Slowly but surely businesses are being rebuilt in Somalia

Unlike Diaspora most people in Somalia could give less f about Qabyaalad. They just wanna feed their kid. And go on with their daily lives.
Qabyaalad is a fob thing or the ones that live in large Somali cities. I've noticed the small the community the less Qabyaalad, due to people wanting a community.

We have the longest coast of Africa we should invest in fishing and marine resources.

I was always surprised how we Somali people who have that long coast and still our diet is based on camel meat and not fish.

Most Somalis are waiting for the last areas to be liberated. But i fully agree
I'm from Somaliland so much safer for me to start planting in rural areas and also building other things. I can't just sit there and do nothing. This also pleases Allah as your doing sadaqa helping others and helping nature. You get rewarded immensely.
 
@Idilinaa sis this is your specialty

Somalia has seen a steady growth in fish processing companies over the past few years.

Now the next step is clear: scale up operations and attract more targeted investment to expand processing, storage, and export capabilities.

One of the earliest post-war processors was established in 2002 in Mogadishu:


Another notable fish processors in Mogadishu:

A fish farming initiative founded by diaspora Somalis in Mogadishu

Large cooperative, basically a fishing conglomerate owned by a group of local fishery businesses in Mogadishu , they collectively own a fishing plant under construction, fishing boats, cold storage, vehicles and equipment including freezers, ice machines and chiller.

A couple of fish processors set up across Puntland

Seafood manufacturer in Bosaso

Waaqoyi fish manufacturer

In addition to these growing processors, manufacturers, and exporters (see also: Sea-Ex Directory), there exists a vast network of small-scale fishing cooperatives stretching along the coast ,from Eyl down to Barawe.

These cooperatives are highly active, forming the backbone of Somalia’s traditional fishing economy, but they often struggle with limited funding, and equipment constraints. That's beginning to change.

The claim in the first tweet is just flat-out wrong. You people love to pigeonhole Somalis as only opening hotels, but that doesn’t hold up to even basic scrutiny. Somalis run a wide range of diverse businesses

Lots of Somalis return to Somalia and open up fish markets and seafood shops.

A lot of them are modern as well with cold storages, with air conditioning and indoor facilities.

These are very different from open-air markets where fish are sold fresh, directly after the catch , that’s just a different part of the supply chain. Trying to shame those markets is like comparing Bakara’s open stalls to Jubba or Hayat hypermarkets , completely different formats serving different roles.

If we’re going to critique, let’s do it with nuance. Plenty of Somali cities are seeing investment in cold storage, seafood processing, and proper distribution systems. The narrative yall are trying to craft that “Somalis don’t build proper fish markets” is just lazy.

Somaliland seems so much more stable, what field are you into? I think many sectors are worth investing. If you have family in the area, they can help you out too.
