Crumbling Infrastructure

[Barkhadle1520]

This is in Borama but its the same all over Somalia, this happens more often than you think, the poor infrastructure is really crumbling

Basic public services are maintained and managed by small private firms or sometimes a single indiividual, this is also a problem in healthcare where you got overpriced private hospitals with fake middle eastern doctors, reer hargeisa especially will know

There is a real lack in basic public services like garbage collection too, which is managed by small overpriced private companies in mogadishu

Here is an example of the consequences, you will see the calmest neighborhoods with nice homes etc but theres gonna be trash all over, its not as bad as other african countries or india but still polluting the landscape nonetheless

Look at how the power lines are nearly tipped over, really chaotic old grids that were made super fast decades ago

But when they do fix everything and pave the dagax roads the neighborhoods look so nice, I hope this will be the norm one day

From personal experience I can say when I was in hargeisa, you couldnt go out without a strong flashlight or phone light to go pray fajr or isha because there were 2-3 cables which you literally had to jump over on the way to the masjid, I wish I took a picture

If you dont know what job to chose, be an electrician, its probably one of the most wanted jobs in somaliweyn but fair warning it requires strong hands

Somali governments are really useless when it comes to providing public services

The Somali government can hardly pay the civil servants their wages, you think they can provide a proper infrastructure, everything is done by the private sector and they’ll cut corners to maximize profits since there’s no oversight to do quality control.

Idk if im waffling here but all across somaliweyn and africa in general i do not like those exposed power lines that look tangled asf. It looks dangerous asf and they arent high enough in the sky for me.

In Mogadishu more houses are starting to adopt fibre so its underground and less houses have power cables and it makes the xaafads look much more cleaner and neater. It will definitely be the norm in the next 10 years

If cables are going underground they might as well build sewage/drainage systems too (governmentwise)

Im pretty sure developped countries have them underground but that wouldnt work with how somalis build stuff

I think they plan on doing it
