#1 I could do better than this off the top of my head. Somalia is now three countries. Somaliland in the north. Puntland in the centre, and a rump Somalia in the south. The former are relatively stable although poor. The violence and chaos is largely restricted to rump Somalia and mostly results from fighting over the goodies that come with international and UN recognition. This analysis is crap.
