SLAVE MINDSET!!!

[Empress of Hawiye]

Somalis can't even build decent nomad huts for themselves and you expect them to build city skyscrapers, highways, railroads and ports ?

You have to swallow your pride and accept the fact that Somalia will need help to develop the country. Either from the Chinese or an ally like Turkey. Bear in mind that this infrastructure developments will not come free of charge, it will be in form of govt loans that will be paid in future by taxpayers money.

Somalis are a weird lot. They are only hardwired for the chill nomadic lifestyle. Somalis look down on hard labour, and you need this to build up a country. Currently Somali has a huge deficit of Skilled and semiskilled persons in the construction industry. Somalia does not have enough skilled Plumbers, Masons, Architects, Civil Engineers etc. How do you build up a country when you lack even the basic skilled human resource ?

It's not like Somalia has the luxury of having billions of petrodollars like the gulf states, who outsourced everything when they were building up their countries. They gulf states outsource everything including plumbers and cleaners.

Somalis will have to do the rebuilding of the country the hard way. Just like how other African countries are doing. By partnering with a powerful developed country that has got the technology and the funding to carry out infrastructure development.

I know most Somalis don't want to hear this but the truth is, the ideal development partner right now is not Turkey. Turkeys' economy is entering recession. They are almost going broke. There is no way they would be able to fund mega infrastructure developments in Somalia. Therefore the ideal partner right now is CHINA. You just have to draw the line with the Chinese and not let them mistreat local workers. For example the Chinese are funding and doing a lot of development projects in Egypt and I have not heard about them mistreating Egyptians.

Swallow your pride guys and accept the fact that Somalia needs CHINA right now!
