“told Maal Magazine on the sidelines of a Somalia economics organization meeting
earlier this week.
“A big human potential also lives in the diaspora,” he said. “And they are hardworking people. I believe that Somalia may even become a donor country, not an aid receiver, soon once it overcomes political and security problems.”
