afghanistan yes, congo not sure.Your remark ' everything is better than somalia' says it all really. So I suppose even Congo or Afghanistan are better, maybe you haven't travelled but I have an almost every third world countries way of life in terms of access to basics is on par or sometimes worst than somalia. Outside the capital cities they're all not better at all, in fact Somalia is doing pretty well for a place which hasn't had a functioning government.

What kind of statement is this? Of course Pakistan is better than Somalia, that is an undisputed fact. But it has nothing to do with Somalia's population (ethnic Somalis) and recourses, but rather a circumstantial case of being rocked by 30 years of intense and brutal civil war. Pakistanis, though they have achieved remarkable things (nukes, etc.), are not inherently superior to Somalis. Somalis were fucke.d by colonialism, putting at least 20% of its population outside of the borders of Somalia. Instead of recovering stably, they were later hijacked by a military dictatorship which placed strains on its economic/developmental growth and, over the course of time, caused the ignition of what is to be one of the most ruthless and bloody civil war in human history.
