Somalia due to it's location has had to adapt and change due to new global world orders using our maritime to conduct their trade or security as far back as ancient egypt era.

As Somali-wayn we have intimidate knowledge of Ethiopia and Kenya needs and it's priority to the west thru Ogaden Influencing. We know the Khaleej also.

We got Colonial history with France, UK, Italy and can tap into that to understand their needs. We have ancient contact with India, China and Modern Contact with Russia and China in the Cold war. Our largest diaspora is in America also and western countries.

What African country has all that capabiliy but Somalia, why can't we sell this to Africans that their growth is welcome and supported by Somalia as Somalia will benefit and grow also, if they don't grow, we don't grow.

But I am afraid zero sum is so embedded in our culture at a SOCIAL level even in FKD, this will also mean our politicians are going to be the same.

For example my father was a diplomat in China and could provide advice how to gear our foreign policy to china thru win-win not zero sum(anti chinese culture). China isn't interested in any zero-sum risk and wants mutual benefits and they prefer 'long term outlook' not 'short term' or unreliable partners who change kastumo.

China doesn't have a hostile world view outside it's immediate neighborhood as any world power is like Russia and Ukraine or America with Cuba(still sanctions). Those countries around world super power location can be a blessing or curse depending on their political capital.
