With 44% of your population living below poverty line not being in the list isn't something you should be boasting about. The list has been criticized time and again for its poor source credibility. Another problem with the list is that if you are a capitalistic country, you automatically qualify for middle income which to me seems like a propaganda than something to be taken seriously. You are poor and weak, we both know that. You're hiding behind capitalistic propagandas forged by the Americans. IMF is brainwashing you. Your country can't stand against anyone without help from outside. Nairobi home to over 1 million kiberians ( the rest of the six million coming from Makadara and Co.) can't compete with Dar Metro but you keep lying to yourselves everyday saying Nai is in the same league as Dar. Have you seen Dar? Hehehe, there are no slums in dar. More than 83 percent of people living in dar are middle income ( this disqualify Nai from even being mentioned in the same sentence as Dar ). Americans are struggling with jobs as we are speaking because EU makes automobiles, China makes tech stuffs ( even Apple assembles parts from China ), are you talking about Lupitas Hollywood gig? They have a very strong currency but no jobs that's why Trump is introducing tariffs.
