What would happen if all Somalis pull out of Kenya ?

If we needed Somalia to develop extremely fast, we should pull all Somalis out of Kenya. What would happen to Kenya's economy if that occurred? Would Kenya even recover?

That statement significantly overestimates the economic influence of Kenyan Somalis. In Kenya, the Somali community primarily contributes to the livestock sector, which is their major export. While they may import a considerable amount, their exports, besides livestock, do not hold substantial value in the broader economy.

Additionally, this situation is unrealistic. You can't simply remove 4 million Somalis from a country as if you were declaring a diplomat persona non grata. So no need to consider the consequences of something that can't actually happen.

Plotting world domination
A lot of Kenyan somalis would be pissed off if they were forced to move back to somalia. Kenya has a better standard of living than Somalia.
 
Some do not understand the meaning of a hypothetical question it seems?:hmm:

This question requires a deep understanding of the intricacies of the Kenyan Economy and how ethnic Somalis contribute to it. It cannot be dismissed as easily as one poster has done.

Interesting subject that requires studying.

Kenya is so important for us Non Kenyan Somalis as temporary respite to regroup, learn business practices, studying deen, focus on being productive and we should be thankful for its existence to Allah

You make it sound like NFD isn't historically part of Somali territory, unless the land comes with them, I can never see them leaving.

Somalis are indigenous to kenya
We have absorbed the Southern cushitics, they were the first wave of early groups that arrived into the horn, before this it was mostly small HG groups in the region.


The makers of the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic culture are believed to have arrived in the Rift Valley sometime during the Pastoral Neolithic period (c. 3,000 BC-700 AD). Through a series of migrations from Horn of Africa, these early Cushitic-speaking pastoralists brought cattle and caprines southward from the Sudan and/or Ethiopia into northern Kenya, probably using donkeys for transportation.[2] According to archaeological dating of associated artifacts and skeletal material, they first settled in the lowlands of Kenya between 5,200 and 3,300 ybp, a phase referred to as the Lowland Savanna Pastoral Neolithic. They subsequently spread to the highlands of Kenya and Tanzania around 3,300 ybp, which is consequently known as the Highland Savanna Pastoral Neolithic phase.

Ancient DNA analysis of a Savanna Pastoral Neolithic bone excavated at the Luxmanda site in Tanzania found that the specimen carried a large proportion of ancestry related to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic culture of the Levant, similar to that borne by modern Afroasiatic-speaking populations inhabiting the Horn of Africa.

The main export industries in Kenya include tea, flowers, coffee, and tropical fruits. Sheep and goat meat account for only 1% of exports. There's a common misconception among some Somalis that they dominate Kenya's economy, but this is not the case.

The main influence that Somalia has on Kenya is through the import of khat, though this was not part of the original hypothetical question.
 
where are they going to go they have jobs familys neighbourhoods
In this scenario the government was giving them there house and resetting money and also money for them to restart there business in Somalia. Just like how the Jews had gotten resettlements in Israel in the 1940s.

🤷‍♂️ Sinister.
 
why would we do that? Bizarre
In this scenario Somalia was forced to have all Somali's in Somalia 1960 borderline. These Somali's would even contain the Somali's even in ethiopia. By forced I meant Ethiopia and Kenya deliberately hurting or treating Somali's in the there countries badly.

Yes I know the we Somali's own the nfd lands, but this is a what if questions. This what if also pertains to all Somali in ethiopia also.not just Kenya. In this what if scenario we finally have hard borders with éthiopian and Kenya. We currently don't have any borders. Think of Somalia like it was Israel with it Arab neighbors.
