[AbrahamFreedom]

Djibouti Somalians are poorer than Somalia Somalians. Poverty there is extreme.

Somalia Somalians?!?!?

We are all cut from the same cloth. Somali should suffice

On another note, poverty is mainly severe in Djibouti due to the exorbitant living cost. One of the most expensive African country.

Someone needs to liberate that small country through a revolution. Imagine the official languages being French & Arabic when 80% of the population is native Somali Ismaacil Omar Guelleh Naclatullahi Alaykh

If xamar had better roads and plumbing they would've been on the same level. Mashallah love to see Djbouti develop

I hate this psyop that Djiboutians are different from the rest of Somaliaweyn. Nigga we are the same peope. I as a somalilander recognise that. Why tf does dijiboutians feel like they are so higher class than us. You guys never faces a single civil war. Your only problem is severe corruption. Djiboutians are starving for no good reason.

I swear this must be the side effect of getting colonised by the french, because you see the same effect from Lebanon in the Arab world.

Somalia needs to pull a Russia-Crimea moment in the future.

But they do not die of starvation like the Somalis in Somalia

Not much of an achievement when your nation never experienced civil war.

Never go outside the vicinity of Camp Lemonnier after dark, especially if you're a scrawny 5'4 Somali male, French "people" are truly a degenerative cancer.

Omg I love Djibouti, it was so refreshing to go there after I was in Somalia, I can get a Djibouti passport easily cuz my grandfather was a colonel in the Djiboutian army, im investing in building a house there cuz that’s the only Somali country I will ever retire

 

[Hotchick12]

Anyway Djibouti need to open up because I’m sure diaspora Somalis want to own a villa by sea with all the same amenities they have in the west, it could be a great holiday destination, I don’t know why they aren’t accessible to other Somalis

 

[absame100]

Djibouti has a poverty rate of 79%.

79%! in a country with no terrorism or security issues.

All these hotels and malls are owned by the dictator and his cronies.

 

[Qeelbax]

Djibouti could’ve been the better part of Somaliweyn, they could’ve been Africa’s Monaco. Damn you Omar!

 

[Cartan Boos]

jabuuti has zero excuses to be poor

 

[GaradShabeel]

Djibouti has 0 potential outside of its strategic location the country is desolate and hell.

Partially true, but if you're creative there're plenty of lucrative opportunities.

For instance, a couple of months ago, they signed a $1B agreement with a Hong Kong based space company to build a satellite and rocket launch site over there.

Even though most of the country is barren land, they can focus on industrial sectors. And if their leaders were competent and not corruption-induced, they could turn Djibouti (essentially a city-state) into a regional financial hub as well as expand the service sector. As much of a stretch it may sound, look at Singapore for inspiration. Such as lowering their taxes, and become a regional tax-haven by attracting investors that otherwise would have opted for other countries. Another key ambition would be, to limit import and invest in the country to not depend on foreign country for basic needs.

Despite the hot arid land, they can outsource it for renewable energy sources. They already have several projects going on (solar, wind and geothermal), and aiming at becoming fully reliant on clean energy by 2030, followed by exporting it afterwards. They're already engaged in minerals, albeit limited, which they can accelerate and exploit their mining further.

After all, it doesn't require much to make sure that a country with barely a million inhabitants to reach a middle-income status and beyond. Unfortunately, they have had a stagnation or a slow economic growth lately. Much of it caused by their politicians ineptness.
