Leila left Finland to start her own business in Somalia

Leila came from Somalia to Finland as a refugee in the 90’s. Couple of years ago she decided to move back to her birth country and established a solar panel company. Now she employs around 30 youngsters. “I came back to Somalia, because I thought this is a successful business, but creating jobs for young people is also important, ” Leila says. Her solar panel system helps farmers to pump water from the wells and to irrigate the farmland.
This video is part of media project, which was conducted by Wali Media Production Center and funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland in 2017.

It does not matter whether Leila is from British Protectorate Somaliland or Italian Somaliland, what matters is that she has done a good job. See, she realized that it is time to go back to her home country and help to create jobs for young peoplea - as saying goes " it is better late than never". We, Somalis need more more people like her. I salute her! The case of Somaliland's struggle to gain its recognition, I, from Italian Somaliland strongly believe that Somaliland deserve its independence. I support Somaliland for as a country of its own. God bless all Somalis wherever they are.

In Eurrope there is no opportunites available for doing a business, if you are poor,you stay poor forever, and rich people stay richer,chances to do business are very rare,and limited. If you are in Europe, the chance you have is to learn and build up your education while you are in Europe. Sooner you finish your education, never stay longer in Europe, come back to Motherland like our sister Leila did, Iam sure if you plan something small in homeland, and do gratually, Iam sure that you will have a good chance to be very rich, because the chance to be riich, is still available in our homeland.

[@Hobyosultana]

@Mikko Funny. European countries caused all of the chaos in Africa and therefore have caused the migration of African people to Europe. And now you complain about them "leeching" off of systems they provided the resources for. Do you think Europe would be where it is today if they didn't leech off of Africa? If they didn't quite literally, rape Africa? Do you think Africa would be the way it is today if it's youngest generation of work-able people weren't shipped off to the West? If European and Arabs didn't plunder its lands for resources?
