Somalis in Zambia

[Diaspora ambassador]

Yeah bro we're deep there.

I think we're making a mistake leaving dalka and investing outside of Somalia.
Most of our towns have been taken over by our neighbors.
Soon we will be minorities in Burtinle, Jalam, Bacadweyn etc.

We really need to go back.

No it is a good thing, the only thing they don't need to forget is the motherland when she stabilizes and is rebuild.

By then the somali business communities will be influential in the african countries they reside in.

I went to Lusaka for business opportunities, have lived three good months and one the best memories I ever had ,life is absolutely perfect and less hostile but the living expenses are ridiculously expensive , Somalis live lavishly as if they own the place , unfortunately large waves of Chinese merchants and investors are coming in droves and sleeping with Zambian women , since the dawn of the giant they have poured millions worth of dollars for infrastructure projects and commercial investments , putting the entire nation at debt, unfortunately they will have a lease once the Zambian officials cannot afford to repay which is already happening , this put several Somali merchants out of businesses.
The Somalis offered me vacancy for truck driving from Gaborone Botswana to Lumbumashi Congo , I had declined that offer
because I was already comfortable delivering goods from Botswana to Zambia .

these guys make more money than illicit traders loooool

Most of them are hand talking MJS
If the Chinese build these freight rails I believe all truck drivers will return to shopkeeping which they've upgraded from decades ago
A devastating and worrisome impact
