worst across the board because it's not 'rare' skill needed in the market. The only reason camel livestock has become 'priced well' is due to the 'small' supply that exist worldwide and they have the market for themselves, where-as agriculture/fishery industry is total different story and over-supplied. Knowledge creates human capital and the quality of knowledge is another big one as people will want the best for their investment

I would like start by thanking you for sharing this wonderful initiative with us, it is indeed very altruistic. But one large issue will remain once you complete the hub where Somali children can learn, the access to computers/internet. Only a small minority have access to internet, the majority down south don't even know what a computer means, and if you try explaining what the internet is, you will get called crazy. You're going to need an enterprise where you can provide these children with computers and internet. Obviously with how charitable your idea is, I'm sure you will not struggle raising a few hundred thousand just from GoFundMe. I know I'm willing to donate however much as long as I know it will go directly to helping those who need it. Once you micromanage whatever fellow somalis have donated, you can make a report of this and provide it to various NGOs across the world who will provide you with millions, yes you heard that correctly, millions of dollars to increase your outreach. These millions are nothing compared to what various countries spend on Somalia, yet we still barely see any actual result.

I'm a computer science grad myself, so feel free to run any idea by me if you feel like. I may not look it, but I do have a lot to contribute and share as a PhD.

Children are joining Al-Shabab due to lack of skills as well as lack of knowledge and education. You'll see a grown man my age who isn't able to read. So if you make this work and it actually does have an impact, I think you may have solved one of the largest issues in Somalia. An educated individual, regardless up to what level is a little more difficult to convince to join a terrorist organisation or take a life for without questioning their action.

Currently one of our main issues is how long we can keep it going not how much funding we should get, money will come when we have absolute trust and absolute knowledge of where we are going. As we are thinking of ways to form a stable , serious and stoic organisation that does not faulter in its ways, as u know many somali organistions are not run efficiently and are run without extensive planning.


and yes sxb i agree very much you'd be surprised how many somali children are without education in not only remote areas but even the refugee camps that have access to internet. All we need is after we are through with the long process of planning etc... we will want massive amount of funding either from this idealistic organisation(through money we make ourselves) or we somehow manage to convince the people/ngo's to donate.

Also Ngo's are masks that foreign intelligencia hide behind, they might see us as a threat so i dont think its smart to approach them unless we pretend to be a minor ngo that is well connected and non-political, also they dont care if ure greedy and corurpt as they think they can use u to beg for more funding from their countries/organisations, whereby they take a good amount of the money.

The first people we will reach will be in the urban and fairly connected areas in somalia/somaliland, kenya and the galbeed. Then in later years, we move on to the more far flung and hard to reach areas if possible.
