If you have time please try to read the article I just posted to understand more about root causes of Somalia's failure to exist as a nation-state.
Poor Somalia When I saw you veering off the right path When I saw that fierce look in your eye I decided to defuse and dismnatle your plans I touched buttons secretly in the dark The tribal rift supported me proactively Poor Somalia That gun you have pointed at me Has overnight made a-180 degree turn My eternal wish was to bring you down You didn't notice the widening cracks Until the roof came upon you like an axe What a mighty collapse I masterminded! Poor Somalia Now you want me to come to your rescue Do you think I pull you through the rubble? I can only attend your funeral ceremony Because by then you are no more a foe I feel pity for your new neighbors Poor Somalia ��

Abdi Noor, I'm saddened to read this, yet I see hope as in all things brought down, they can arise again stonger and better than before. That is my prayer for you and your countrymen!

And I truly hope that can be avoided, Abdi-Noor.
