Somali Businesses In Eastleigh.mov
Рет қаралды 65,945
This is a USIU-Africa student project. We investigate why the Somali-dominated district of Nairobi, Eastleigh, has become a trade hub for all of East Africa despite the very poor infrastructure of the district.
Our interviewees are Somali community leader Hajji Hussein, businessman Muhammed Ibrahim Shakul, anthropologist Dr. Paul Goldsmith, and professor Macharia Munene (USIU).

Im kenyan and have grown up with Somalis and they are generous and ambitious people, they might have political problems in their countries but they also build the Kenyan economy by paying taxes. We are all brothers and sisters Mashallah !

Somali people are accomplished business people and a great source of revenue for the in-coming government. The question of what makes them good business people was not fully addressed. As far back as 1331, Ibn Batuta described Mogadishu as "an extremely large city with many merchants." That, puts the Somali people in the front line as far as commerce is concerned. They see opportunities faster than other communities.

Somalis are a thorn to Indian and British retail business interest in East Africa, by living side by side with their fellow Africans and linking them to alternative markets and goods from Asia, they have side stepped the Indians and white retail businesses who rather keep a sterile distance from Africans, while still wanting to make money from them. Some Kenyans have now setup similar business in Eastleigh as they have learned from the Somalis.

The unsanitary place the garbage and sewer water sitting everywhere which is not healthy I think is it deliberate because I seen South Africa where somalis have businesses is like that the government doesn't clean up or fix the road. Because as Somali people we like clean presentable where we live and work. I think is time Somalis came back home.

What I meant by not kissing ass is not feeling inferior or less than the white man actually he is my biggest supporter. I desire the best of everything.

Without Kenya's well educated working class, tea , coffee and other crops make Kenya's promote these businesses. There is a big customer base considering Kenya is the biggest economy in East and Central Africa even before Somalia came to Kenya in the 90's. Indigenous Kenyans are the one who bring foreign exchange to the country and Somaliland are beneficially because they aren't in agriculture, manufacturing and tourism which bring Kenya foreign exchange.
