Somalia joining EAC

Firmly against free movement of ppl and common currency. Free trade is disadvantegous for us since we have no real industry. But I don't see no real harm or merit in joining this organisation.

Only positive part is that EAC is an organisation in its infacy, if it achieves creating economic growth in the region. Joining it later on would be impossible. So kinda hard to make up my mind on this.
 
Will that mean Kenyan khat will not be taxed? Marduuf is already 30 - 40 Dollars

Somali citizen entering Visa free to Kenya.

I can see few benefits.

This could be the most consequential decsion HSM will make during his presidency. Removing all trade barriers between Somalia and the EAC will mean faster GDP growth. Very big deal.

On a series note the EAC goal is to eventually transition into East African federation which would make them one country would be curious to understand HSM stance on that.
 
This madness. The country makes nothing, has no industry, doesn't export anything just imports and it is opening up it's market to countries with established economies. ????

Together with unfettered freedom of movement.

The country is being destroyed.
 
This decision is starting to warm up to me. Somalia’s main focus after security is economic growth and I can definitely see that happening at a much faster rate under this community. At the same time, a bunch of Bantus having access to our coastline isn’t a good idea to me but we will see

So you approve of joining the EAC?
It's either Ethiopia or the EAC. I personally would rather all of our economic & political institutions be tied to Ethiopia, but 5 years of arse licking Abiy&Isias and providing cannon fodder for their Crusade in Tigray got us f*ck all in return.

Guess its the EAC then.
