What would you do if you where the President of Somalia

[The Honored one]

I would eradicate tax, privatize everything and give loans to companies that help get people into work, be it direct or internships.
I would also start some large scale projects by partnering with foreign companies to boost the employment, the pay would be shit but I would encourage spies to steal business ideas to copycat these foreign companies and sell it to a local company to start its own operation.

When ever a country has high unemployment it is doomed to fail and civil unrest is perpetual, so my goal for the entirety of my term would be to increase employment to max.

Unregulated capitalism is a disaster

Unregulated capitalism is a disaster

its not a long term plan, you first have to plow the field, plant the seed before you can harvest.

after that is set in motion, you start thinking about long term plans, like soil maintenance, environment, etc.

As our needs become more refined and most of our basic demands are met, we move to another stage and we adjust our strategy accordingly.

Ethnic cleansing

Run a eugenics programme getting rid off all the dead weight and drastically reducing the population, that will instantly give us a surplus in human resource and production.

The only problem is the rest of the world would not be too happy about taking a short cut, and will use appeal to human rights to overthrow you.

I would find some way to make tribes illegal, I wouldn't know how to enforce something like that though and there would be massive backlash.

I think Rwanda did something similar recently.

If only Siad Barre used his dictatorship for something like this, instead he did the opposite and alienated people even more forcing them to cling on to clans further...


Get rid of clan system, you will see less corruption and the country will start to improve.

He actually did that in the beginning. And people didnt ask what qabil you are, but what's your ex qabiil.

I will try to identify all the problems and sub-sub problems of each problem and find solutions unique to Somalia and Somalis.

Education, industrialization, energy, food/water security, infrastructure, healthcare, security, institutions these things would be my priority

Well that didn't last long, he favoured certain clans and massacred others.

Like I said, we need to ban qabiil like Rwanda banned tribe talk or else break the country apart and everyone goes their own way.

There will be no reconciliation or progress as long as this clan system is here.

It did, it lasted from 1969 well into early 1980s. But he couldn't defeat tribalism, tribes again and again tried ousting him and as a result he relied more and more on his tribe.

It's our dhaqan so they will not abandon it

I wonder how the country would run if a minority/so-called lower caste person was the president. No extensive destructive, self-serving tribal networks to sabotage unity.

And so Somalia will never prosper.

Europeans and Asians also had tribes and clans but they managed to move past it, it was also their "dhaqan".

@Mercury let me be your wifey in charge. Make Somalia prosper!

I think they would struggle due to pressure from the big clans tbh.

Nah. I’d start from zero and any tribe that threatens to chimp out would be wiped out.
