Africa is rapidly rising as an important market full of economic opportunities as a whole. This is a very good time to go to Africa as a businessman as opportunities are abundant and the market allows entry for newcomers.

It has such a massive abundance of natural resources and such. Seeing a developed Africa would definitely be interesting- with such a large amount of coast facing the New World I can imagine that the trade between the Americas and Africa would be pretty impressive.

It has such a massive abundance of natural resources and such. Seeing a developed Africa would definitely be interesting- with such a large amount of coast facing the New World I can imagine that the trade between the Americas and Africa would be pretty impressive.

Its far too early to speak of a developed Africa, also depends on what you mean by developed. I think there will continue to be huge wealth discrepancies in Africa as well as many social problems, but undoubtedly, many African states have reached a stage where they can afford to provide some stability and tremendous economic growth as well. I think it is possible that the future Africa may somewhat resemble today's SE Asia, which is still not 1st world, and has huge wealth discrepancies, and poverty, but also has tremendous opportunities and maturing industries.

Either way, I think for a sharp, adaptible entrepreneur, Africa presents many opportunities because many of its lower tier industries are not dominated by long time market players, and thus with less capital, you can establish a significant presence.

I heard of an entrepreneur from one of my ancestral provinces in Eastern China who went to Malawi with funds scraped from his villagers with no clue as to what Africa was like, decided it was hot so he opeed an ice cream factory and ended up becoming the dominant ice cream producer in the region and one of the most influential businessmen there within a scope of ten years. That's impossible in a developed country, but if you have maybe $50,000 in capital and can sense opportunities, you can accomplish these things in Africa where lower tier industries provide a great deal of growth and lower threshholds of entry for businessmen.

Michael Stock is pursuing an extreme version of that basic investor’s principle: Get in early. He’s just finished building a resort on the coast of war-torn Mogadishu, Somalia.

I hope so.

[Prince Of Macrobia]

It is a big step from the images presented by the 1993 movie Black Hawk Down to the idea of Mogadishu as a holiday resort.

Well believe it or not work is underway on the development of a multi-million dollar beach resort in Mogadishu with this being a prominent indicator of the building boom underway there. - See more at: http://www.portstrategy.com/news101/insight-and-opinion/the-strategist/holidays-in-mogadishu#sthash.qltqH1fa.dpuf

Go Africa! Be developed so that the African diaspora in Latin-America and Europe will return to the continent.

[armenianbodyhair]

This looks good, I hope it works out well for the people and not just big business from overseas.

[Theron]

Not within this century, and most likely not within the next century. Optimism without realism is dangerous.

On the topic of African development, I'm particularly wary about Chinese meddling and propping up of corrupt regimes, U.S-style.

That said, I'm happy to see a focused and ambitious Somalia emerging from the rubble of its civil war.

[Smaug]

Nice, looking foward.

[Fedex]

Interesting, I guess there's a business opportunity now. Does people there eats apples or drink wine?

[zhaoyun]

Not within this century, and most likely not within the next century. Optimism without realism is dangerous.

I don't think Africa will become first world in this century, certainly not at the levels of the West and Japan. But I do think it can develop into a large market with more stable political entities.

I am sure this will happen. Africa is a major area of interest for the PRC.

Of course, we do eat apple but not grows in Somalia, we imported some other countries. About the wines, the top leaders do drink wine if you know what i mean these secular one.

[Prince Of Macrobia]

I've been living outside Somalia since I was 4 years old but now willing to go back home. I turned 26 years in this month.
I know what is like been living outside your country and how is like being living as a refugee.

However, no matter how people look and what Ethnic they belong or Religion they believe in but in life I experienced that hate none, Love all. :D

I encountered that tactic in an economics forum, wherein the speaker likened it to a Bloody ocean and Blue Ocean dynamic. Businesses in the blue ocean zone favor start-ups and small enterprises because the place is untapped but businessmen in the bloody ocean zone (saturated markets), often compete with one another only to fail and there is little chance of any start-ups succeeding there.

If you want to get ahead with little you should go to young markets and not slug it out and eventually die in mature ones.

