The 8 commandments for Diaspora on returning home

1. Stop the Arrogance However smart and confidence you may feel, note that someone else is taking this as arrogance. Sometimes it’s best to let others shines so do not make the mistake of thinking that you know everything about everything just because you had access to Google for the last 10 years. Some youths here carry 4 or 5 degrees and did this in a warzone. Just because you had a western education and speak with a good English/American accent does not make you the messiah Somalis have been waiting for. 2.

You should already know that we are an oral nation so having some type of ammo (Not guns) is important. Kids as young as 8 would test you and so would Caasi (Bus) drivers.

Somalia is going through a real challenging development but with a lot of optimisms in the air for change, peace and prosperity. The road is not quite as easy as it seems but with determined citizens, it can lead to so many advantages to us a

Growth Potential in Somalia

Growth Potential in Somalia The following statistics show the growth potential of Somalia, based on its abundant natural resources and position relative to global trade routes. Of course, to optimize its geographic advantages and resources this divided nation on the horn of East Africa would have to at least stabilize and possibly re-unite. Somalia has some prime real estate in terms of accessing global trade. Let’s have a look at this fun little map of global trade: http://bioval.jrc.ec.europa.eu/products/gam/index.htm Source: http://bioval.jrc.ec.europa.eu/products/gam/index.htm The ochre and brick-to-brown palette indicates travel time to major cities (in hours and days). The light blue is shipping lane density based on the thickness of the lines in the ocean. Now a zoom to Somalia: As you can see the sea trade that passes Somalia is substantial. Nearly 8% of global trade pass through the Gulf of Aden (the space between Somalia and Yemen).
