No one doubts that the Horn of Africa States region is a young region with about 70 per cent of its population under the age of 25 years and, of course, many of this youthful population are out of work and even those who are older are out of work. This prompts the continuing migration out of the region. No wonder the region is marked literally by mass migration out of the region.
However, it is also a noticeable feature of the region to see other people manning even the most menial of jobs, mostly East African, the majority from Kenya, but there are Ugandans and there are Tanzanians, and one often encounters Burundians and Rwandese and Tanzanians. There are now even migrant Yemeni populations that have escaped from the wars of Yemen increasing in the region, taking over many of the menial jobs, construction business and many other economic projects such as the restaurant and trading businesses, without proper controls and proper immigration rules.
Is this why they want to empty the land from its people and replace them with East Africans and others? No wonder Somalia and even Ethiopia are being pushed to become part of the large so-called East African Community, but really a Central African Community, which stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean, in the heart of Africa.
One often finds these East Africans as drivers and waiters and masons and mason helpers, jobs that really do not need any special skills. One would find cooks and cook helpers and one would find them manning many of the hotels of the region and what happens to the hotels of the region? They are often exploded by bombs which are blamed on the normal scapegoats. Could these cooks, drivers, and waiters be part of the problem, which the governments of the region are unable to manage as most of the bombs seem to be insider jobs. Who knows those people and vets for them to be in the region in the first place?
