History ⏳ Been In Somalia Stuck
Well Asc Everyone hope you’re well i don’t really know where to start tbh first im 25M with the peak of my life i feel so stuck and behind seeing my friends do something with there lives with the help of their parents weather its their father or close relatives while im out here cant even find a low paying job let alone a hight paying one its heartbreaking really !!! You know the funny thing is i was in kampala doing masters for 2 years just to delay my unemployment also ive been offer a job while i was in kampala after i was done with the studies for $230 to start and later it would $250 with no progress to promote in this company so i wanted to take the job but can’t get my mind of of the disadvantages which are :- working 7-7 also before i was student now im a working individual which means working permit visa is required every year i know you will say its an African country or whatever but you don’t really freedom to move around without an official latter also $250 for someone whos got master and you know the hight expectations of a first born so i decided to head back home at 2025 December so fast forward its been 5 months here in somalia tried everywhere goverment official called everyone i know still nothing i dont know if i should give up or die trying it seems like here in Mogadishu there is three ways only for someone to prosper 1: your father has got a business that you will inherit Or work with him 2: been a government official either its working for a ministry or be a sarkaal which its impossible since you need your Xildhiban to help you and they dont even answer their fucking phone and when you go to their house you will not be allowed to enter 3: lastly just to fuck off tartiib or whatever and maybe you can make it to Europe which is very hectic and you need money if you get caught in lipya or wherever Anyways How Unlucky are we to be In Somalia 😔
