Men Somalia er ikke akkurat det herligste landet i verden i følge Wikipedia...
"Somalia has been characterized as a failed state and is one of the poorest and most violent states in the world."
Selvfølgelig er det en "failed state". Allikevel skylder dere på anarki
Også fra Wikipedia: Somalia's public healthcare system was largely destroyed during the ensuing civil war. As with other previously nationalized sectors, informal providers have filled the vacuum and replaced the former government monopoly over healthcare, with access to facilities witnessing a significant increase.[158] Many new healthcare centers, clinics, hospitals and pharmacies have in the process been established through home-grown Somali initiatives.[158] The cost of medical consultations and treatment in these facilities is low, at $5.72 per visit in health centers (with a population coverage of 95%), and between $1.89–$3.97 per outpatient visit and $7.83–$13.95 per bed day in primary through tertiary hospitals.[159]
Comparing the 2005–2010 period with the half-decade just prior to the outbreak of the conflict (1985–1990), life expectancy actually increased from an average of 47 years for men and women to 48.2 years for men and 51.0 years for women.[160][161] Similarly, the number of one-year-olds fully immunized against measles rose from 30% in 1985–1990 to 40% in 2000–2005,[160][162] and for tuberculosis, it grew nearly 20% from 31% to 50% over the same period.[160][162] In keeping with the trend, the number of infants with low birth weight fell from 16 per 1000 to 0.3, a 15% drop in total over the same timeframe.[160][163] Between 2005–2010 as compared to the 1985–1990 period, infant mortality per 1,000 births also fell from 152 to 109.6.[160][161] Significantly, maternal mortality per 100,000 births fell from 1,600 in the pre-war 1985–1990 half-decade to 1,100 in the 2000–2005 period.[160][164] The number of physicians per 100,000 people also rose from 3.4 to 4 over the same timeframe,[160][162] as did the percentage of the population with access to sanitation services, which increased from 18% to 26%.[160][162]
Higher education in Somalia is now largely private. Several universities in the country, including Mogadishu University, have been scored among the 100 best universities in Africa in spite of the harsh environment, which has been hailed as a triumph for grass-roots initiatives.[183]
According to the CIA and the Central Bank of Somalia, despite experiencing civil unrest, Somalia has maintained a healthy informal economy, based mainly on livestock, remittance/money transfer companies and telecommunications.[2][29] Due to a dearth of formal government statistics and the recent civil war, it is difficult to gauge the size or growth of the economy. For 1994, the CIA estimated the GDP at $3.3 billion.[185] In 2001, it was estimated to be $4.1 billion.[186] By 2009, the CIA estimated that the GDP had grown to $5.731 billion, with a projected real growth rate of 2.6%.[2] According to a 2007 British Chambers of Commerce report, the private sector also grew, particularly in the service sector. Unlike the pre-civil war period when most services and the industrial sector were government-run, there has been substantial, albeit unmeasured, private investment in commercial activities; this has been largely financed by the Somali diaspora, and includes trade and marketing, money transfer services, transportation, communications, fishery equipment, airlines, telecommunications, education, health, construction and hotels.[187] Libertarian economist Peter T. Leeson attributes this increased economic activity to the Somali customary law (referred to as Xeer), which he suggests provides a stable environment to conduct business in.[157]
The Central Bank of Somalia indicates that the country's GDP per capita is $333, which is lower than that of Kenya at $350, but better than that of Tanzania at $280 as well as Eritrea at $190 and Ethiopia at $100.[29] However, the CIA puts Somalia's GDP per capita at $600.[2]
Som nevnt må man se Somalia i sammenheng. Somalia må sammenlignes opp mot afrikanske stater, hovedsaklig naboland. Å forvente at Somalia skal sprette opp på norsk standard bare fordi staten kollapser er tull.
Grunnen til at det er så mange som har rømt og rømmer fra Somalia er krig mellom islamister og den somaliske staten med Kenya som alliert. Gjett hva de kriger om? Kontroll over statsapparatet.
Jeg er ikke så dum at jeg ikke skjønner at det er en umulighet å bare fjerne statsapparatet og forvente at ting skal gå helt smuud. Det jeg heller tar sikte på(som de fleste som deler mine meninger også tar sikte på) er at folk flest skal få en moralsk forståelse av hva staten egentlig er, og at staten med det sakte men sikkert vil forsvinne av seg selv.
Jeg tror ikke at 20 år med anarki har gjort underverker med landet... Kjenner et par somaliere og de sier at landet er i fullstendig kaos og at folk flest kjenner seg veldig utrygge der. Det er vel også det landet i verden som flest mulig prøver å rømme fra.
