The
Somalia wars since decades have left the country starved and economically crippled. This horn country on the east coast of Africa is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in the world.
The
government in Somalia is unstable, rather an officially unrecognized body. Though voting systems exist, they are hardly of any importance because
civil war of Somalia has uprooted all possibilities of development and peace. The relatively undisturbed region in Somalia includes the northern frontiers.
The
Republic of Somaliland was formed after much bloodshed and revolt on the first of July 1960. The British Somaliland and the Italy occupied Somaliland after independence came together to for what is called the republic of Somaliland. Somaliland is not entire Somalia. The French Somaliland evolved to the modern Djibouti.
