As someone from Sudan, I feel it's my obligation to go back and at least try to fix some of the major concerns Sudanese face today.
Health - Sudanese still face diseases that are essentially non-existent in countries abroad. One being Malaria and the other Yellow Fever. These two things could be eradicated if proper hygiene and overall better waste management was introduced, but as of right now, people still discard of human waste by shitting in a hole and discard of dirty water by tossing it out on the sun-baked "streets". A proper water and waste management system is vital to any country wanting to be first world. This needs to change.
Energy - Sudanese electricity is probably one of the worst managed in the world. You can't rely on it, so food that is bought that day must be eaten that day. Sudan has a lot of natural resources, but it's the infrastructure that is fleeting. Part of the infrastructure most also use renewable resources that will slash the outrage costs of electricity today. Over the past 10 years it has been getting better, but it still needs to fundamentally change.
Roads - Sudan has some of the worst roads ever. There is rarely any pavement. Most roads are simply the ground. People have trouble traveling long distances because of this. And it's also why people rarely own cars and also another reason why public transportation is so bad. Most importantly, businesses need roads to transport goods. Roads and energy together could make for a huge economical boom. This needs to change.
Farms - People who are considered rich own farms. Even though Sudan is the biggest country in Africa, we still import wheat and grain. Proper water management is needed so farmers can arrogate their crops and finally put a back bone into the national economy.
I have a pretty clear plan on how to fix these problems, but it's all about money. I'm going to college, but I may start my own business before I graduate. I already have a business plan and the proper alliances to get it off the ground, I just need money.
Once my business is off the ground though, it'll only be a matter of years before I turn it over to someone I trust and start my own parent corporation that will either invest, or use my money to literally build some ideas I have just sitting here. Times change though, so I know I'll have to keep ahead of the curve in terms of ideas; but all it takes is that one big idea to get onto the national scene. Afterwords, I'll sprout sister companies, and angel investors.
Once my corporation starts to take hold and finds footing in the national market, this is when I'll call on a select few of my relationships I've created as well as my three brothers and start handling business in other parts of the world including Japan, China, Europe, and especially South America. I have no idea what I'll invest in just yet, but just like Donald, it's going to be varied.
Finally, once my corporation is settled in the international world, I'll turn it into a not-for-profit and use all the resources, partnerships, and activists that I can find to help rebuild Sudan; from the bottom up. Building will be tough and take a long time, but it'll have the eyes of the world watching ever step. Hope and praise will flood into Sudan. People will finally be happier.
Once everything is built and money starts flooding back into the system; Sudan will become the jewel of Africa. I'll immediately start construction on "The Tower of Sudan" which will be located right where the blue and white Nile meet. It'll be glorious; gorgeous; a shining example of the new coming out of the old; The Tower of Sudan. From there, I'll invest in Sudan. New business projects of every kind will take shape, allowing people to find jobs in whatever field they so choose. I'll call on other African countries to follow suit and point at the economic success of Sudan. "Build from the bottom up" I'll say, campaigning in other countries for those that don't have a voice. Hopefully, with some luck, the governments will heed my words.
This is where I really hope I can make a difference. If they truly listen, after the initial industrial phase, African countries will become more self dependent and start truly making markets that the international world will call "viable". That's when I'll try to start AFTA (African Free Trade Association). This will help stop the trickling of resources to other countries that are not African by making trading with other African nations more lucrative. This will boost the trade within Africa and finally let companies and investors within Africa thrive. This would in turn boost Africa's entire GDP and finally let Africa as a continent come together after so many years of strife and start building itself as a whole (the only way it can work). If money then comes into Africa from the world abroad, there will be no more need for such harsh unethical trade conglomerates that allow blood diamonds to be so influential.
After trying to plant the seed of growth within the heart of Africa, I will retire; traveling all over the world and doing what I love: listening to new music, making music, meeting new people, and finding more to life than myself.
Some where in there, I hope to find a women who is as passionate and as free-thinking as myself and maybe start a family and have some children.
