Hobyo port has significant economic potential. While Pakistan's Gwadar port is connected by land to major manufacturing cities in China, Hobyo offers a shorter travel distance to Africa, making it a strategic gateway for China’s Belt and Road Initiative in Africa. However, for Hobyo to succeed, the Hawiye clan must take decisive action. Every Hawiye member allied with Al-Shabaab must be eliminated, and Galmudug must become a safe haven for economic growth and opportunity. I know you have the power to make this happen, but if you believe Al-Shabaab will disappear without bloodshed, you're deluding yourselves. Without action, investment in Hobyo will be wasted.
