all an Oromo or pretty much any Ethiopian has to do is know just a little Somali and everyone will assume they’re Somali. Sad.
That's interesting, so the SR region estimating 25m Somalis live in the SR?
There's no way it's 25 million. But it could definitely be 15 million. That alone to me is convincing enough that we need to take back the SR region. The potenial we could have if both regions were combined is off the charts. We're looking at a combined somalia with a pouplation of 35 million right now. This could easily double by 2050 to 60 -70 million. If we played our cards right we could be a major power by 2050-2060.
I’m glad you brought this up. I lived in Addis Ababa from 2008-2016 and power outages and a lack of water were common. We would constantly fill our bathtub, sinks and a large water tank because we never knew when the water and electricity would be turned off. Sometimes it would be turned back on in hours, other times it would take days. The longest was for over two weeks iirc
Alot of other major african cities have similar issues.. honestly this goes to show how impressive the private sector is in Somalia. Even in smaller towns, power outages seem to be very, very rare.I’m glad you brought this up. I lived in Addis Ababa from 2008-2016 and power outages and a lack of water were common.

When I stayed in Jigjiga for over a month, the power never went out even once. Even a city like Laascaanood which is obviously not as wealthy as Addis Ababa did not experience power outages. I was there for over eight months and I don’t even recall the lights turning off once, but in AA outages were almost weekly.
Our private sector is great, but our public sector is severely lacking. Our useless government is holding us back

I was too young to use the internetYou probably didn't even have internet connection like @NidarNidar said during his stay at at a 5 star hotel in Addis

When I was in Addis I thought they didn’t have any internet because we couldn’t access anything. Nothing worked. I had to use my imagination to curb my boredom. Also it would get dark so fast and the whole place was shrouded in darkness. Then I went to the Somali Region and we had wifi/computers. I would regularly go to a computer cafe to play Roblox and watch Naruto. Then I learned we could just hook up games at our house and we would all play.You probably didn't even have internet connection like @NidarNidar said during his stay at at a 5 star hotel in Addis
It’s the same thing in nairobi, the internet & electricity was amazing, except it would literally go off almost every two days, i’m not even exaggerating, I remember one time it went off 3 times in one day, it was off for a whole week one time, it’s hilarious because when I was in garowe the electricity never went out ( although the internet was shit & slow)I’m glad you brought this up.

@Idilinaa What’s funny?
I'm so confused on how somalia doesn’t suffer from power outages to the same extent even though our electricity is more expensive and we don't have an electric grid either.
