Once upon a time before the war when there were opportunities within Somalia for men and women. It’s sad to see how a lot of the progress that was accomplished post independence has been completely wiped out in the past two decades. Hoping for a better future in this new year.[ATTACH=full]25686[/ATTACH]

Established by Radio Artist Association. They were Somalia’s foremost musical group. Waaberi spawned many popular artists who would go onto enjoy successful individual musical careers and shape the face of Somali music for years to come.
Somalis are very enterprising, if it was not for the war, they would be the leading economic force in East and central Africa…look at how they have transformed Eastleigh and now they are the dominant business people in Luthuli avenue and area around Jamia mosque…we have hosted refugees from different countries but none have shown the kind of business acumen seen with somalis
I don’t have statistics, but I won’t be suprised if Somalis make it to the top of the list of kenya tax evaders.
Lastly,I assume the creme dela creme of the Somali Nation settled in Kenya, just to mention a few, top businessman, lawyers, lectures, engineers, Doctors, Architectures and other Professionals.
And all they. Have done is start shops! Because of tax evasion and smuggling of goods.
No road construction company, no light manufacturing industry, no law firms, no medical practice, no brokerage firms, no Architectural firm, No Nothing.
Somalis are a joke. SOMALI WITHOUT WAR WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER SHITHOLE.
LET’S TALK ABOUT THE CHINESE.
