Somalia is a beautiful country and one can imagine how magnificant this city Mogadishu once was. The sad reality is that today it is completely destroyed. The face of buildings across the city is riddled with bullets. in all shapes and sizes...more often you will see that the walls of some of the buildings are crumbled heaps - in fact 90% of Mogadihu is in rubble and I wish that were an exagerration!
There are so many things happening here in the country. The lack of political structure and clan warfare has without a doubt been one of the major contributing factors of famine.
The second factor is the biggest facade that we have all fallen prey to. Somali's have been forbidden from fishing in there own waters, if a Somali fisherman goes deep where the fish are the brand him a pirate, in the meantime there are tons of foreign fishing fleets in Somalia's water raping her seas. There are foreign forces intervening in this country and they are ruining the country with the aim of maintaining the status quo of poverty and deprevation.
It is this poverty and ongoing violence that has prevented Somali's from moving forward and surviving the drought.
Please the next time you see a Somali share with them your love and support these are truely beautiful people who have endured alot of undeserving hardship.
