I agree 100% in that diaspora should absolutely not be getting low level or mid level political/government jobs, locals can do those jobs. High level political jobs is understanable as those skills are rare to find locally. Any-who Diasporas should be CREATING jobs for others not sucking up the little government positions there are.
Having said that, without the diaspora the Somali economy would simply collapse overnight. They don't need to be present in the country to contribute, which they already do through remittances.
truth is people here are lazy go to any supermarket store in Hargeisa you will see the cashier sitting on the chair watching tiktok videos and the other employes chatting instead of cleaning the store and taking care of all the dust on top of the items
the only hardworkers are the people who work in construction,painting,handyman etc but people look down on those jobs they want to sit in a office
This is what struck me the most about visiting Somalia, just the utter laziness & arrogance of people. I have friend whose family owns a hotel in Hargeisa and they hire Indians (who doesn't speak english/somali!) and Kenyans to do the housework/cooking/cleaning as its very hard to find local workers who can stay on the job for more than a month.
They all simply want to sit in the reception and as you said, get paid by surfing the web all day.