The Chinese are making big inroads there, and if I'm not mistaken, India as well. There is a book with Africa divided between the flags of India and China on the cover. I should read it.

[Selurong]

Actually, wine growing is something tropical Africa has great potential in. Instead of having 1 harvest, as is the case in Temperate areas with 4 seasons, you guys can have 2 (sometimes even 3) harvests due to the continuous sunny weather.

The only drawback is that you have to clear forests and nature reserves to make farms and clearing them out to create farms will only increase the world's pollution, not reduce it.

[Selurong]

The Chinese are making big inroads there, and if I'm not mistaken, India as well. There is a book with Africa divided between the flags of India and China on the cover. I should read it.

South Africa, Madagascar and the nations near the Indian ocean are mostly Indian dominated (Mahatma Gandhi for example worked in South Africa) while the African Gulf and Sub-Saharan African nations are more China dominated.

Boss, this was n't true based story. the Kenyan's Government investigated and found out that killings behind by some Politicians living in that region. Al-shabab doesn't have that Power to do anything. They are very week. even if woman dies in Accident,.. Alshabab claims!! they can say> is us who killed that woman.

Yeah I know cuz I live there 20 years. anyway, Afrikaners originated from Holland!! They do understand one another.

[Theron]

Mutually intelligible, with rather minor phonetic and orthographic differences. A Dutchman would claim Afrikaans sounds like uncivilised Dutch :p

Afrikaans is basically 17 and 18th century Dutch with a German influence.

Loki can elaborate if he wants :)

[Fortis in Arduis]

I hope that Somalian architectural heritage will be restored and preserved alongside the new developments.

[Selurong]

Yeah I know cuz I live there 20 years. anyway, Afrikaaners originated from Holland!! They understand one another.

But even though they understand one another I think those are two different languages entirely. But thanks for the info. Where did you live in the Rainbow Nation?

[Theron]

>> I thought I saw S.A's flag on your profile!! Jy praat Afrikaans??

Yeah. English first language though. Out of interest, on what level is your Afrikaans at?

We'll that's what Latin-Americans say of Chavacano too (Uncivilized Spanish), but the Spanish speakers here say that they only understand 1/3rd of the words in Chavacano, which is a daughter-language of Mexican-Spanish with Visayan [Which in turn is a daughter language of Sumatran Srivijayan] rather than straight up Castillian Spanish.

At least they understand each other in Dutch and Afrkianer, Chavacano speakers and Spanish speakers only understand one another 1/3rd of the time.

[Prince Of Macrobia]

But even though they understand one another I think those are two different languages entirely. But thanks for the info. Where did you live in the Rainbow Nation?

The phrases and some words are a bit different. you welcome.

I live in cape Town aka Mother City.

[Prince Of Macrobia]

Yeah. English first language though. Out of interest, on what level is your Afrikaans at?

High School level but not that good 100% in Afrikaners, maybe 60% and English is my second language as well.

Our new government allowed any newcomers to invest the country, as you see Michael Stock invested Mogadishu and built a new Front beach Hotels which coast Millions of dollars, the Somalia government gave him a very big land and tight security. and this days many foreigners are came to invest in Somalia, example Turkish companies as well SkyGreece Airlines and some others are invested Somalia which means everyone welcome. this is new Somalia!!

Ive always thought that if the Horn countries such as Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, could stabilize and create a good atmosphere for growth, they'd probably be amongst the leaders in Africa because of their long heritage and deep identities. Nice to see Somalia make a turn for the better!

Am pretty sure, and this story you mentioned happened in Buulo barde city, located middle region of Somalia were Al-shabab militia hold, and it was true the Extremist blocked the way for Aid Agencies. but is not true famine in Somalia right now. You know media can tell sometimes lairs in order to amuse people because they want their Channel to be favorite. Anyway, Somalia now positively recovering from the chaos.

[Prince Of Macrobia]

Isn't there a war going on in Somalia?

Yes, there is some places war going on still but the government captured many strategy cities with help AU, such a: Garabaharey, Baladhawo, Luuq, Buurdubo and more. Government only remaining for them 2 Region: Barava and Hiiran, specially Buulo burde and bardere, with in weeks to come they will wipe away these Extremist.
