Somalia is a country completely reliant on aid, every year 2-3 million are prone to food shortages without drought. When there was a drought in 2017 almost 7 million people required food aid, that's half the country. It's in an entirely different league to other African countries but instead of facing the issue head on you people want to bury your heads in the sand. The only reason they are happy is cause they haven't seen what's on the other side, the side of Nintendo and Starbucks.

You do know many Somali villages and even towns lack basic necessities. They all eat that disgusting rotten rice and maize from food aid . The cadaans destroy the economy by donating tons of rotten rat infested food making local farming not profitable. No wonder why niggaz back home resemble Barkhad Captain Philips.right and places like Congo, South Sudan, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the likes have a Starbucks every half a mile and play Nintendo all day with food falling from the skies as if they are the Jews from Babylon...
believe what you want to believe but the poorest Somali village is way better of than the poorest village in subsaharan Africa ...
Somalia is a net exporter of food sxb-
and if you want to believe that that the United Nations and save the children feed half of Somalia’s population that’s your prerogative but don’t force it on us.....
Those numbers are merely created to maximise their income when requesting financial support from western governments...
It’s utter bullshit- those aid agencies don’t feed even a village let alone half of Somalia’s population and yes i do have the inside information as my own brother works for one of those agencies as a project manager.
I have been to Somalia, nearly all of somaliland and puntland from boorame to eyl and gaalkacyo and everything in between- I haven’t seen a place where it was awfully bad besides the idps...
I haven’t been to the south and I understand they are lacking if you compare to the north but it’s still miles better than their counterparts in mainland africa - life in Somalia is cheap and peaceful- yes they don’t have 6 lane roads but who has in Africa besides capitals owned by foreigners to extract raw goods to process in EU or America
On top of that I have been to 5 African countries including our neighbours Ethiopia and Kenya and the things I have seen were something you wouldn’t even think it belongs in a horror movie....
How can they be happy when they are completely reliant on remittances from relatives abroad or western ngo meals.You guys are pathetic walahi, yes Somalia maybe a shit country to your perspective from a western view..
but the average Somali lives a far better live than the most Africans ...
The only time Somalis really suffer is during the droughts and that’s every now and then...
don’t look at the foreign owned shiny buildings incapital cites across the continent, Africans live in a far worse condition than most Somalis ... our idps live a better life than them..
you are jokers, Somali people are some of the happiest people on the planet.. because majority of them live in peaceful environment with low crime rate and they eat 5 times a day without a worryand have plenty of opportunities to explore...
yes our government is absolute shite the worst in the world but our people despite the lack of a government atleast on par with African governments are blessed ....
Those countries have a lot of poverty as well but it's not on the scale of Somalia. The difference with Somalia is that it appears many are content with poverty. As the user above said they would rather eat food aid than fish in the ocean. Most Somali town are inland despite the land being very arid. If they are happy despite the situation they are in, it's best to chalk it down to ignorance. You said yourself that many of the areas are peaceful, so why hasn't there been progress for the last few hundred years? It's time we ask these questions without being labelled self haters.right and places like Congo, South Sudan, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the likes have a Starbucks every half a mile and play Nintendo all day with food falling from the skies as if they are the Jews from Babylon...

Good point. How many presidents and autonomous states does Somalia have again? That’s not a country.You have to be a country to make the list. We're not even a country. We are a failed state under a UN protectorate. Some of those countries on the list have their soldiers in Somalia.

Explain to me why Somalia needed food for 7 million people but is a net exporter of food.I don’t think you fully realise the extend of poverty across Africa, to say that African poverty is not to the extend of Somali poverty shows in depth your lack of research in continental Africa.
Somali life standards are above average if you compare it to subsaharan Africa. infact if studies were done that included Somalia it would embarrass the African countries with peace and governments and western support.
why hasn’t Somalia progressed in the last few hundred years?
Did you just really ask that question, because again in that question alone you confirm my suspicion that you are just arguing for the sake of arguments.

-do research on Somalia prior to the civil war-
1)Somalia has only regressed in the last 40 years, Simply because of lack of leadership... and my dear young one, the main reason for that being besides our silly tribal related instability, we have been carved up.
literally given to our neighbours on silver plates.. who completely destroyed any hope we had on reconciliation.. with the likes of Ethiopia and Kenya taking a lion share in our instability..
40 years lacking active government services - that’s a lot of time in the modern world to be without a national guidelines in education, health care, security, internal and external policies.
you look at many African countries in today’s world and you would think they would be miles ahead of Somalia in all the departments Somalia’s hasn’t had the chance opportunity to focus on, but that’s not the case.
somalia has a Somali serving and Somali lead thriving economy that many African are jealous of. You are just to uninformed about it.
it’s not self hate that’s making you question things that you have zero understanding of it’s just that you have no knowledge on the subject..
