Somalia National Transformation Plan (NTP) 2025-2029

For anybody intrestd in the significance of the detection of life on mars this video gives a pretty good rundown of why its important




TDLR: basically there'd a very high chance that at least macrobial life once existed on mars and its also likely that if it did exists theres a very decent chance its of a completely different origin than earth. Which would mean the DNA would be compelled different than anything on earth.

What he doesn't discuss in the video is that theres a chance that this alien microbial life still exists since theres water underneath mars. As well as ice caps on the surface of mars that would persevere frozen bacteria which we could revive and is something we've done before on earth

I did some basic calculations and if we assume that somalia's stated gdp is about $15 billion is around 25% of the real ubmeasured gdp then we have a gdp of about $60 billion if we calculated the somali region as about half that than we end up with something like $90 billion dollars for the gdp of somaliweyene.

If we grow at a rate of 6-7 % for the next 25 years which i dont think is hard if we factor in oil revenues and we also add that the pouplation of somaliweyen is likley to double from the current (19 million somalia + 16 million somali region ) 35 million to about 75 million. Than we could reach about $1 trillion total gdp by 2050.

While this might sound shocking we have a perfect example in Vietnam which grew around 6.2% in the last 25 years and only grew its pouplation from 77 million in 2000 to 101 million in 2025.


This is how quickly gdp grew because of that

Honestly im probably underestimating it because 33 to 476 billion is 15.8x increase in size. If you multiplied somalia alone by that you'd get 60 × 15.8 = $952 billion.

Vietnam doesnt have any of the major problems were facing and its a united country, bad example, also galbeed's economy isnt that great compared to somalia, except jigjiga

Sure but I'm talking more about the principle. Our economy and the path we taken proably won't be the same as Vietnam. But through Vietnam we see that you dont require insane china level growth to massively increase your gdp. Before I looked into Vietnam I didnt think it would even logically be possible to go from $60 billion to $952 billion in 25 years. Let alone that it would only take a 6-7% growth rate.

also galbeed's economy isnt that great compared to somalia, except jigjiga
Thats why I used the $60 billion gdp of somalia alone in my example. But I think even if galbeed is not 30 billion its probably at least 15 billion. Which if you add that into the calculation would be 75 x 15.8 = $1.185 trillion.
 
Another very big opportunity which in my mind is actually bigger than A.i and is the opportunity of the century is the spaceport they're planning to build. I was reading about this discovery and the implications once they bring back real anicent macrobial life from mars will likely trigger a new space race. Since who knows what potenial advances in biological and chemistry this might open the doors to

If the somali political elite play their cards right and divert a significant amount of the oil revenues into building the infrastructure around the spaceport and making sure that the city that springs up around it is one of the best spaceports then the talent thats attracted by the big companies using that spaceport will guarantee somalia will develop a massive amount of scientific and technical talent in the coming decades. Since any space endeavor requires all sorts of scientists and engineers.
You see it like I do , Turkey is basically a technology and R&D cheat code for Somalia to build capacity for large-scale projects like a spaceport.

We can leverage our strategic partnership with them not just for tech transfers, but also to build a military defense/industry, especially since Turkey is already planning to open factories to produce weapons while outsourcing part of their manufacturing to Somalia.

And the timing aligns perfectly because Hormuud is expanding solar-powered AI data centers to meet surging demand:

Also, SOMINVEST publications highlight that the fintech and telecom sectors are now looking to invest in manufacturing ICT and AI hardware, equipment, and renewable tech.

They’ve already launched software development companies like Tabarak ICT and various education-driven tech initiatives through SomaliREN to build a skilled workforce:

So the foundational infrastructure, skilled human capital pipeline, and local demand base are already emerging which means Somalia can genuinely turn this into a powerful high-tech niche.

Exactly. One thing I realized after looking into russia and china is that if you want to speed the development of the building of scientific and technical instutions is that you need foreign advisors and experts to get thing off the ground.

The reason siad barre was able to build such a strong army so quickly was in large part due to the soviet union providing several hundred advisors in the beginning.


Just look at the situation in the early 60s vs the 70s
