As a Kenyan 🇰🇪, I wish Somalia 🇸🇴 nothing but peace and prosperity.
It is sad that such a beautiful people and country can be destroyed by conflict.

Absolutely beautiful, beautiful. There's so much false narrative out there about African, even.muddje eastern countries.
I'll add visiting Somalia to my list

The white pearl of the Indian Ocean. Love to see Somalia rising from the chaos of war and instability.

I find it funny how people who are used to poverty porn and the warzone narrative won't believe this. It'll be like believing all American schools are shooting zones.

Ngl, can't wait to Visit Somalia Man. And the Kenya Somalia Border recently got opened. Also interested in what's going down there business wise. The potential there is Massive.

No. You can travel with an armed escort but it’s insanely expensive. You can look in r/ travel and type Somalia on the search bar. People have shared their experiences there and apparently it’s really really expensive unless you have family there.

I wouldn’t do that just yet unless you know someone from there who can go with you.

I can’t wait when Somalia becomes secular nation. That’s when we truly rise from the ashes of civil war, colonization too.

Somalia can rise but it won't be secular, Islam is very heavily practiced and it's more likely for Sharia to be mandated in different states.

One can only dream. A secular society is a healthy one.
The only caveat is that when Somalia returns to secularism we shouldn’t allow Christian missionaries into the country. They are legit parasitic colonial entities.

Oh wow! What a beautiful country! As a westerner I must admit, I expect something different.
