Somalia is developing but there is no effort to rehabilitate online and global image

[caano_shaah]

Whenever I look up Mogadishu or Somalia online it's nothing but old footage and pictures that still portray the country as a hopeless, war torn, warlord dominated, poverty stricken hellhole when reality on the ground says otherwise. There has been economic and infrastructure projects happening nationwide in various sectors for years but none of this has been communicated to a global audience in English through established international media. We can work with established international media networks from partners such as Qatari Al-Jazeera and Turkish TRT for example to help with global image rehabilitation and have Somali investors and economists sit down and communicate how the local and diaspora Somalis are heavily investing in the country in various sectors along with current and upcoming economic and infrastructure projects.

Below is one of the few pieces of media I could find online from 2 years ago that indicates to the global audience that Somalia is on a path of rapid development and recovery. The video has 1 Million views which indicates that there is an interest from a foreign audience about what's going on in Somalia and how the country is developing today. We need an international media presence that properly communicates what's happening in the country in terms of economic and infrastructure development. This is the main reason in my opinion why Somalia is still viewed today as a poverty stricken "shithole" when its far from that today. A lot of good is happening in the country but no one knows about it which does not help with our global image and respect.

Yeah I've seen such videos on tiktok which are nice but they're usually targeted at and confined to a Somali audience. Would be nice to do a similar influence campaign to an international audience on YouTube similar to that Al-Jazeera video to signal that Somalia is transforming rapidly. Something that highlights the improved economic activity, development projects throughout the country, ect. Our image needs serious rehabilitation after decades of negative media coverage due to civil war and Al Shabaab terrorism.

Yeah I'm really loving how every part of the country is transforming equally and not just the capital like its the case for most developing countries in the Global South. Inshallah this rapid pace of transformation continues and by the end of the decade we will have a country that can compete on the global stage in terms of economic activity and development. I'm excited for the future of Somaliweyne.

1 week old account and I've only seen you talk shit about us. It's only a matter of time until the mods get you because I know you ain't Somali and more people are starting to notice. You gotta be a raw meat eater or something.

“Af-Soomaali” no one puts hyphens in the middle of af soomaali. It sounds like you taken it off a wikipedia page. It looks too formal. Interesting

This thread ties in with your link. Look at that fake info presented as facts. At least 30 mil speaks somali in the whole HoA, 18-19 mil of them in the Somali peninsula.

I know its fake its literally AI generated. He got “Af-Soomali” from AI. Nobody writes like that, but AI.

So not only did he write an ai generated hyphenated word, but he got it from unreliable resources
