Societal progress is often the result of a collective effort, where a country mobilizes its population towards a shared goal. Typically, societies strive to provide opportunities for 80% of the population, with 10% excelling and another 10% struggling to maintain stability. Today, with innovations like Open AI, iPhone, and the Internet, knowledge and learning are democratized, and individuals can achieve remarkable economic output equivalent to that of companies with hundreds of employees in the past.
With approximately 80% of Somalia's population under the age of 35, the country has the potential for rapid industrialization, as is the case with many nations with a similar age structure. However, this potential is being squandered due to inadequate leadership that fails to provide even the most basic needs to its citizens, such as access to running water, electricity, food, and a skill-based education.
It's bewildering that access to basic necessities and education is still a challenge in today's world. We must demand that our leaders prioritize the welfare of their people and not settle for anything less than excellence.
