    I don't know about that. For building large embassies are really not that important. However allowing others to build things for you is good provided you know what interest they have in you and what is yours.

    But the tragic thing in here is that the political folks in Somalia are the sort of folks who don't do this sort of a "deeper calculation". And they will go with whoever gives them the "best bribes" they could get it.

    Hence, why they are with Qataris without knowing what Qataris will ever build in Somalia. And this is why they are not doing any hard calculation in-terms of how seriously Turkey is committed into their country, if for example Sudan "offers" a better deal for Turkey in-order for Turkey to get access to Ethiopia from Sudan.

    Or, for example, if there is a deal between Turkey and Eritrea  in one of these days (it could happen, you know) whereby Turkey will get its easy direct route to Ethiopia from Eritrea's ports.

    These are the sort of the "constant calculation of a strategical kind" in which nations should do it. But I really don't see that sort of unemotional and a deeper strategising ever happening in Villa Somalia at all in any time soon.   

    Building an embassy is a big deal. Embassies represent their home country and have certain legally defined responsibilities and powers. They are part of the government of the country they represent, hence as to why so many Somalis would defend Turkey. Turkey shouldn't be allowed to have that kind of influence Somalia and Somalis. As I said, we were only a charity case for them nothing less and nothing more.

    Yes, having people build for you are good, if their intentions are reasonable. I don't think we should've supported the qataraist, they never supported us nor are they important. Somalia should be as selfish as every country, we should only do things that work in our interest. We shouldn't get involved in these bullshit dramas that has no value to us. We should only think about the economy and how we can further build it. 

    At the moment, Somalia is a low ranking country. But when we get back to our glory days we shall only join partnerships as long as we serve the upper hand. Otherwise, there is a chance of another backstabbing.

    Spot on. Somalia was nothing but a charity case for Turkey. In fact, the whole rationale of Turkey building it's "strategical footprints" in Somalia after the mere human's charity in which they were first moved by it, was the idea of getting into Ethiopia's vast market.

    And that was the reason they thought to get in on the action with Somalia, so that their desire is to build the ports the Ethiopia need can be done from Somalia's sea-shores.

    However, now they have Sudan's ports, in conjunction with Qatar, who is also in the "port's game" of the region and in Sudan in particularly, then their need for Somalia's ports to service Ethiopia's hinterland's market will correspondingly diminish. But don't let that "deeper argument" disturb the politically illiterate folks in here of SOL who are essentially Villa Somalia's inept groupies around here.  

    What makes me mad is that we let them build an embassy on our lands. Biggest mistake. In my opinion, Somalia shouldn't trust any country or have them as our allies. As proven from time to time, each time we "trust" or "help" a country we essentially always get backstabbed. The only people who care about Somalia are the natives and they are the only ones who will have its best interest. (except some)
