puntland is the only region in somalia with potential

It has an opportunity to attract as taxes are extremely high for businessmen but it's all about location and population centres.

don't be rude say, so you're saying that Somaliland is the same after Afweynes bombardment of the 3 cities where nothing was left standing and the cities and countryside littered with landmines that killed thousands in the years to follow

Wallahi lets not kind yourselves that was all of Somalia as well....
i'm stating fact Somaliland has done little in the pass 30 years, the only thing we can celebrate is its stability and peace. 30 years my dude that's a whole generation. No hate but its just mind blowing.

The rest of Somalia imploded only after the regime fell

This is one of the main reasons why Somaliland would never re-unite. your equating to state sanctioned conflict on its own population using planes and heavy artillery to warlords fighting for control with relatively small arms.

Somaliland has achieved alot since kicking out Somalia from its territories with no access to external funding to develop its institutions and create an atmosphere where the gun is not accepted. creating a whole system of governance from scratch not based on any international framework or assistance from the IC who largely ignored Somaliland till about 2010. and everything we did influenced Somalia and its people to start this federalism as each people wanted control of their own land but also to decrease the likeliness of Somaliland being recognised.

and since 2012 everytime Somaliland has tried to seek an international partner they are hindered by the gov in Mog. So in conclusion Somaliland would've gone much further if we had competent leadership and Somalia just leaves us alone.

It's kind of sad when you look at other regions in somalia, no matter how much money is peddled them, you can tell it wouldn't make a difference, because there is very little drive and too much corruption. Mashallah, the people of PL work with limited resources and vast dry empty lands. They are still poor obviously, but it seems to me to have more potential because they are more hard working people (highest employment rates/labor participation in somalia, lowest poverty) If the harti community abroad could all chip in, I believe it could be the next dubai.

Obviously the vast geeljire population increase the poverty rates, but still...

Primitive tribal talk and cuqdad aside, what do you guys think??

Please keep tribes out of this, we are speaking purely from a regional point, and respective progress, budgets, etc


For the record, it would honestly make me ecstatic to see any region in somali succeed so this isn't in any way slanted

Go on the Development page i created a Hargeisa Development thread. this is what I wish for PL as we would develop faster together in collaboration with 2 business communities yes SL has a way more active diaspora but imagine if none of us import from outside and are able to make nearly everything in country we increase trade between somali cities develop infrastructure etc
