Thank you sxb, bless you aswell.
Mashallah.
Somalia has a deteriorating infrastructure that has seen little improvement in the last decade. One paved road extends from Berbera in north through Mogadishu to Kismaayo. Roads of all categories totalled 22,100 kilometers (13,733 miles) in 1996, of which 2,608 (1,621 miles) kilometers were paved. Many of the improved earth roads were frequently impassable in rainy seasons. Highway infrastructure is insufficient to open up isolated areas or to link the regions. The country has no railroads.
Somalia has 8 paved civilian airfields and fewer than 20 additional widely-scattered gravel airfields. The international airport is at Mogadishu. In 1990 a domestic service linked Mogadishu with 7 other Somali cities served, in part, by Somali Airlines, which owned 1 Airbus 310 in 1989. There was no scheduled service in existence in 1992.
Electricity is produced entirely from diesel and petrol powered generators, with all the fuel imported. In 1998, it was estimated that 265 million kilowatt hours (kWh) were supplied, all from privately-owned generators. Poor people, and most of the population outside the towns, rely on wood for cooking and kerosene oil-lamps for light.
There are 4 major ports—deepwater facilities at Berbera, Mogadishu, and Kismaayo and a lighterage (for transportation of goods on flat-bottomed barges) port at Marka—and a minor port at Maydh. A port modernization program that was launched in the latter half of 1980s with U.S. aid significantly improved cargo handling capabilities at Kismaayo and increased the number of berths and deepened the harbor at Berbera.
The public telecommunications system was completely destroyed or dismantled by the civil war factions; all relief organizations depend on their own private systems. Recently, local cellular telephone systems have been established in Mogadishu and in several other population centers. International connections are available from Mogadishu by satellite.
-------------------------------------------
So, we need to completely restore our telecommunications system and aswell start producing electricity from either nuclear energy since we don't have coal to use.
There is some hydroelectric potential on Somalia's rivers, but thus far it has remained unexploited and can be exploited so we need to exploit that.
Which is why Education is so important, sxb.
We can create archaeologist, scientist, stem cell researchers etc.
We also need to establish many more ports.
Garacad Port is very interesting and will benefit us alot in terms of cargo handling.
Establish a port at Garacad which will serve the central Somalia regions and eastern Ethiopia and, thereby enhance the export of livestock within these regions to other countries, making the livestock industry more profitable and the residents self-sufficient.
Provide easy access to food imports from the outside world. This will allow food to be less expensive and thereby enhance food security in the region which is plagued by droughts and famine.
Provide easy access to other materials such as construction materials and materials for development of different sectors such as agriculture and transport leading to the development of the region.
Tell me whether my thoughts have any faults or you agree or disagree sxb.
