Why The Somaliland Government Is Not Attracting The Well Educated Youth From Abroad?

Why The Somaliland Government Is Not Attracting The Well Educated Youth From Abroad?

Firstly I would like to wish everyone ramadan kareem. One thing that baffles me is why isnt this current goverment doing anything to attract well educated youths abroad to help out the nation. I have heard alot about how somaliland and somalia have untapped natural resources. That may be true but the question is how can the country and its people benefit. Before all that there are more important issues facing the nation.

One of them is khat, it should be banned lol (i know many people Wouldnt agree but imagine if some kind of laws was introduced (which is impossible when some if not all of these so called politicans in the current goverment useing it). How is that possible. Well you get the idea and what I mean is its one of the issues facing the somali people. And btw if you are wondering about my backround im somalilander from burco but was born in Abu dhabi and now live in England and im 21 M. Anyway enough about me.
I have one word for you my friends INFRASTRUCTURE. There is a famous saying that goes 'Build the roads and they will come'. I am proud to say something is being done about this as there is a an improvment but the goverment should invest more. No point of doing abit of the job eitherdo it properly or leave the government for someone else to do it.
Things that include:-
Airports, Bridges, broadband, Canals, Dams, Electricity, Energy.
Hazardous waste -which is a growing issue thats needs to be delt with.
Hospitals, Ports, Mass transit, Public housing, Public schools, Public Space, Roads, Sewage, Shipment, solid Wastes, Telecommunications, Utilities.
Well you get the idea. Thats what needed, ofcourse that wont be easy or free. It will cost billions and could be funded by the countries Natural Resourcses. Why not let the chinese help they seem honest people also very hard working. Offer them contracts In exchange of fuel in form of gas. Its wiser to get on their side rather than the fualtering Americans with their eye watering debt crisis.
Having said that I truely can't see somalilanders puting their diffrences aside and actually thinking of doing something about it and working together. All I see is corrupt goverments and people fighting over khat.
