@RasCanjero @Cadmus
We are mostly on the same page here, as I stated before I don't support any overt measures, that's absolute suicide, I find the reactionary school of thought utterly grotesque, I am of the covert munafiq school of thought when dealing with infidels or hostile enemies with more power.
Our difference is really on the plan and implementations, 'Ras' opinions is to sit back and wait for the empty bone to be thrown at us (may take 50 years) and 'cad' opinion is to court this mythical 'investment' and take it up the ass, no one will come with investment unless you sell out for the next 100 years and even then we are not very attractive to begin with when it comes to investment (which is a blessing)
The Chinese example doesn't fit here, they already had self-sufficiency and didn't need to bend over but did so due to imperial dreams and greed, but their method of great Munafiqnimo covert Art of War philosophy I am a great fan off!, that's what I am essentially arguing for.
We don't need the 500 million grain silo's yet, that's a big leap, we haven't even got the basics down, we hardly have the population for such silos, the purpose of my post was not defeatist but rather understanding how this war is being waged because when you do understand this only then can you fight back effectively, if anything the defeatists are you guys.
Instead of Kheyre courting investment, his short term focus should be security and conquering the nearby fields in Afgooye, this alone will create employment, we have the money for this, we are in the midst of a currency crisis, without security and control over food production (short/medium term goal) good luck solving that.
This talk about HSM getting 1 billion is fake news, you have lost your mind if you believe this, I know very close people to him, he didn't even get the full Saudi money, they only released 10% to him which he used up to bribe people in the election to compete against Farmaajo who was doing the same but I don't want to get caught up in this topic.
I love how you brought up the billion, let's assume someone is crazy enough to give you that money (no strings attached which has never happened) how many people will this employ and for how long? do you have any idea what this foreign currency will do the country? when it runs out which it will very quickly what's next ? another free foreign billions? can you see how unsustainable this is? your are basically arguing for perpetual "welfare" 'dependency' and "tutelage" system.
Again you want a stop-gap very short-term solution that will not only fizzle out but rebound back in devastating effects on the people plunging more and more into abject poverty with the price hikes! that's what all these foreign currency coming in has produced! more poverty on scales we have never seen before.
Your arguing giving away our agricultural base to private foreign investment firms which would be utter suicide far worse then what we currently have and they wouldn't even be interested in it anyway (god thanks for that) because those people want to make massive bucks on their money.
There is no quick fixes here which is essentially what you are looking for, this is a long term struggle, it's ideological that needs to be waged on many fronts and it involves taking back control slowly, a peasant country like Bolivia and many others have achieved this, it requires strategic thinking and long term planning
The whole reason why the IC funds the elections in Somalia is to ensure that stability and equilibrium never comes about, it's why that British agent follows all our leaders everywhere, a leader whom knows he will likely not be back after 4 years with countless opposition, has no other incentive nor critical strategic thinking to do anything else.
The way to counter this is through munafiqnimo clandestine undercover deals with the others while the fake opposition soap opera is played out in public the way the enemies want (since they fund them), but behind closed door a common agenda is formed and sworn upon with the most influential members in secrecy!
This stuff goes beyond one-man saviour BS programmed in us, this is why I liked Sheikh Shariif because in a conversation we had with him that's exactly what he was planning and on his way to executing, his whole motto during his reign was appointing only professionals (Farmaajo, Gaas,Tarzan, Cadow etc and countless others you would have never heard off otherwise)
Whoever was recommended to him! he would check their credentials and track record unlike this government that has appointed alcoholics and well known saaqids, his greater plan was that these people will become well known to the public, have a greater chance of bringing about a change and some day 'take over' rather then a bunch of criminals or saaqids (if he followed that route of appointment)
He was also a cool calm collected person that didn't piss anyone off unlike the reactionary types we have today, however he made one devastating blunder that cost him and some miscalculations that stopped him in his tracks due to a lack of experience and unfortunate circumstances, we also couldn't predict Gaas would turn out the way he did, the people praising Gaas today have Sheikh Shariif to thank!. and those praising Farmaajo have again Sheikh Shariif to thank! the list goes on.
You know a government by the people they appoints and we already know the kinds of people this current government has appointed, hence I don't really see anything changing as such unless there is a drastic turn of events.
This video sums up everything I was talking about, basically a double agent working for the empire exposing how China operates (now that it's too late), we don't even have basic institutes like these
