How many of these are riba slavery y schemes , Allah knows
Maybe it’s for the best
It's a study from 2019.
I’m saying we can raise those billions ourselves without relying on foreign investment.
Do you even realize how many billions are already being invested informally across the country outside of any government budget or donor funding?
Now imagine if that kind of private and diaspora capital was actually organized and channeled into a proper national development fund. Roads, infrastructure, and even energy could be funded internally.
It’s not delusional , it’s untapped potential. What’s lacking isn’t the money, it’s the structure and coordination.
Anways i'll make this my very last post here. It’s something I’ll continue to advocate for elsewhere.

Good luck man
What I’m proposing isn’t new, other countries have done it. Even South Korea, after the Korean War, mobilized its diaspora to fund industry and development.
-Somalia’s diaspora sends $3B annually.
-60% of remitters already invest back home ($5K–$50K+, some even $100K).
-Local business groups are already funding roads, schools, and housing.
-Mobile money data shows billions circulating within the economy.
All we need now is a centralized fund and the right mechanisms to scale it. Trust me on this.
I’m not saying we should never accept foreign investment or donor support but we shouldn’t be dependent on it either.
This is not likely to happen, people just invest in their own home towns mainly
I don't know why you keep going back and forth with him, he's definitely still trolling as usual.

@Barkhadle1520 has healthy skepticism. He’s not wrong about the budget constraints the government faces since tax collection remains low, and yes, we need billions in concentrated capital to fund large-scale infrastructure projects. He’s also right that most developing nations typically need to rely on foreign investment, loans, donor financing, or extraordinary natural resources like oil, gas, or mining to gain that capital.
But what I’m saying is that Somalia is a unique exception.
There's skepticism and then theres constant whining. It's like your arguing with a toddler. Have realistic expectations, not everything will happen fast.
Let’s keep the discussion respectful and focused on ideas, not individuals. He’s far from a toddler, he’s a sharp brother, and I’ve honestly learned a lot from these exchanges.
At the core of it, I believe his views come from wanting to see Somalia and Somalis succeed and live up to their full potential. That’s something I respect
@Neptune See ? Macalimad said Im smart and youre dumb you loser
