Are you trying to argue that Somaliland is more wealthy than Puntland because more people are tahriibing? Sxb you are trippin.The point here is that, anyone given the chance will do Tahriib.
The reason why tahriib seems to be more in Somaliland is probably got to do the fact that they have more chance and have access to more money. I mean, a lot of tahriib people will tell you that they spent close to $10,000 US dollars on their journey.
But I would argue that people that are living better and have greater access to education and opportunities back home are less likely to tahriib.
That's why there needs to be economic opportunities for the youth as well. I really feel sorrow for the people back in the motherland, we have a greater quality of life, have access to good education and have better job prospects. They probably feel that they are missing out and that's why we need to go back and help them out.That is the case in Somaliland. Somaliland is churning out too many university educated graduates who then languish looking for jobs and eventually leave the country.
These factors are also behind it, in Somaliland.
1. Some of them go on Tahriib b/c they know someone else who went on Tahriib and now is killing it - i.e. building a house or sending money back or just Social media show-offing.
2. In Somaliland, marriage is very expensive - the most expansive in the Horn of Africa. This is causing a lot of young men to risk making it to Europe.
