Give Dhul-Suwayqatayn not an inch of the Sea!
Its lowkey depressing seeing you guys happy, With the current government wlhi we would be lucky if we even saw money outside of Politicians Pockets.
Then this obviously gonna lead to the Obvious which is People get mad, rebelions then the government either destablizes again or goes full on djiboutian mode.
A badly run hospital is still better than no hospital at all. Similarly a badly run oil industry will still have a huge positive domino effect on the wider Somali economy. Every single major OPEC country had significant corruption and bribery in their early days, but with higher standards of living, and with new generations of rulers and governments, came better domestic expertise and a more equal distribution of wealth. The incompetent HSM government is still infinitely better than the black hole of the 1990s, and he will be gone in 2026 but the infrastructure for an oil industry will still be there.
As an ethnostate connected on every level from coast to coast, there is no way the extracted resources don’t eventually disperse themselves across the Somali peninsula through trade, jobs, and major projects. This is already happening without the oil. You should definitely welcome this news, because this is one of Somalia’s aces that will allow it to leapfrog its neighbours and the rest of the continent.
