Do Somalis Really Need Old-Style Govt?

[QUANTUM LEAP]

I thought this article was kinda humorous in the sense that someone atlast found out what Somalis are good at ...here is a taste of whats to come...

 

......"He said that the warlords never killed the one thing the Somalis like doing most - talking, talking, and talking. It is the reason, he said, that Somalis in the UK, Sweden, the US, Canada or Nairobi share one thing in common - they all know which places have the cheapest phones, as well as where to find phone booths that are malfunctioning, on which you can talk for one hour to a relative abroad and pay less than a dollar.

 

The day you go to a city and find Somalis there who don't know where you can make the cheapest call, then you will know that the Somali nation is in crisis, he said. "For now, we are doing very well,"

 

 

Here is the whole article by Charles...

....Old style Gov.

The result, he said, is that Somalia is the only Third World country that has reversed the exodus to the big city. And it is the only African country where many services are better upcountry than in the capital. Said he, "That, in a strange way, might be where Africa's future lies." Amid the carnage, Somalia might have moved on in ways that the rest of the world missed.

An interesting perspective.

I am concerned about the future of the free enterprise in Somalia. Will they let it thrive and continue or will they stifle the progress and impose some sort of monopoly?

 

With the old mentality being at the helms of the future government, there is a lot to worry about honestly. It is the conundrum of accepting uneducated, unschooled leadership in the workings of a modern day government because of some frivolous archaic system which had to be used to form a government.
