Yeah I know, we need reconciliation and political stability and security first and I do focus a-lot of my time on this area and that involves raising up tribal sensitivies, history, sultanates, dark age periods for clans, cultures, values, or anything to find out why we are not on the same page 'mentally' inside the nation. We can't just keep going back n forth is my MOTTO or else it's pure bloody madness.
But Check out this interesting fact. All those 'trade enthusiasts' who cry RED SEA is so strategic and the location is critical to world trade and we should envision a strong Somalia by placing ourselves to as 'bridge' and taxing it and building our land with it. All this nonsense can be debunked with one famous 'trade corridor' from Roman Empire to China, it was called the SILK ROAD. It was exactly as you describe the RED SEA today, the global trade route between nations. Please go see those nations today who are on that trade route who also applied the principle of positioning itself as a 'trade corridor'.
This is the Silk road trade corridor. Today all the nations that lie on that route, where are they? they are usually dead or inactive nations. The only one who has resurrected was the Roman Empire and China Empire, not the 'vassal states' in between who just envisioned 'trade corridor' future was sufficient, now look at them those trade corridor type nations, flip flop when the super powers relocate the trade somewhere else.
The moral of the story, yes trade corridor is fine but let's not make it the 'engine' of our economy, let it be something that is supplementary while we focus on developing key sectors internally. The big sectors are minerals/oil, Banking sector where we give our loans to our population to invest themselves into start-ups, high learning sector we want an inventing economy. The best asset is the brain, it's reliable and if this is well intelligent, we can with-stand the changes of global shifting economic world.
I just don't want us living like the arabs where they are continously reminded, you will go back to 'camps' once we don't need your oil which is what they're trying to do thru wind,solar, electric powered energy sources. I just don't want people telling my future descendants, we will send u back to your fkn huts once we leave the 'red sea' trade corridor you dumb bum. The reason they say this is because they know your 'inventing' economy or brain sector is so low, you can not recover and rely on 'natural resources or trade routes'.
So yes our end goal should be investing to create the best brains on the continent, higher learning institutes and research facilities should be our top priority. Manufacturing should itself just be 'side economy' not our PRIMARY one.
