While many would agree with you David, there is another perspective. |

The problems of Somalia are not at all due the reasons I given by David who has a ccepted hook line and sinker the position of neo colonialists and liberals. The most sig problem has been the invasion of the country by Italy in the 1920s which led to the wasteland under the heel of Ethiopia. Since independence Somalia has suffered from rule by isis backed war Lords and high energy prices for cooking which has led to trees being cut down for firewood. The loss of trees and grass has decimated the cattle hence the hunger. Somalia and Ethiopia are also in the front line of regions suffering from climate change. |

There is no such thing as a welfare state in trad pastoral societies such as Somalia. Large families are a necessity as the children help with the farming. Cattle herding and provide for the old. Welfare and work is based on the extended family and the tribe. |

Another dimension to the situation is that as militia move around the country, it does not buy food but simply takes what it wants, leaving farmers with little or no food to feed families. |

How can you weave anti Brexit views into everything !! |

RolloTheRed | Report | 23 Feb 2017 11:38 |
I havent woven anything the Brits are running attempts at bilateral sweetheart deals in e Europe in return for support in the upcoming negs. The deals would be financed by the foreign aid budget. Paris and Berlin are displeased and have warned London that such actions could result in no negs at all apart from the brexit bill itself. |

So the UK is spending some money to look after home rather than for instance funding a girl band..and Germany and France the two countries who will have to pick up the financial slack are sulking what a surprise.... |

Rollo, that is actually complete rubbish, and you know it. War, starvation, destitution, all these dire situations were alive and well in Africa long long before brexit. It's an insovable problem while countries persist in fighting each other and their economies are constantly wrecked by warfare. Help for problems caused by natural disasters are almost always immediately wrecked, leaving the population once again starving and displaced. These constant conflicts are not the sole fault of his country, though I'm sure you'd like to convince us otherwise |

You know that these deals are being financed by foreign aid?!! I don't think you do, I think you just like to sound all knowing and terribly important, safe in the knowledge that no one on here will challenge your flimsy information! |
