Diredawa City Plans

Moderline said this to Rolman Karin. Mogadishu Port's development truly did not match its original historical status. Before East Africa occupied Mogadishu, it should have been the largest port along the East African coast. Now, it could only be compared with some relatively unimportant ports.

On one hand, this was because East Africa had concentrated its efforts on developing the south and inland regions. On the other, East Africa's early destruction of the Geleidi Sultanate had caused its original commerce and trade to plunge off a cliff, eventually disappearing altogether. Only in the past two or three years had it begun to prosper again through the fruit and vegetable trade.

"Commissioner, then I'll have to trouble you. Our province has been at a disadvantage in immigrant quotas for many years. If we can bring in more immigrants, it will certainly greatly ease the labor shortage within the province," Rolman Karin said.

Most immigrants were high-quality laborers; that was beyond doubt. They might simply need some time to adapt and integrate into East Africa when they first arrived.

"Don't celebrate too early. I'm only reporting it to the Central Government. Whether the Central Government agrees is another matter. Still, they will most likely approve it. Since they approved your plan before, that shows the Central Government attaches great importance to it."

What Moderline said was deliberately ambiguous, but inwardly, he thought that they had no choice but to take it seriously. The Somalia region project was bound to turn a profit, so the East African government was willing to invest in it. Otherwise, it certainly would not have approved the Eurasian Fruit Basket Plan. Since it had already recognized this project, it would definitely commit resources to it.
