SFG to sign Treaty of Accession with the East African Community today

[World]

Of course Somalia has products to export no matter how small. Our biggest export is livestock, there are also fisheries, fruits (mainly bananas), hides and skin, franchises, myrrh, oils, paper, charcoal, resign gum. Im sure there is more.

Somalia with all its current troubles, is growing at an impressive rate. You all need to start thinking about the future and not the present, we will not be in this current predicament for long. Once peace is restored, the industrialisation of our nation will begin. Businesses will need a market to sell their goods, and what better place then our back yard. With no restrictions in place to hinder our progress.

Why would you join the EAC to sell goats to Uganda lmao

How can Somalia industralise if it doesn't even have a power grid?

 

[Celery]

There are many benefits in joining this community. For example, Somali businesses will have no tariffs imposed on them when they decide to export their products to said countries, we are a businesses minded people. You can see the effect we already have in their economy. This alone will see the Somali economy grow at an unprecedented rate. Our people will be able to move freely in these nations and not face any trouble. Although I am not a fan of a possible future union, I honestly do not think that will come to fruition. Even if it did, our parliament can vote to leave at any time. At the moment and for the last few decades, the EAC has been an economical union and it looks like it’ll stay that way.

We have been given an opportunity to become the economical powerhouse of East Africa. Knowing our people’s hunger for success, it’s bound to happen sooner or later.

I’ve been saying this exactly. Let’s say this doesn’t happen and the worst case scenario happens: the Bantus decide to annex Somalia. Good luck with that.

Somalia has fallen, say goodbye to Cushites

Good talking to you champ

One of the biggest problems are somali businesses importing cheap labour from other east african countries due to braindead qabiil system stigmatizing certain occupations and somalis being too proud to do manual labour for little pay.

 

[Gacmeey]

The only thing Somalia will be exporting is young, intelligent educated people leaving us with the 20 iq beasts

Somalian meeting his pre-Nilotic abtis

Please just stop with this cringey joke, as it is misleading. Somalis are not Proto-Nilo. Ancient East Africans of a different branch to be more precise. You can't call someone from a separate branch of the phylogenetic tree your uncle.

East africa community majority of countries have low population density no one is coming for our land. we have the least desirable land among all the members only thing we have is long coast line. The biggest risk i see from this is remittance money going to other countries and us loosing to many somalis with dollar purchasing power to neighbors. we shouldn't worry about others coming to somalia but opposite. I dont know if EAC will be good or bad for us long term but we can always exit. The biggest thing right now is FGS gaining legitimacy. Its signing major deals with neighbors, world lifted arms embargo, and rivals even respecting our borders no somaliland in new EAC map below. we rock bottom can only go up from here and hopefully next year atmis gone and we can finally say somalia a country again

somalis export livestock. the bantus dont need our livestock they have tropical lands. they dont need import our food they live in fertile lands with no drought. they have bigger and much more docile populations so they will have better industrial capabilities than us (unless we have a dictatorship). what are they gonna import from us? camels and soor?

"Kenya and the European Union on Monday signed a long-negotiated trade agreement to increase the flow of goods between the two markets, as Brussels pursues stronger economic ties with Africa.
The Economic Partnership Agreement will give Kenya duty-free and quota-free access to the EU, its biggest export market, while European goods will receive progressive tariff reductions.

The agreement is the first broad trade deal between the EU and an African nation since 2016 and follows a spending spree by China on lavish infrastructure projects across the continent."

The European Union said that the deal was "the most ambitious economic partnership" it had with a developing country.

"This agreement leaves the door wide open for our EAC partners to join so that together as a region we can benefit,"

Kenya making big moves . I hope we put more pressure on other nations as block. 300 million people moving as one can negotiate great deal

 

[RiceMuncher]

Yh, even if Somalia is far from such a deal any somali could take advantage from it now that we're the EAC.

 

[Gacmeey]

So Somalia will import less meaning we get less port tax? This sounds good for the individual somali, less so for the somali gov

 

[RiceMuncher]

Yh, that’s what will happen if we take advantage of their deal @Gacmeey. Money in our pockets and the FG lose out.
