The Fragile States Index and the Freedom House are not meant for a country like Somalia.
Somalia is sui generis, none of these measures capture what life in Somalia is like.

Haiti and South Sudan are not less fragile than Somalia, and Ethiopia is not more free.
Useless measures.

Makes sense. Somalia would be Congo without turkey and qatar. It’s not a paper state when used correctly, but it is under certain leaders.

No fault in politics. The uprising happened within SL's Daddy British borders.

Failed state is underpinned by failed principles

Precisely -
1) lack of accountability - "this doesn't apply to us, meaningless etc"
2) blame shifting - the invention of arbitrary rules, criteria and conditions to shift the blame elsehwere
3) denial - "this can't be real?????"

I don't take these stats seriously they never even set their foot in Somalia they just guess it
it's like the iq stats of Richard Lyn

-Ethiopia literally lost 600K people in during tigray war and there is another Amhara civil war going on almost 20 million people are on the verge of starvation

-Palestine is completely demolished

-Haiti doesn't even have government

-Yemen is controlled by Houthi terrorists and there is no government

-Sudan is literally in civil war where hundreds died and stil ongoing

-Congo is literally in a civil war where hundreds of thousands died

But yeah we are more fragile than all those states what a joke

Somalia is the only country to score 10/10 for demographic pressures. A lot of the other failed states don't have this kind of demographic issue, which some people see as a plus (future invading hoardes etc). This contributes a lot to it's high score.

However the point you seem to be interested in is state legitimacy which for Somalia is 9.6 out of 10.
Only Haiti, Equatorial Guinea, Yemen, South Sudan, North Korea, Iran, Turkmenistan, Guinea,
Eritrea scored worse.

The FGS is not a broadly accepted and it makes no effort to legitimize itself.

Anyway we don't care about these liberal western stats their agenda against us is clear we are getting better than what we used to be at some point I'm sure life in Somalia is way better than those countries
