What do you feel about Somalia being a failure for more than 30 years?

[NordicSomali]

I’m not trying to mock the country but that’s how the world sees it, a failure.

Disappointed, too much time wasted. I envy those who got to enjoy the golden days of the 70's and 80's

There is literally nothing like our shitty country the kid born the day Siyad Barre was kicked out is today 33 years and has his own kids and we have no government , you will see the Sudan civil war end soon and national unity government there is nothing like us. The most petty people and politicians.

clan warfare, land grabbing, ill governance and lack of security. Sad to see but we are still stuck in the 90s.

Somalia: How Colonial Powers drove a Country into Chaos

To control the economic development of the emerging powers, mainly India and China. Half of the world’s container traffic and 70% of the total traffic of petroleum products passes through the Indian Ocean. From that strategic point of view, Somalia is a very important place: the country has the longest coast of Africa (3.300 km) and faces the Arabian Gulf and the Straight of Hormuz, two key points of the region economy. Moreover, if a pacific response is brought to the Somali problem, relations between African in one hand, and India and China on the other hand, could develop through the Indian Ocean. Those American competitors could then have influence in that African area. Mozambique, Kenya, Madagascar, Tanzania, Zanzibar, South Africa etc. All those countries connected to the Indian Ocean could gain easy access to the Asian market and develop fruitful economic relationship. Nelson Mandela, when he was president of South Africa, had mentioned the need of an Indian Ocean revolution, with new economic relationships. The United States and Europe do not want this project. That is why they prefer to keep Somalia unstable.."

"Oil exploitation is not their priority. The United States know that the reserves are there but doesn’t need it immediately. Two elements are much more important in its strategy. First, prevent the competitors from negotiating with a rich and powerful Somali state. If you consider Sudan, the comparison is interesting. The oil that the American companies discovered there thirty years ago, Sudan is selling it today to China. The same thing could happen in Somalia. The fact is that United States have no guarantee on that point: if a strong Somali government is put in power tomorrow, whatever is its political color, it could probably adopt a strategy independent of United States and trade with China. Western imperialists do not want a strong and unified Somali state. The second goal pursued by this chaos theory is linked to the geographical location of Somalia, which is strategic for both European and American imperialists."



WAKE UP SOMALIS
