Its good news that the international community specially U.K has got interested on Somalia from the Business side and investments.First let me make a short comment/ analysis on the last meeting for business and investments for Somalia.It looks to me the British and the Turks are moving fast to embrace what I call the Al- Ittixad Business cartels/Monopolies and their associates which are even part and parcel of Organized crimes/Drug-dealers groups.For the last twenty two years a group of Salafist business groups have monopolized the Somali Republic economy from agriculture to import/export trade.telecommunications.energy,banks like Hawilad and expanded themselves to the east-Africa and south-central Africa.Some of them have links with organized crimes/drug-dealers and reinvested/Laundered the profits in legal business in East Africa.Somalia etc.All this assets and Cash money is where Al-Shabaab used to get their finances and support.With the increased involvement of the Ethiopia-IGAD group this group accepted a new status in which they controlled the Business arenas as monopolistic groups and the puppet Leaders made by Ethiopia-IGAD will control the public spheres of satellites so-called regional autonomous states(with new sovereignty). That deal has been subverted/changed by the new politics of the Somali federal government and the massive recognition of the U.S and U.K and the Republic of Turkey plus the Qatar,Saudi Arabia,Egypt Arab states.Now this groups are divided themselves in two or maybe three groups.One who is still committed to the Original Agenda of assisting Al-shabaab and have a Salafist Emirates( confederation) in Somalia.The second group is in the middle,recognizes the new change and new opportunities for their capitalistic Agendas but is still favorable for Confederate system between Somali clans- communities with the Ethiopia-IGAD hegemony. There is a third group which is totally favorable to having a Somali National federal system but they are in the minority and are afraid of the big Salafist conglomerates which are in the second category.All of them have one characteristic their money and capital is hidden from public scrutiny and national and international accountability.They all need international recognition and acceptance in the international monetary systems and capitalistic systems.They have one recognition till know that of the Republic of China to whom they are linked strongly as a trade country and as a politically ally in their Salafist Agenda for Somalia( including the regions of Somaliland and Puntland).Business and investment do not work in the vacuum or in a failed states like Somalia. That is the reasons they emigrated to east- Africa,South- central Africa,South Sudan and Dubai where there are legal systems who can protect their ill gotten money and investments.Now they need to play this new game on which there is a new Somalia supported by the international community. IF we are to make investments in Somalia we need first and foremost laws who can protect this new capital investments and the rights of the people-citizens to be part of the exploitation of the Somali national resources. Before anything we need functioning Police and Judiciary and after that that laws who regulate Land ownership in Agriculture,,real estate ownership,Industrial ownership, foreign and even Somali investments laws,Laws who regulate a real economic infrastructure where every Somali would get the opportunity to flourish as business and entrepreneur. Now as we stand a small clique which is less than 1% of the overall population controls in an illegitimate way all the national resources and they are the ones who have been invited in London and are the one also the Turkish government is courting..I believe this groups must be involved in the economy because they are the real people who control the economy but we must be careful in empowering them before all the laws protecting the Somali national resources are in place and we must be also be careful of their real agendas and intentions for the future of the Somali Nation.If in this climate this groups convince the President and his government and the international community that they take over all the economic sectors without a State sectors in Oil and gas and main Utilities like Energy,Water ,Education,health we are going for a future disaster and new monopolistic structures who will control all the spheres of the economy and politics.This are Salafist people who all this years have conspired and projected their own agendas and made alliances with regional powers and global ones like China,Iran,France,Italy,Russia,Malaysia and would like to subjugate the people-citizens for a very long time. We do not have to run we must go slowly and make a real legal- economic infrastructure in which those who are interested in the development of Somali-Nation state are protected and nurtured.Wait and see
Why Somali Republic is a "Perpetual Failed State" for the last 30 years?In this blog I try to answer to that question and in particular of the failure of Somali politics.How Clan Elites have been used by Regional powers and the Somali Salafist Movement and the end game plan to make Somali Republic Clan Enclaves.Who controls Somali economy and political control of Clans in Clan Enclaves.
Who are the Business people of Somalia.Wait and see
