Since livestock is the backbone of Somali land's economy, it is of great importance to develop it and and make it an industry of its own. Dairy products alone are what makes many European countries rich. Many people of the world wonder why are we poor when we have this natural resource. The only thing we need is to look around and see the many things Allah gave us free. The advanced countries we see today made use of their natural resources. Nothing came to them from the sky. We will beg as long as we are idle chewing Kat.
I couldn't agree more, Khalid. We could concentrate on agriculture, the breeding of health livestock, dairy products and to build factories and also learn how to reserve pasture and water for animals to help our nomads settle in one place to breed lovestock, instead of wandering around . And then start a gradual exploration of our other natural resources that we are rich in which is yet to be discoverd.
